Kingdom of Loathing

Everybody knows that World of Warcraft, "WoW", is the massive online game where children pretend to be powerful monsters and work as a team to destroy evil things. Well there has been developed a pun to WoW.

Whereas WoW is a very visual and audio related game. Where if WoW video shut down, no one would play. Kingdom of Loathing is the anti-WoW to the world. It is a text based game where players read text and see small pictures and interact with other players around the world. It is a plain game and a journey of sorts all in the same bundle. Many players get online everyday to use their adventures to see new monsters and explore branching dungeons. The main picture/character for KoL is a simple stick man with a martini glass and a sword.

KoL is not only the parody to WoW, it is the parody and pun to every popular subject matter in the world. Every adventure has a witty quip that relates to some real world matter. It plays on anything from movies to politics.

The Anti-WoW has arrived, and it shall be called KoL.
