A mere level 40, and just about to enter Act V.

I am a killing machine, and what do they want me to do? “Deliver this bandage.”

Too bad about those four sick Beef Giants who got in my way…

Beef Giant - it’s what’s for dinner!

They are, in a sort of roundabout way. If you go to the high scores page and hit the “next 10” button, the URL it gives you will look something like this:

[http://progressquest.com/hi.php?min=20536&max=10](http://progressquest.com/hi.php?min=20536&max=10)

See the part that says “min=20536”? Just change that number to wherever you want the listing to start. Right now, the character ranked 5000th is level 54.

Oh, and I’m at level 37, #20517. Lost some ground yesterday when another program made my computer hang. It corrupted my save game file, but fortunately I had made a backup. I lost about 4 or 5 hours of progress, but at least I was able to recover my character. Let this be a wakeup call to everyone: back up your save game file!

I don’t know if you know this, but you can start a game online, then continue playing while offline. I’m leaving my game running 24/7 too, but I’ve got a dial-up connection and it’s not practical to stay online 24/7. I just hit Ctrl-B to update my ranking whenever I get back online.

Oh, and I also believe the rankings only go by level. I’ve noticed that when I’m offline, the only time the game tries to go online itself is when you level up.

Also, I forgot to mention my character is Jet Jaguar, Battle-Finch Hunter Strangler.

I am currently ranked 22654 and at level 34, act III

Some my favorite quests so far are:

Seek the Ostenatious Arrow  
Seek the Grandious Gemstone  
Seek the filagrieed Tome

My least favorite quests are

Fetch me a bandaid  
Fetching/delivering coffins  
Anything having to do with an anvils. I swear on the Reverential Amethyst that if I have to fetch/deliver/seek one more fucking anvil…

I am quite proud of my Holy Batpole level IV spell and I think The Eye of the Troglodyte spell is pretty nifty if you can pull it off but I don’t think I’m ever going to get used to all those Porn Elementals.

My god, it’s hypnotic watching those bars crawl across the screen. And the goodies you accumulate. And the monsters you kill–it’s so effortless.

I’m going back to watch it some more.

Level 53, Low 7000’s, but I don’t think I have a chance in hell of catching **Grimmy**.

Got a special on Eagle Scout Merit Badges right now… I just executed a nest of 9 Demonic Eagle Scouts…

It’s not supposed to. It’s a joke, a parody, a satire of MMORPGs and the kinds of bhaviors that MMORPG addicts exhibit. The message boards at [www.Progressquest.com](http://www.Progressquest.com) are a scream, replete with discussions of the economics of ProgressQuest (how _does_ the shopkeeper maintain the market…? There are 60,000+ adventurers, each haulling mountains of obscure booty back to the shop, yet he always seems to have cash on hand, and just the nifty studded plasma whateveryouneed), flaming of newbies, “long-standing” fueds, and tips-n-hints.

It’s a hoot!

Level 51 and under 10,000 in rank! Yes!

(I could be a lot higher, but I have a tempermental computer that crashes a lot, and there have been times when I forgot to restart PQ when I re-booted. I’ve lost well over 24 hours this way.)

The Crystalline Sceptre of Despair  
and Rubber Golem Balls

I have Slime Finger IX

Gaze Upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Currently, I’m up to level 49, Act VII. Ranked 12087 in the standings.

I now believe the standings are determined by level and which Act you are working on. I’ve seen the program try to go online when you advance to the next act, as well as level up.

This is pc is slow. I started the char LAST WEEK.

Anyone else notice that XP is really nickel-and-dime stuff? None of the beasts seems to give more than 12 XP, and that’s in the lower levels. No wonder is takes so blasted long to lvl.
