I don't know if AQ was my first RPG, but it was definetely one of. My entire perception of fantasy is Adventure Quest centric and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have said things like 'Oh they call their Dracolichs 'Frostwyrms'.' or 'Oh so they're like a 'Pyromancer'.' etc. But when I first began playing WoW when I was 13 and saw there was an option to be a Paladin I was like 'Oh that's for if I want to kill Undead.' And even though now I know that in Warcraft lore Paladins were created to fight the Orcs, I STILL think of them as undead slayers and whenever I see them doing anything else it feels weird even though it shouldn't.īasically, Adventure Quest is the standard by which I judge all other fantasy against.

Sure that tends to be the default role of Paladins in plenty of other games where they appear. Just like the aforementioned words I've just somehow always known about these characters as far as my memory is concerned.īut how does this affect me today? Well let's take Artix for example, he's burned a permanent association between Paladins and fighting undead into my subconscious. I don't remember when I first met Galanoth. I don't remember when I learned Zorbak was a Necromancer. I don't know when I first learned that Artix liked to fight undead or when I first saw Artix at all. I know had to have learned these words from SOMEWHERE and the only media I consumed early in my life that regularly used words like that was Adventure Quest.īut it gets even crazier because I have zero recollection of meeting the characters in Adventure Quest either. The only reason I know it was Adventure Quest is purely through deduction. As far as my memory is concerned I've somehow always known these words. But the crazy part is that it's so far back that I have no recollection of actually learning these words. I know for a fact that Adventure Quest was where I learned staple fantasy nomenclature like 'Mage', 'Paladin', 'Necromancer', 'Pyromancer' and probably even 'Mana'. I first started playing Adventure Quest way back in 2005 when I had just turned 8 years old and it was my first ever exposure to the modern fantasy genre. Give a man a fish and he’ll use it to spell FUCK on your bridge, after all.Something on my mind lately is how much of an effect Adventure Quest had on my development as a child and how it influences how I play games and consume media to this very day. One downside is that beautiful works of art are hard to keep up consider this co-operative vision of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, which was allegedly destroyed by The Black Void, which itself now has a Reddit to organize its “hits” on other teams’ projects. National factions, collegiate factions, art factions, nihilist factions… it’s got everything. The sub is filled with impromptu factions of players working together, working against each other, or sowing chaos. Every five minutes, you can place a colored tile some place on the canvas. Here’s how it works: At the top of the sub is a massive pixel canvas. “Although not described as an MMO, it is basically one,” he said mysteriously, and… he was right.

This I remembered yesterday, when Massively OP reader Rick told us in no uncertain terms that we needed to check out /r/place, this year’s Reddit April Fools’ Day joke that has taken on a life of its own.

Wandering around Reddit can be almost as hazardous as falling into the time vacuums of Wikipedia and TV Tropes.
