    The Kingdom of Loathing

    Kingdom of loathing is a text-based adventure game, meaning instead of graphics, you get text, and you can only play a certain amount of time each day.

    Why play then, you ask?

    Because it is amazingly humorous, the community is just awesome, and there are tons of pop-culture references.
    Plus, it puts hardcore gamers (Like me) in their place. By only allowing a certain amount of adventures, or turns, per day, the gamer wont spend his or her time behind a computer screen and may be likely to go out for a walk or something.

    The website is
    The Kingdom of Loathing (or KoL, as it has come to be known by its player base) is a free, comical RPG, brought to you by the folks at Asymmetric Games.


    If you play, are interested in playing, or have concerns or complaints about the game, post them here.

      Hah, man. I remember this game. FFR had a huge clan about 2 years back, before there was even ascension in the game. I remember Tass and I were among the first to ascend, and he had a whole lot of meat and rare radio items.

      Let me look for that thread.

        Tass was a marketing fool back in the day. He got burnt out really quick, though. XD

        I remember the game got really boring eventually. Only being able to do so many actions per day just made me angry. If I could do unlimited actions and go through the whole game in a day I think I'd like it more. I definitely won't start over and have to go through the whole game and ascend again. -_-
        So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

        In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

        So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
        And I write the blog for their website.

        Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

          I have 10+ HC ascensions IIRC. I'll probably try playing again in the fall after I'm a little less busy and all the new content is sorted out. I like having a no-delete flag on my account. I haven't played in months, but if I ever want to get back in, it's there.

              Heh, if you think the regular adventure limits are harsh you should (or shouldn't) try a Hardcore Oxy run, you can't eat or drink anything throughout the entire thing, I had just finished my 6th and final one right before I lost interest and stopped playing.

                And that's why I'll never play again, cuz my d00dz are gone. I think I had 3 accounts, one for each class type. o_O

                I was in the middle of mine when I quit. I guess that's what did it.

                That and I think I started playing MS, which killed my relationship with every other game I played at the time. =\

                  Played for at least a year or so. Had about 7-8 HC Ascensions and 10+ SC Ascencions with one of my accounts.

                  I had about 50 million meat due to when they introduced the time outfit. I had 4 accounts and so ended up being able to get the entire outfit, which sold for a hell of a lot of money. Also had one of those lucky faces that add +25 to all stats and stop your account from being deleted, among other rares, then they introduced the "casino". I got a little greedy and after making around 250 million meat, lost it all in 2 games of casino. Pretty much quit there and then.

                    I hate people with the time outfit. I quit right before that happened.

                      I never actually cared about it apart from the millions of meat I got for the entire outfit. I got enough moves per day due to the food and drink I had hoarded for and I didn't want more to keep me busy.

                      Still, was a fun game. Would never go back to it though.

                        I'm a level 80 in that game. My main account is a nonascenscion account.

                        I pretty much just level up and collect items.


                        Now my 3rd and final account is my ascension account.

                            One good reason I'm a nonascender is because my account was made well before Ascension came out.

                              Holy hell. Have you guys read this? http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/static.php?id=ns13

                              This stuff sounds really awesome, a bigger content update than ascension rollout, that's just nuts, I'm going to have to start playing this again to at least try the new content.
