Hey there….. So, years ago I was pretty heavy into KoL and then I had a sabbatical that lasted longer than intended which ended up with my character being sent to data heaven. I got back into the game about 7 months ago and have been keeping up with it like I used to. But, I found this link through searching Kol stuff on google. I was wondering if you’d like to be contacts on Kol?

It’d be groovy. Granted you most likely have way cooler stuff than me, I’d be down to do trades if I have anything you want.

Haha @ above.
Martingale is the way to lose. The real way to get ahead is to give Jick money.

I used to love this game, but it’s too competitive for my tastes. MMO’s arn’t for me, I learned that a few years ago.

Great game, just way too dang competitive and tedious! Unless you spend hours doing Martindale or whatever, you will not be anything above mediocre.

Matty… I’m TheGameLlama on KoL, of course! And any free booze would be appreciated, although I never drink in real life. Go figure.

I’ve been on Loathing for many years now, what’s your character’s handle Nick? I’ll dump a bunch of high end food and booze on you. That should bump your adventure count up a bit

The reason they limit you is to keep you on a level playing field with other players. Rather than just automate their characters to adventure in Meat rich areas, players have to optimise their charater to farm, or for combat.

One thing you might have not picked up on, only having started this week, is that CRYS-ROCK is part of a global event going on around the Kingdom at the momemnt, set up by the dev team. Part of the reason I still play this game is because the devs continue to expand the content, refine older areas, set up world events (just wait until KoL Xmas, or “Crimbo” as they call it) and they care about what their fan base think. Kind of unique from an MMO, even a text-based browser one.

This game looks like my any one of my notebooks from high school.
