Yeah, KoL isn't for everyone. A lot of the humor is based off of references, or just straight puns. And while the puns are generally sickeningly horrible, the references are usually good. The only thing that redeem's the puns in my opinion is that the developers do the puns in such a manner

Well I won't disagree with you on the quality of the humour, I certainly had a good few laughs while playing, --- everything from references like the moon key, the sun key and the Richard Starkey (lol!), And the wonders of the limeric dungeon. One day when you meet with a giant, who

Kind of. There's some equipment that gives more adventures, though a lot of it is rather tough to get, the most powerful stuff being the time gear, which was made with a one-time item so by now is either exceptionally rare or impossible to find on the market. There's also the counterclockwise

When I played before, people were kind enough to lend me even some slightly good items and amounts of meet, - in fact I found KoL's player base on average to be a fairly nice bunch. Generally though, I'd much prefer advice over powerful items, sinse I do like the discovery of such things

The problem with discovering powerful items and such on your own is that there really aren't any in the plot itself, all the ones worth having are either obtained as items of the month, ultrarares, which aren't just a really rare item drop but have a lot of backing mechanics to ensure they

H, are the Mr. Accesseries really that powerful? I'm not above making a donation if it will increase my enjoyment of the game and make things less frustrating. in fact, I was also rather tempted by the KoL statue set, sinse I have a large collection flat of fantasy and mythological

What I meant by casual play is its supposed to take only a little time per day. There's always been an adventure cap, and I doubt the devs will ever lift it, especially, as much as I absolutely loathe saying it, with the leaderboards and such being implimented. Its possible that if we could

yes, items were indeed clickable with hal, including in stores, I just found it slightly difficult to actually boost stats, sinse there seemed innumerable items with the same stat boosts. Perhaps the Mr. Accessery would help, particularly in fights. As I have exactly zero interest

Yeah, me too, hence why I don't actualy play KoL that often, just when there's nothing else available I haven't played or some new content comes along or, ya know, I'm bored. haha. Given that you like exploration, I'm surprised you didn't give monster breeders a try, its got gigantic maps,

I've had your original E-mail about monster breeder sitting in my in box for several days now. The only reason I haven't begun on the game is I've been pretty taken up with work, a couple of graphical games, and watching a lot of star trek Voyager. I do intend to give it a try though, both as

when I started out, I didn't use any rares at all. And it wasn't too difficult. You do have weak equipment when you first play, but you get better stuff later on. Dark, I really suggest you check out the wiki. anything you'd ever want to know about the game is documented there. - Original

I spend a couple hours per day on the game. I not only adventure, but I also chat and trade. it's rather fun. I can usually get over 200 adventures daily. Anyone can, if you know the right combination of food, drink, and spleen items. - Original Message - From: Shadow Dragon

Its hard, no question. Especailly if you don't feel like spending your 40 adventures per day grinding equipment. When you get up into the later enemies, things start being able to one or 2 shot you, and a lot of the bosses become nearly impossible. I'm determined to complete this hardcore run

I never said you couldn't spend that much time on the game, but that's not the intent of the game, from what the devs have said on various radio shows and forum posts. I can usually get between 150 to 200 adventures per day, the game's not that hard if you're playing in normal or casual mode
