[release] [b] What is Kingdom of Loathing?[/b] 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 Publications. KoL is currently in open beta -- it's open to the public to play, but it's not quite finished. More features and things to do are being added on a nearly daily basis. Despite its unfinished state, it has already attracted a thriving community of interesting, intelligent, and helpful players. KoL is, and always will be, free to play, but donations are appreciated and rewarded. KoL is played from the comfort of your browser, and is adorned with a staggering array of stunning hand-drawn images. It is turn-based, which means you get a certain number of turns (Adventures) each day.[/release] [release][b] So if its an RPG what classes are there?[/b] There are 6 classes, 2 classes for every mainstat (Muscle, Mysticality and Moxie). [img]http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/2/2f/Sealclubber.gif[/img] Seal Clubbers hail from the frigid Northlands, because one character class always hails from the frigid Northlands. They rely on their Muscle to survive. [img]http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/8/87/Turtletamer.gif[/img] The Turtle Tamer's mystical connection with his terrapin brethren imbues him with great power. He excels at moving very slowly and winning footraces with smug satisfaction. His Muscle is the key to his success, and to his long lifespan. [img]http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/0/05/Pastamancer.gif[/img] With his mastery of the arcane secrets of Noodlecraft, the Pastamancer is a force to be reckoned with. He relies on his Mysticality to get ahead in the world. [img]http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/9/9d/Sauceror.gif[/img] Long engaged in an uneasy truce with the Pastamancers, the guild of Saucerors protects the secrets of the Ancient Brotherhood of Gravymakers. Their Mysticality is their most important attribute. [img]http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/c/c3/Discobandit.gif[/img] The Disco Bandit boogies to and fro, hither and yon. Whence comes he? No man knows. Whither strikes he next? All men live in fear of him and his Moxie. [img]http://cdn.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/1/1c/Accordionthief.gif[/img] The scourge of mariachis and polka bands, the Accordion Thieves have plied their malign craft since time out of mind. Their Moxie serves them well in both their adventures and their interactions with "the ladies." [/release] [release] And this months challenge path. [img]http://cdn.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/0/09/Jarlsberg_avatar.gif[/img] You're filled with the spirit of Jarlsberg, the Legendary Wizard of the Times of Old. Armed with the secrets of the cosmos, you'll use an entirely new set of powerful spells to devastate your foes. [/release] [release][b] Those classes seem pretty fancy, I can't decide on just one![/b] You don't have to, after you complete the main questline you have a choice to "ascend". When you do this you can start all over with a new class, you get to keep your items and pets.

The game is filled with witty pop culture references and is generally hilarious.
Those classes are pretty cool.
I think those are the funniest classes I have even seen
I used to play KoL, but I'd be willing to dust off my accordion thief if other people joined.
Sometimes I miss this game...
Fuck yeah love this game. I ascended twice before quitting a long while back. As pastamancer first, and then disco bandit.
I had a character pre NS-13 (was that the name?) who had ascended once, but alas, I never bought anything. So he's loong gone.
Seal Clubber, holy fuck. I'll take a look in case I get in the mood to play another RPG
Playing it right now, it's pretty funny.
I'm staying at my clan until you get some more things in there, I really need those +100% everything buffs.
[QUOTE=NotAName;34980370]I'm staying at my clan until you get some more things in there, I really need those +100% everything buffs.[/QUOTE] Yea I just started it when I started this thread.
-snip- problem fixed.
I remember seeing this when I was [B]realllyyyy[/B] young. I didn't sign up at the time because it required an email and I didn't have one :v:
Oh boy I remember this game, most fun ever
I love this game. I have a character with two ascensions. Have played in a while, though.
I remember this game.
Wait, this is a real game? I thought it was a joke when I first saw it a long time ago.
[QUOTE=johnlukeg;34985578]Wait, this is a real game? I thought it was a joke when I first saw it a long time ago.[/QUOTE] It certainly is a real game, and very fun one at that
I applied to the clan as Fabled One. Haven't played in bloody ages. [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] I have a bunch of event stuff from a few years ago, :v: [editline]4th March 2012[/editline] my account is four years old oh my god
Account Created: November 23, 2006 Wow :v:
I always saw this on ads like 5 years ago. I never really tried it.
It's been years since I've logged on. Thirty ascensions (all hardcore), full brimstone, full plexiglass, one tome (snowcones), one grimore (party favors), an ascension familiar (llama), and 311 floors down on my second telescope run. Damn, this brings back memories.
I played this game ages ago, but never really got very far in it. I don't even remember my account, but I made a new one and am now a level 5 sauceror.
This game used to be so awesome, but once I beat the main quests, there wasn't much to do.
[QUOTE=futuramaguy4;34990457]This game used to be so awesome, but once I beat the main quests, there wasn't much to do.[/QUOTE] Ascend, do them again with an added challenge, ascend, repeat x100
Yumyum actually got me into this game a couple days ago, really liking it so far. Also joined the facepunch clan.

The top of the game window keeps getting cut off, preventing me from clicking my inventory and things. I'm using Chrome, is there a fix for this other than just using a different browser?
