Title: ForumWarz

ForumWarz (http://forumwarz.com/) is a browser-based RPG with probably the best concept ever. Your goal is to PWN forums wiping them from the face of the internet while gaining a reputation over the web and increasing your E-peen. How do you do this you ask? Easy! Try trolling, hacking, whining, flirting, and/or just being completely retarded. There's plenty of types of forums you can wreak havoc on and missions to accomplish. Several colorful characters you can meet via sTalk. (the in-game IM system) There's plenty of items to help with this goal too. Computers (including a graphing calculator xP), hardware, glasses, spiders, and all sorts of files. Then... there's junk. Selling junk online is the best way to make money. How do you get junk? Get famous! Your fans will send you all sorts of junk everyday. Yes, you get fans. Anyway, I'm rambling at this point...

It has a great interface and atmosphere that make you feel like you're actually just surfing the web and screwing with people. Also, there's systems set-up to where the community can create new items, forums, and such to be voted on whether they're included in the game. This, of course, means that stereotypes, word play, and memes can be found everywhere. Seriously, people. Try it. One thing to note though, this is not a game you can sit down and spend several hours playing everyday. You can only visit forums a certain amount of times per day which I think is great because it keeps me coming back everyday for more and has me unable to get addicted enough to lose anymore sleep.

So, what are you waiting for? Join in the fun. =)

(Just a note: If enough people start playing, I'll make a Klan for Omnimaga.)

is it bound on only one computer? Like, does it save cookies or something on the computer I registered to and I can't play my account on another computer?

Edit: NVM. I registered, under the name of jsj795.

Since when I browsed the site, it told me I absolutely needed Firefox or Safari, I will not play this game.

Yeah they claim some people managed to get it to work in Opera, but I can't even access the sign up page from it...

I wonder why some sites/companies refuse to allow all popular browsers. I would understand not allowing IE8 (except latest version) but Opera...

Makes sense for a community of programmers to want to use code to wreak havoc. =)

Thought: I was thinking that the Omnimaga Klan should be called "Coders of Tomorrow".

You can't. Like I said, you can only play a little bit per day. Unless you pay, you get 4 forum visits a day so it really doesn't take much time. =P

Also, LOL @ trev
Glad to see someone who's not a Hacker. Kinda wondering what these other classes play like myself.
Title: Re: ForumWarz
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on March 13, 2010, 10:44:12 pm
Oh ok x.x, I guess it's a good thing in some ways. On the old forums, we lost Spellshaper over Silkroad Online x.x

I also remember the WoW craze of 2005: like half of MaxCoderz new members started playing WoW and vanished or slowly became less and less active x.x

:P yeah I thought about going Hacker, but then I was like "meh, too easy", so I decided to try out the Emo, and it's been pretty good so far. Im up to level 3 right now, but I have to wait another 8 hours to restore my # of forum visits.

Funny thing is, now everyone (even Blizzard) is saying that WoW is dying right now. The new expansion will probably fix that for awhile though.

Heard that Emos get stronger as their ego (HP) goes down. Seems like a more fun class to play with than some of the others.
Congratz on the levels.
I just hit level 4 today myself. (almost 5) Also, the rollover of forum visits are the exact same time for everyone.
I'd give a list of that time for each timezone, but we have to move the clock forward an hour tonight so it'd be confusing.

Ah gotcha. Well any who, I have to wait a while, but hopefully i can get to level 4 tomorrow.

I'm gonna hate always being one or two levels behind everyone else.

Then again, I'm probably not gonna play this for more than a week or two anyway so I better just have fun with it while I still find it interesting, right?

xD My thoughts exactly. It's great for making me feel good about myself while I wait for FFXIII or Resonance of Fate to get here from Gamefly. (Also, looking forward to Aika Online's Open Beta.)

But I hope you have fun.

While noticeably inferior to the power of a desktop or laptop, the graphing calculator sports not only portability but subtlety – one can play Space Invaders during algebra and not get caught.

The description was great and I had to share ^^
