why, Progress Quest is all the fun of watching Disk Defragmenter run, with half the interactivity! even better, it’s free and the download is miniscule!
with a continuous online world and over 300 possible character class combinations of such varying types as the Demi-Canadian and the Tongueblade, Progress Quest is amazingly huge and variable. best of all, if you want you can just “fire and forget”, and keep playing even while you do almost any other thing on your computer other than turning it off!
with over 50000 players on at any given moment and up-to-the-minute rankings and statistics, there’s no reason not to download a copy today!
if you want, find me in the rankings. i am BOLLOCKS!, a +38’th level Will o’ the Wisp runeloremaster, around 15,900’th in the rankings overall.

I’m only level 2 but I successfully completed the “deliver this dirtclod” quest and the “fetch me a bunny” quest, but my current quest “deliver this toothpick” is proving harder than expected. Any tips? Currently my strategy is checking email while chatting in #fathom and browsing livejournal.
none of you have mentioned what characters you chose! come on, out with it!
oh, and for the power leveler… there’s an external app you can get to run PQ as a systray button. i don’t remember where’ it’s from, but it’s mentioned on the main site somwhere.
Hey, have any of you guys had a look at the forums over there? I mean they have guilds and everything… is there something going on with this game that I haven’t figured out yet, or are there just a lot of really pathetic people arguing over who’s better at a ‘game’ with absolutely no skill involved?
They’re playing along with the purpose of the game itself - it’s a parody of the entire MMORPG thing, and they’re parodying the standard discussions, etc. Also, I get the feeling they enjoy fooling newbies into thinking there’s more to the game than they realize.
I just got done with the “Seek the Astral Tiara” quest and am doing the “Seek the Ostentatious Hymnal” one.
I killed a frost giant and now have in my inventory a frost giant snowman. Hehe.
I also have a brontosaurus brean, purple worm dung, fire giant cigarettes, and the Grandiose Corset of Danger.
My current spell list includes Cone of Annoyance VII, Eye of the Troglodyte IV, Angioplasty II, Nestor’s Bright Idea V, Spectral Oyster, Animate Nightstand II and Holy Batpole VIII
