Progress Quest

I can't even explain this game. It's the perfect game.
It's essentially every good thing about MMOs
--cool gear, good choice of race/class, interesting monsters, a twisting plot, zillions of magic spells, etc etc
without any of the bad things about MMOs
--lag time, bad graphics, losing XP for dying, paying money, developing carpal tunnel syndrome from clicking the same goddamn monster 450 times in a row just so you can get better at clicking on monsters
essentially they strip out all the crap. All that's left is PROGRESS.
This is the sort of game you can play at work.
I've been playing nonstop since last May. My name is Commander Blorp. I'm a level 78 Eel Man Bastard Lunatic.
Other race choices include Demicanadian, Double-Hobbit, and Enchanted Motorcycle
Other class choices include hunter-strangler, tickle-mimic, and robot monk
I reccommend trying out a Talking Pony Battle-Felon.

I am starting a new character.
My name is
Cramus, (pronounced "cramoo")
I am a
Land Squid Robot MonkI'm on the
Spoltog server. and I started a guild called
The Spaglords (just "spaglords" for short). Once you're on, press Ctrl+G and type "Spaglords"
You guys should download the PQ client and join up! I will race you to Level 1075103597
I know what you're asking:
Is this actually a game?
It is, but
only in the loosest sense of the word.
I used to play this all the time but multiple re-installs had made me forget about it. Might re-install it when I get a new computer.
Yes, I know it doesn't do much but this damned thing is over heating just visiting forums let alone running anything :(
check it out - they've got a browser plugin now! http://www.progressquest.com/play/
I'M ALMOST UP TO LEVEL 2
CRAMUS KNOW KNOWS THE "GYP" SPELL
I'm on a quest to deliver a pole but all these rot grubs keep getting in my way. So I'm executing them with my sharp stick, but the guts are getting all over my lace hauberk and pie plate shield.
A passing crested dwarf puma burgler just got a face full of my CONE OF ANNOYANCE spell. Take that, spagwad!
Please note that I haven't even touched this game since I created my character.
So, I'm Phox, Demicanadian Hunter Strangler. Best race/class combination ever invented. :lulz:
I'm Cretgrouk, the demicanadian vermineer.

I'm trix, the boring Will O' the Wisp Mage Illusioner. Mainly because my stats were conducive to it.
1/2 way thru level 4, with some bad ass spells like lvl 2 Cone of Annoyance and lvl 2 Shoelaces.
I also have Good Move, Aqueous Humor, and my favorite, Rabbit Punch!
Hell yes. This game rawks

That's it! You're playing.
thats all?! lol...easiest game evar
Whee! I made it to level 35 while I was off watching Pirates of the Caribbean number whateverthefuckthey'reuptonow. :D
I'm level 6! I successfully exterminated the Eagle Scouts and can cast Level IV Slime Finger!
I've successfully executed a rubber golem, and harvested a rubber golem ball.
I swear.
Looking back at what else happened while I was out watching Suu's neighbors try to set their own testicles on fire, I find I really don't want to know about the "cheese elemental curd," the "black pudding saliva," and I ESPECIALLY don't want to know anything about the "lurker sac" immediately following the "trapper shag."
hrmm im prob gonna quit this in a day or so since i dont get to actually DO anything, its taking up my browser's think time.
i am nearing level 7 tho
I want to remind everybody to hit ctrl+G and join the guild "Spaglords".
I'm currently running 3 characters:
Cramus
At least Im not a Butt Juggler
Caldathoronaxionius Jr
you can see where you are in the global ranking by pressing ctrl+B
you can declare a motto which other people can see by pressing ctrl+M
that's about as interactive as it gets! Your character will go on fantastic and epic adventures and you don't even need to pay attention. I left Cramus running on my work computer over the weekend and he gained like 15 levels.

Doesn't seem to work with the browser version. :( Or maybe just not the Mac browser version.
ahh - looks like the browser version is "single player only" :lol:
Ok, this is almost the greatest game ever. Cuddles the Fish, landsquid, tickle mimic.
Is there a way to review a log of things that happen, or do you just have to be watching?

Mostly, I just catch amusing things when I see it, haven't found a log.

There is a quest log on the right side of the screen, right beneath the "plot development" pane.
Cramus is currently level 49, and is battling 3 comatose platinum dragons with his +30 pronged vorpal culverin.

I think he's looking for a log of each individual battle.
Some of you guys advance really fast. It takes me days to go up a level.
What can I say? I am a highly skilled progress quest player.
It takes dedication and time investment. I log more hours in PQ than in Warcraft, now.
yeah i gave up. too many open browser stuffs
Here's another trick ---
when you create a character, one of your stats will probably be slightly higher than the others. The game considers this your "primary" stat.
When you level up, you gain a point in one of your stats. Odds are, it'll be your primary one.
NONE of the stats matter except Strength. Strength is the only stat that has any bearing on the game whatsoever because it determines how many items you can carry before you have to go back to town and sell everything.
So if STR is your highest stat, it means that you spend more time in the killing fields and less time negotiating for new gear. Not a TON of time, mind you. Up until level 30, you're basically saving like 10 seconds every few minutes. But if you're running the game for weeks at a time, it adds up.
So how do you get a higher STR ?
Steroids.
When making your character, Click Roll like 200 times until you have a 17 or 18 STR

well, when i typed in "progress que" into the google bar, the second recommendation was "progress quest cheat", so i'm guessing someone has solved your problem...
Update: I haven't stopped running Progress Quest since I started this thread. I am now level 73. My highest level spell is "Cone of Paste". I'm on Act XXXVII and am wielding a +62 Pronged Polished Morning Star.
Once a week or so, I click on the progress quest icon in my system tray and feel like I'M GETTING SOMETHING DONE.
