Re: First Impressions
I can't really tell, is it an MMorpg or other? Because the IMing gives off to MMOrpg, but the extensively long turns sound closer to something like warhammer. Maybe since on of the creators scans these posts, they can tell me.(By the way, I am not bashing that. If I made webcomic and came in contact with a thread solely devoted to impressions of the webcomic, I would watch it like a hawk:"Well what does he mean by that? Well what does that mean? Maybe I shoud go under an assumed name and defend my comic. Childish artwork? I Will Find Him And Beat Him Till His Eyes Bleed!"
Of course that's probably why I shouldn't start a webcomic.

Re: First Impressions
I'm on the fence. Firstly, I just don't "get it" -- it clearly refers to some game or other, but I have no idea what. I also think the dialog and terminology is a little too "cutesy". On the other hand, the artwork is very nice. I'll give it a while longer to let it develop, but OotS had me hooked in less than 5 strips, and this one has me going "huh?" still through 9.

Re: First Impressions
Not quite sure why people seem to think it's based on any pre-existing game. I see influences from a lot of stuff, but it's definately not based on a game the same way that OOTS is based on a game.
You've got me intrigued, Erfworld. Keep it up."Rest, my sweet prince, for once you awake there will be no respite for your noble bones. Only bloody war and the iron claws of fate..."

Re: First Impressions
OK, I'm going to close this poll. Thanks for everyone's first impressions, but with 10 strips in the can, I htink everyone who's interested has already seen it and commented.
