Progress Quest
Progress Quest is a "Zero-Player" game, that is a parody of many popular MMORPGs, mainly Everquest. Once you load the game and roll your character with many amazing races & classes to choose from (YOU TOO CAN BE A DOUBLE WOOKIE ROBOT MONK!!!, etc) the game plays itself for you. You will slay monsters, get items, and all that.
The game uses little to no resources, and as such, you can "play" it while you do ANYTHING on your PC. Awesome!
You can make an account on www.progressquest.com and join the GW guild I just made by hitting CTRL+G then typing From Russia With Foget into the box.
I would like to ask you all to roll your characters on the Pemptus realm for this Guild, since it is the newest realm and there is less spawn campers and what not.. *wink wink*
Here is what the game looks like:

Check out those hardcore 3D graphics!!!
Anyways, thought that this would be cool. I always got a kick out of Progress Quest, it is to date probably the "least shittiest MMORPG you will never play".

Progress Quest Website: www.progressquest.com (make account, make sure to choose Multiplayer and Pemptus once in-game)
GamingW Guild "From Russia With Foget [GW]" page: http://www.progressquest.com/guild.php?id=12750
If enough people join, it'll be awesome!
Feel free to comment, discuss min/maxing your character builds etc.

This was just the little kick I needed to finally turn my Level 60 Demicanadian Runeloremaster character back on.
Reading the classes and races never fails to remind me of chef.

What a horrible combination, everyone knows the Demicanadian racial doesn't pair well with magic-user classes.
You should of went Demicanadian Slow Poisoner or Ur Paladin.

True, but Big Sister C and Magnetic Orb CXXXIV are just so great at killing foetal Yeenoghus, and those yeenoghu flails sell for a ton!
-
Guys, this was quite possibly the best MMORPG I ever playered, EVER.
-
By the way I joined your From Russia With Foget guild. My character's name is Beat Boxer.
We should tackle some bosses when you hit level 57 DarkNecrid!

Yeah, well, I have a Crystalized Sword +47.
And I keep having to fetch this damn b*tch a towel.

Wow, this is awesome, in a really laid back, passive way. I've joined the guild, and I'm sure you guys should know my name upon seeing it.

wow, haven't seen this game in years
waste of space
-
It's really kind of sad to see you lot bickering over this.
-
I can't register :(
It keeps saying they sent a mail with the validation code, but I don't get anything.
Well, I'll try again later.
-
i feel like this topic was posted a long time ago since i have this and definitely found it because of GW
maybe even by DarkNecrid shrug
edit: yeah haha (http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=47850)

The game came out in 2002, and I know someone posted it on GW at some point. As for who posted it, I have no idea.
This is something that's really only funny the first time you see it... :fogetnah:
-

You just don't get it.
[size]it's part of the joke, since its a parody of MMORPGs, Progress Quest players tend to parody how the average MMORPG person acts.[/size]

Okay, playing it now. Joining the Guild. (my name is Krezjhnef and I'm an Enchanted Motorcycle Birdrider).
EDIT: Damn those undernourished Men-O-War. Keep ganging up on me.
-
I've played two enchanted motorcycles to well past level 60 and lost my saves for both of them. Until they implement remote saving I'm not bothering again.
-
Remote saving? And how do you lose your saves... how does it even save? Automatically?
-
how does it even save?
Whenever you quit it automatically saves a file (.pq I believe) in the same folder the .exe is in
-
Oh my god, there's Boy Scout enemies in here.

I am MEGABOXCARDESTROYER, a Double Hobbit Fighter/Botanist.
-
Remote saving?
As in, saving my character on the server.

What
That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard...
(that would require these actually being servers)
EDIT: I am noticing that I am getting an assload of spells.

yeah, wanting to play on more than one computer is completely dumb

Why not... I've played IDLE RPG.....

I am a Double Wookiee Runeloremaster.

Who knew that you'd have to slay 51 saytrys, 21 centaurs, and about 100 kobalds just to find a damn bunny rabbit.
Honestly.
edit: woot just learned Animate Nightstand I
-

well... this isn't really an online game, or anything. so yeah like any other offline game you have local save files.
i dont see what the big deal is there.
-
I'm having the same problem as Ralph (not getting the validation key). I already waited two days, what should I do guys, I'm freaking out.
EDIT: Nm, I don't even need to make an account to make a character.
EDIT2: Broknots the Inventor of Music, the Skraeling Fighter/Organist, is ready for battle.
-
I let my Land Squid Voodoo Princess go nuts at work today on my laptop, got him/her/it up to level 12 after killing many boy scouts, girl scouts, and bacon elementals. I also collected quite a few gorgon testicles and kobold penises.
This "game" is fun to watch.

You know I really think 7 is a pretty good rating for "meh." I mean a grade of C is about the average, and as far as I know the term "meh" applies to distinctly average things. So with a grading of 7/10, something that is pretty average overall I think "meh" is a perfectly good term to use.
-
are you saying this "game" is "meh"...

I think you're at the wrong topic.

How does Multiplayer in this game work? Given that it plays itself, how do created characters by different people interact with each other?

I'm 37. I've left it running for the last 3 daysish
-
I had 3000 orgasms when I saw the graphics. It's like gaming for lazy people :p
-
I'm level 11. I should let this thing work more.
PS: Two consecutive quests for me were "Deliver this newspaper" and "Fetch me a newspaper".

I mean within the technical aspects of the game, what's the difference between Multiplayer and Single player?

one has rankings online the other doesn't.

My Demicanadian Puma Burglar is Exterminating the Goblins. Also, he has an Arcane Tome of Submission, whatever the hell that is.
-
I have always hated this type of game, and never understood why people like them. I guess I will be sticking out of this one.

My Slime Finger IX totally pwns.

I don't even know Slime Finger. :(
-
Slime finger is worthless even at level DCCCXXIX, Spectral Miasma however takes a huge power increase at level CCXXXII and is down right ridiculous at level DLVI(i got it at DCII right now). Also guys, make sure you keep Nester's Bright Idea(mine is at CDLXIX) up at all times! A may not seem like much at first, but it near essential later on.

I hope this is a joke or I've seriously been NOT PLAYING THIS GAME WRONG

I just got Roger's Grand Illusion I, a spell I've never even heard of before !_!
edit: ursine armor seems to suck

how can you tell this shit. seriously are these jokes that i don't get or what.
also i have rogers grand illusion xvi so ;)
-
I have Roger's Grand Illusion LXVI so :fogetbackflip:
If you happen to know it, Braingate (mine is level CII) is pretty helpful on metal monsters.

[size]Part of the joke of Progress Quest is that your character "grinds" for a bunch of stuff that in the end means nothing (ie: spells/equipment/etc all do nothing) just like you do in a real MMORPG, therefore the players joke about what the spells/equipment/etc would actually do were this a real MMORPG.[/size]

Yeah, like...all 5 of them.

CCXIV :fogetnaughty:
Btw if you have the Big Sister(DI) summon, try casting spells on it(and i don't mean just buffs) it can provide some interesting results(Holy Batpole + Big Sister = lol).
-
Cone of Paste and Big Sister XXI can provide some.. uh.. entertainment.
I'm surprised it slipped past the censors.
-
I just killed a land squid puma burglar and my class is puma burglar, the item it gave was Magnificent Hymnal of Foreboding... hmm
-
This is not a game.. i'm panda man bastard lunatic..
-
Guys, should I level up my Big Sister [II] or my Tumor (Benign) as a preperation for the Titan Squirrel? I know he's weak against both of them, but I don't know which one will be better.

Tumor (Malign) imo.
-
Don't you mean Malignant? If he's only just at the Titan Squirrel it's possible he hasn't done the quest to get Tumor (Malignant) yet, as it's pretty far away from the main story areas of Act III.
edit: oh wow im the second highest in the guild.. this reminds me of wow lol
-
omg, my character lost his progress for the past couple hours. :fogetsad:
fucking server rollbacks
-
I'm finding it really hard to level up Ursine Armor, and I know I'll need it for the Penguin Dragon.
