Realm Of The Mad God: I just spent a hour shooting Hobbits.

Anyone know what this is? I just stumbled apon the link, and it's addictive. Hypotheticly, you could reach the highest level in the game in half a hour. Then again, you better watch yourself, because when you die, it's grade-A permanent. Not the deepest game, is probably not coughing up cash for it, but it's a killer timewaster.

It's a pretty good game, I play it often myself. Once I can be bothered to get the fame I planned to make a GitP/Ponythread guild-thingy.

I'm a fan of the necromancer class personally.

I play this all the time, good if you just have a short 30 min gaming stint before having to do something.

I'm a huge fan of the bow and staff wielding classes because of the range (especially necromancers and archers) but I'm attempting to at least get every class to 20 once.

Never gotten terribly far after hitting 20, a couple stat potions at best before I get overwhelmed or make a dumb move.

Just started it. How do you pick your class though. It started me as a wizard, which is fine, but then said I unlocked a new class. How do I use that class?

You only have wizard initially, when you unlock a class if you die then you can choose. The first four classes are gotten by getting the new one to level 5. After, there are I think 9 other classes you can unlock by getting X class(es) to 20.

I play it through steam (though since I linked accounts I could go browser based) so anyone feel free to add me to play. Steam ID is afro1109

I hate Dark Elves. I hate them with a fiery passion. Not just because there stupidly near the area everyone wants to be, but they hang around Lizard Gods.

On another note, anyone seeing Werewolves? There supposed to be in deserts, but I have never seen one.

super dark33 · 08-26-2012, 05:07 AM

This game is cool. i really like the music.

Ill wait untill my bro's lvl 20 warrior will die and ill try the paladin thing.

I've seen them around before, although I find their presence is in the same camp as Sumos. Sometimes you find them everywhere and other times you can't find them at all.

Pokonic · 08-29-2012, 06:11 PM

On another note, I just relised just how hard it is to get into a dungeon that's not filled with spiders or pirates. Honestly, I find it odd that it is easier to survive in the server-wide castle teliport thingi then go into the godlands and wait for something large to die and leave behind a portal. Admitly, the fact that a good half of the game comes after the low level cap is not surprising, but it's still rather jarring.

On another note, I got a Ring of the Pyramids on a Priest.

Nepenthe · 09-01-2012, 12:31 AM

I started this today. Played the first three classes (unlocked Rogue but haven't tried it yet.) I don't get how fame is calculated though. My Wizard died in the server teleport thingy at level 6 and got 26 fame. Then I slogged through 9 levels as a Priest and only got 8 fame. Is what kills you important?

You get a fame bonus on your first char, so basically the 26 is the "odd" number.

Normally you should expect your fame to be around 1 per level until you reach level 20, then you stop leveling and start killing gods so you can start picking up some real fame.

Nepenthe · 09-01-2012, 07:58 PM

Ah, thank you. My first Archer is at 11 now, and I'm hoping to have a good run with him. Some random guy gave me really nice armor when I had just started the character. People in this game are so nice!

Zeful · 09-01-2012, 11:49 PM

I've played it a couple of times, but could never really get into it. The game is essentially "Grind, Grind, Grind." until 20 and then "grind, grind, grind" for the rest of the game. Not to terribly much of interest outside of the grind.

Sipex · 09-04-2012, 03:12 PM

Finally got my knight to level 20, now I have all the classes unlocked. Top it off, I've got some nice loot in my vault for the next couple of characters.

Yeah, the game is pretty one dimensional, but the unique challenge and the short time it takes to get from 1-20 (approx 1-2 hours) keeps it interesting for me.

Madara · 09-05-2012, 08:24 PM

So have any of you discovered "Trains"

Because of how XP is handed to any in the area, large groups just plow through gods. You can gain your first 6 levels in a minute or two. But warning: Stay in the middle of the pack, and know the escape hotkey. Unless the train has at least 10, its dangerous.

But yeah, it'd be cool to have a guild. We could theoreticly have meet-ups

Do this all the time, really useful for looting items that would be crap at 20 but make you a god at low levels if you decide to play normal.

What do you mean by normal? Also, I have noted that apparently priests are the best class.

Oh slogging through the grind instead of riding the fast track.

Ah. I switch between the two at level 10. I find that that level gives me enough hp to survive trains.

Pokonic · 09-06-2012, 04:51 PM

I just go through a small towns worth of elves, level up to around three, and head to the Godlands for sweet, sweet experiance and hopefuly grab a level 7 item. The, go into the mid-tier areas and skip around and slaughter things.

Madara · 09-06-2012, 05:53 PM

I started a priest. I've been getting no drops, or drops for other classes. I still have a T3 tome....

at level 20, despite my T8 wand.

Apperently, most of the good stuff comes from surviving the dungeons and hopefuly snagging the boss's uber drops before ~~the other greedy buggers~~ your allies get them.

Telok · 09-06-2012, 11:17 PM

It's a cute little game, almost no depth but rather pleasant for that.

The name Telok was already taken so I'm on under Spavin.

Indeed, which is why you adventure with other classes, because then you can get the stuff you need. Or you find nice people you trust to adventure with.

I'm on the Midwest 2 server

Oh yeah, I remember this game. I got into it around a year ago, got pretty powerful, and then quit for some reason. Might get back into it sometime if a guild of Playgrounders is created.
Also, Necromancer is the best class, but Priest is a close second.

Depends on your goal. Necromancer is hard, and neither of them do enough damage to get the good drops, but I suppose that balances the healing.

AgentofOdd · 09-09-2012, 06:12 PM

Ah RotMG, I started playing it when another thread here recommended it. Mostly stopped playing now because I feel I've done almost everything that's available in the game, but I do log in every once in awhile to do some bullet hell gaming. Currently I've a 6/8 Mystic that's being ignored because he lost his amulet and two unpotted characters that die for fame.

Hmm? The Necromancer fights just as well as the wizard. I mean sure their special doesn't do as much damage, but specials deal only a small fraction of the damage needed to kill things. Now priests on the other hand... I do love playing them, but gods, you're not getting any drops unless you solo.

Yeah, priests are an interestingly contradictory mix of being one of the most useful "team" classes and practically having to avoid large groups to get drops. I've found that the Crystal Wand's piercing can help your drop chances, especially at stuff like Cube Gods and Skull Shrines that are surrounded by minions.

Madara · 09-09-2012, 09:11 PM

I really feel like we ought to make a guild for Gtip.

Can I be a Sorcerer? I've been working my way to that class for quite some time.

And I should have it when someone gets enough fame to start a guild.

Like I said in at the start of the thread, once I can be bothered to get the last bit I need, I plan to make one. I'm almost there, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
