Random Monday : ProgressQuest 6.2

Sunday, October 14th, 2007, 9:40 pmRoys

Tired of grinding just to see your character level up in a RPG? Why not try ProgressQuest instead?

Everything essential for a best-selling RPG game are available in ProgressQuest : from killing foes, looting and selling of items, completing quests, upgrading of equipment and the all-important levelling-up.

Just generate your character, roll virtual dice for the initial stats and you’re ready to go. Fortunately, all the boring and time-wasting activities like killing, looting, bartering and completing pointless quests have been abstracted out so you will only need to sit back and watch your character charging into the killling fields to hack up foes, haul the loot back to the marketplace, upgrade his/her stuff and repeats the damn cycle over and over again.

So what’s the point of ProgressQuest? Frankly, I don’t know either although it’s quite addictive watching your character grow in power from an absolute wimp into a powerhouse with insane stats.


Click here for my stats!

I just run it in the background and occassionally Alt+Tab to see the progress of Miezbad, my level 62 Enchanted Motorcycle Hunter Strangler (whatever that is) while working on other things like writing this stuff. Beats wasting time grinding :)

    This is sick, perverted, mind0-numbing and absolutely brilliant!

    Or as them PQ devs say:

    “Video Games Are Incredibly Stupid!”

    Yep, it is :) I actually toyed with it back in the days when I was a student if I remember correctly.

    I think I have left it running for the past 40+ days or so on my office computer to get the damn level 62 screenshot. Thankfully it’s non-interactive :D

    Still, reading all those silly things happening can be quite time-consuming… :)

    @gnome: Yep, thankfully it’s nonsense and not true D&D fluff that we’re reading, otherwise it’s gonna be more time-consuming :P

    @elderly: little computer people? Intriguing … gotta check it out
