NOTE: I'm fully aware that there were other Kol topics made in the past. However, those topics merely asked users if they played it or not. This topic is devoted to persuading the average BBS user to join. SO PLZ DON'T LAWK, MODS.
Kingdom of loathing, one of the most unique online games that lack the morons you would find in games like runescape and Maplestory. Since most of the BBS population never heard of the game, this topic is here to convince you to stop fagging up the BBS with your unfunny/uninteresting posts and play it already.
Frequently asked questions:
1. What is Kingdom of loathing?
Kingdom of loathing is a text-based MMORPG that basically parodies and uses cultural references in its gameplay. Kingdom of loathing is fun and humorous due to its well-written and witty adventures and items referring to pop culture and music. Plus, every monster, character, location, and building is hand-drawn. Originality in an online game, much? Seriously, how can you not love the art in this game?
2. What makes Kingdom of loathing so great?
What makes Kingdom of loathing great is that it makes fun of everything with wit and smart humor. Whether it's an adventure, item, or monster battle, there's a pop-reference to it. All of the monsters’ attack, miss, and critical hit messages have something to do with pop-culture.
From Famous Bands to Internet memes.
Also, it makes fun of Internet users you would find in other online RPGs and forums.
If you use the internet and can’t relate to the last two monsters I posted, you should either:
A. Turn off your computer and never use it again
or
B. Kill yourself
What? It's text based liek no gud grafics or nething It sux 111111111
What makes Kol so great is that it lacks the prepubescent 13-year faggot like you who has the attention span of a person with down syndrome. Kol users are made up of well-versed college students and graduates since they get the jokes in the game, so you won't have to worry about 11-year olds using incorrect spelling and grammar. Which is great, because you have to pass a Literacy test if you want to enter chat. Maturity is strongly advised when entering chat, so if you're the kind of person who just wants to talk about how Naruto and Bleach rulz while spellin liek dis instead of asking for help in a proper manner in Kol, this game is NOT for you.
So how many BBS regulars actually play this game?
Just to name a few:
BananaBreadMuffin
tigerkitty
CryogenChaos
MattTheParanoidKat
scottmale24
Sarai
Heliopios
I believe there's more, but I'm too lazy to search.
I used to play kol, but there's nothing new to it. Is Jick too busy being a lazy fuck to improve the game? Why should I start playing it again?
Just so you know, NS13 is right around the corner. To anyone who hasn't play Kol and never heard of NS13, it's a massive update that Jick and Mr.Skullhead (they're the Kol equivalent to Tom and Wade) are planning to launch on June 25, 2007. It's going add more adventures, more trophies, more items, MORE EVERYTHING. Plus, improved gameplay.
Although I haven’t gone in-depth with the gameplay, Kingdom of Loathing is an awesome MMORPG for anyone who loves playing a game whose adventures and battles make fun of clichés and famous games/movies/songs/bands.
So what the fuck are you waiting for?
