RuneScape? Incessant whining of nine-year-olds in every MMO? Turtlekid must be high, drunk, dumber than usual, or any combination thereof.
Try Kingdom of Loathing.
- No nine-year-olds.
- Its free-to-play model is much better than basically all of these other browser-based MMOs; donating $10 gets you a Mr. Accessory, which you can use as a +15 to all stats accessory, trade in at Mr. Store for neato burrito stuff like the Item of the Month, or sell in the mall for about 4.7 million Meat, which would be enough to let you get one of several older IotMs that have gone down in mall price rather than going up. Furthermore, you don't have to spend any real-life money to get these items; if you're dedicated enough, you can easily farm enough Meat in a month to buy a Mr. A in the mall. Last thing: unless you plan on being a speedrunner, you don't actually need any Mr. Store items. (Not stopping me from having a bunch of them, though, only about half of which I actually donated for - but then, I plan on attempting speedruns once I finish my current set of Hardcore runs [in which you have almost no interaction with other players - they can still do stuff like TP your house or throw pies at you, but you can't trade items, receive buffs, or acquire items from the mall - and no access whatsoever to most items from previous runs; specifically, I'm doing my last Bad Moon run, which is Hardcore plus no skills whatsoever from previous lifetimes, all of your familiars locked away, no ten-leaf clovers, and special adventures that don't appear in any other type of run to offset some of these problems]. Long parenthetical.) You used to need a Mr. Accessory or Mr. Store item in your inventory (or a Mr. Store familiar in your terrarium, or a Mr. Store skillbook on your bookshelf) at rollover (10:30 to ~11:00 Sun-Fri, 10:30 to whenever on Saturdays - all times Central Deezer Time) once to make your account permanent, but a few months ago, they removed that restriction, so all accounts live forever.
- KoL's wiki doesn't have any articles that look like they was typed up by twelve-year-olds.
- The content is hilarious, and the game part of the game is really fun to play now (unlike a few years back, when there wasn't an ascension game and a lot of the game mechanics were pretty awful).
