I’ve been piddling around Kingdom of Loathing (KoL) for awhile now. It doesn’t fill the void created when I left World of Warcraft, Dark Ages of Camelot or Everquest, but it does have benefits:

- It’s free
- It’s browser-based
- There isn’t much downtime (usually around 30 mins at 9:30p or 10:30p, depending on daylight savings)
- It can take as much time, or as little time as I have to put into it at any given moment

I have two characters — one hardcore and one softcore. My current KoL Hardcore skillset:

Empathy of the Newt
Double-Fisted Skull Smashing
Pastamastery
Advanced Saucecrafting
Amphibian Sympathy
Ambidextrous Funkslinging
Summon Snowcone
Summon Hilarious Objects

I’m currently doing a seal clubber run. Here are my skill goals over my next few hardcore runs:

Seal Clubber - Eye Of The Stoat
Seal Clubber - Lunging Thrust-Smack
Pastamancer - Leash of Linguini

My order is a bit messed up because I thought I already had the familiar boosting skills. I think I’ll probably use the LTS-Synergy skillset, but I’m still undecided. Since I don’t spend too much time playing, it seems like a good option.

If you haven’t tried KoL, and you’re looking for something new, it is worth a shot. Let me know what you think!
