IdleQuest Frequently Asked Questions
What is IdleQuest? IdleQust is a game played by idling in an IRC channel. The longer you idle, the farther you progress into the game. You accumulate items, battle other players, and can be helped and/or hurt by a variety of random events. You are penalized for doing things like talking in the channel, changing your nickname, or leaving IRC. The point is to remain in the channel and do absolutely nothing for as long as possible, hence the name the IdleQuest. How do I get started? You must be in and stay in #IdleQuest (on irc.bitgamer.com or irc.underground-gamer.com) at all times if you wish to play IdleQuest. Assuming you have an IRC client and have joined the channel, you must type: /msg IdleQuest REGISTER <username> <password> <email@address> <class name> . Username and password can be any combination of up to 20 alphanumeric characters. Both are case-sensitive. Your email address is something we have included with IdleQuest to allow players to retrieve their passwords and other such things via email. Your class name should be a short description of your character. It can be anything you like. Example: /msg IdleQuest REGISTER Jake mypass foo@bar.com Drunken College Student OK, I registered, now what? Now you start idling :P The point of the game is to stay in the channel as long as possible without incurring any penalties. Current penalties include talking in the channel, leaving #IdleQuest, or quitting IRC all together. These penalties add time to your clock in varying degrees; for a complete list, check out the game documentation. How do I check my progress? This can be done in one of two ways. First, you may type /msg IdleQuest WHOAMI, and you will see your username, level, class, and current time to level, as well as your itemsum and your membership to a team, if any. However, the better method is visit this website and look up your information here. This site contains a complete listing of pretty much everything that has ever happened to your player, and as such, it is a better resource for monitoring your progress through the Idle RPG. Why don't I have +v in #idlequest? Voice (+v) is only given to players who are level 20 or above. Is there ever a winner/does it ever end? The game has no specified ending, but it we do run IdleQuest in sessions; IdleQuest II is the second session. The original IdleQuest can be found here. How do I create a team? Team creation is currently limited to admins only, although players may petition to have a team created on their behalf. In order to petition for a team, you must be in the top 50 in here and have four other players (for a total of five) who will also join the team. To make a formal petition, PM KrazyA1pha on IRC with your IdleQuest character name, the four other players who want to join your team, the name you have chosen for your team (up to 20 characters), whether you want your team to be password protected (if so, include a password), and a team description. |
