I just discovered this game through Forumwarz (funny, I hear it’s usually the other way around), and I gather that many here are playing it.
I am not looking to start a Forumwarz vs. Kingdom of Loathing argument, and if Evil Trout sees this thread as advertizing for the competition, we’ll just get it closed.
Basically, I just wanted to know if any of you are in a big clan and, most of all, if I could join in order to benefit from the extra rollover adventures and potted meat plants. Thank you. |

There were lots of klans that accept anyone, with meat plants and extra adventures last time I checked. |

I just discovered it today. I have no idea what the game looks like as you progress but right now, it sounds like a pleasant way to waste some time when I’m down pwning here in Forumwarz. |

If you’re just looking for extra rollover adventures, go to the Clan District in town and apply to one of the clans that are on the top there – they’re looking for newbies to join.
My account name there is Nillo (#41028). I’ve been playing it for quite some time and know my way around, so feel free to ask me if you need advice or something. |

The clan I am part of in KoL is quite nice. I’m not quite sure whats in the clan room though, cause I don’t go on there much anyway, but the people are alright usually. And they hold quite a few competitions, and a monthly lottery which I think has been getting quite alot of entries recently. They give away items like Mr A’s and millions of meat to winners.
The clan is called The Pixellated Array. My characters on there are called Eskemo and Vicker. Log in to see images!
edit; I just checked and you get +9 adventures a day. Also by signing up to our clan and completing a short mini quest you get free meat! I think there’s quite a few mini quests to do for meat now, at least 3 anyway. first = 10,000 second= 150,000 Milo edited this message on 08/03/2008 8:15PM |

Used to play… plenty of huge clans who don’t care about you will accept you immediately and you can reap those meager rewards such as extra adventures. Join a soulless corporation today! |

Don’t waste your money on KoL imstead support an online game where the forums aren’t controlled by a bat**** insane senile administrator and the chat by whales masquerading as people. |

That’s basically why I hardly ever play: it’s cool that it’s free, but if you want to be competitive and push the game to the limit, you’ll need to pay. And then you’ll be dwarfed by others who pay more. At that point, the random humor and stick figure art become a lot less funny.
To draw a parallel with FW: imagine DML-type items that are available for 10 BP a piece. That sucks bum. I seriously hope it won’t happen, although we’re kind of heading that way already with paid alts giving such an overwhelming advantage in domination… Still hope there will be some kind of solution for that, even though it is in direct conflict with my in-game interests. |

Wow, KoL is very time-consuming.
Anyway, I made a Disco Bandit, got him to level 5. I applied to KoL Addicts, was immediately accepted and got to benefit from the goodies in the rumpus room. Being in a clan certainly gives you a huge advantage. I also got showered in gifts, which made my play session that much longer since I got tons of bonus adventures from the stuff I was given.
It’s fun so far, but I’m thinking it’ll get tedious, what with the 40+ adventures per day. |

Personally I enjoy both games. I don’t think it makes a lot of sense to judge a game by it’s forums. I hope people who show up here don’t see all the ****ing douchebags and just leave, since that would be damn near as bad as seeing all the tightbumes over there and leaving. Log in to see images!
FW is far more interactive, KoL far more solo player/goal orientated. I don’t see anything wrong with any game out there as long as a person has fun playing it. I very much disagree with the comment that it over rewards those who donate. I have 2 characters, one has donated, but plays hardcore where you don’t have access to the majority of your stuff. The other just farmed it’s way up the food chain and plays softcore/casualcore just as well as I could have if I’d donated hundreds of dollars. Donation is simply a shortcut to better equipment, but there is almost nothing in the game than can’t be earned from scratch.
I’m scullyangel over there as well, holler if you ever have a question or need help. |

No no no, I think you misunderstand me. The games themselves sans any social aspect are complete garbage. And the social aspect is too, but just clarifying I meant the gameplay portion. |

Seriously, there’s no need to be fanboys. I like both games but for very different reasons. In KoL I hardly ever visit the forums or chat, but I play the game itself almost every day. Here at FWZ the game itself sucks bum but the community is awesome. These two complement each other.
Plus you can get any IotM you want if you farm well, play the market et cetera. I didn’t donate anything for several years when I started playing, but I still managed to afford several monthly familiars and a few pieces of equipment that I invested in and sold later for huge profit. There’s even a new ascension type now that offers a totally level playing field, although it takes some effort to unlock it. |
