Yeah Rumble On caught me at the Arrrboretum, and disturbed me a bit. I think it's the first time an adventure's been animated.

What's your account name? I'll check for it.

And clan, if you have one? Or your store? If I can't find the name I'll see if those things are gone.

Actually, I got Rumble On yesterday. There's speculation it's the Heartbreak Hotel opening or the Nemesis quest returning.
Plotline y/n?

Nemesis Quest seems more likely; word has it some of the images from the nemesis quest changed according to peoples who haven't ascended since NS13.

I've read the KOLwiki discussion page, the end battle dialogue seems to have changed as well.

Oh hey, new announcement just a moment ago.

July 23 - The Scientists of Loathing wish to assure you that the current elevated level of airborne Mystical pollutants and the frequent aftershocks from the seismic events of the last few days are nothing at all to worry about.

Everybody knows that the Scientific society of Loathing is a whole load of bullcrap. The same happened with the asteroid that hit the moon.

Edit: TIME TO RAWK
As in fighting a new monster called Rock Snake.

Rock Snake is lame. What's also lame is randomly getting teleported sometimes WITHOUT TELEPORTITIS.

Levelling familiars for the last part of the Tower sux *tear

(Hardcore) Perm Empathy, Sympathy, and Leash of Linguini. Then get Pet buffing spray from the Knob Lab Store.

What? Teleporting? Explain yourself!

Fair enough!

Pet Buffing Spray is still an option. That and familiar equipment should let you get away with only ten pounds. Lemme see if there is anything else.

Edit: Of the things you could theoretically get there are: the Irradiated Pet Snacks (+10) from the second floor of the menagerie, the Bar Whip (+2) from a bar skin and a whip kit, and the Magic Whistle (+1) from the acid blob in the Dungeons of Doom. The pet snacks are a semi-rare, so it may be more a pain than they are worth to get.

Also this may help you train more quickly: http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/index.php/The_Cake-Shaped_Arena

Oh hey a KoL thread and I'm not posting in it. What.

KennyMan666, #613940. Currently level 23, Sauceror, in aftercore. I really should get back to my regularly scheduled ascending (53 ascensions so far) but now I just need one more cursed pirate item so fffffffffff.

If any of you people are clanless, Random Gamers and Candy which I became the leader of when our former leader and clan creator went to college and got a girlfriend would be glad to take you in. It's a small clan, which has the perk of that the latest Hobopolis dive netted me no fewer than seven pieces of loot.

I'm one of those Hardcore for life people, and I even take it a step further with always going Teetotaler. Because no-path is for girls, sissies and men who just had their ears ripped off.

The whole rumbling thing apparently was mystical. Several spell MP costs have been lowered (Wave is now a 21-MP spell, Geyser is 36), and damage might have been increased.

Saw a guy on the KoL forums with a Cirno avatar a while ago. Sent him a 9-ball ingame because I could not resist.

THERE NOW I HAVE POSTED IN THIS THREAD ENOUGH FOR THE TIME I HAVE MISSED IT. ...what do you mean, the thread has only been around for two days?
Fly & High!!

BALLS BALLS BALLS.
Just when I decide to take a Moxie ascension. Heh, at least the sand gives +5 Moxie. Not all is lost.

Okay then. I think it has to do with the current plot, because a couple times I got randomly warped to another location while adventuring. For instance, I was fighting in the Sleazy Back Alley once (I think, I can't remember), and then I suddenly end up fighting a Lihc in the Misspelled Cemetary.

I just started playing and it's surprisingly fun for a browser game. Now that I don't have anymore Adventures is there other stuff to do? And when will I get more adventures? I'm a lvl 3 Turtle Tamer.

You get 40 adventures on Rollover (IE: Dialy) and you can eat food and drink some booze to get more.
Also, post your player ID!

Chat, Clan Dungeons (sorta), PvP (kinda), and buying and selling things in the mall.

In the traditionally Everquest/WoWz sense, no. KoL was made with the idea of it being single player in spirit, which interaction being a bonus but unnecessary. When you start ascending, you'll be rewarded for shunning interaction.

Garlyle (#1253199) here.  Level 30 Disco Bandit, counting in at 28 tattoos, 37 familiars, and 26 trophies (Including the Big Boat, Phileas Foggy, Duke of Disco, all Elemental trophies (When last I checked), and Black Hole Terrarium.  I grinded the crap out of some of this stuff @_@

Apparently had my two year Anniversary in February... and haven't been on since then.  I think I was meaning to ascend once upon a time (And FINALLY complete an NS-13 run - this one started on the eve of NS13), but... well...
Turns Played (total):   24,972
Days Played (total):   891
Turns Played (this run):   19,366
Days Played (this run):   769

...Oww.  So much for that plan XD

...brb.  Ascending (maybe?).  HARDCORE RUN GO
