Kingdom of Loathing

The Kingdom of Loathing is a humorous, satirical, browser-based, and most importantly free MMORPG created by Asymmetric Publications (Zack "Jick" Johnson and Josh "Mr. Skullhead" Nite). It is notable for the usage of simple stick figure graphics, surreal gameplay, and its slogan, "An Adventurer is You!".

The description could go on forever, encompassing the economy of KoL, the famous players of KoL, the holidays, the events, the scandals. And maybe even the gameplay, if we have time. But really, the only way to find out what the Kingdom of Loathing is like is to play it, or as the case may be obsessively read this Wiki.
