Progress Quest “Fire and Forget” RPG
This is an amusing spoof of all those MMORPGs that have degenerated into little more than the constant need to level up and to farm gold. It eliminates all of that tedious work and lets your character level up without you having to expend valuable free time.
Progress Quest is a next generation computer role-playing game. Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest’s very familiar gameplay. Progress Quest follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG’s.
This section of the FAQ cracked me up:
Q: I’ve been running PQ for years now, and my character is eighty-somethingth level, and now the game crashes or I’ve been thrown into the Hall of Infamy or some other random badness is going on. What can I do?
A: You are witnessing a form of senility and/or corruption and/or loss of bladder control brought on by the decrepit age of so ancient a character. (Equivalently, this is a limitation of the program which has no remedy.) It’s time to make way for a new generation of adventurers!
