Kevlar_Sindome writes "Verse Studios announced today that they have officially 'changed everything', with the release of their first game: Fool's Gold. Fool's Gold lets players take on the role of the heroic gold farmer seeking profit from gold hungry characters who seem to have an unlimited amount of money to spend, but never enough time to spend it. Touted as the first Gold Farming Role Playing Game ( GF-RPG ), Verse Studios hopes to get a jump on starting a new game genre. Fool's Gold is free for download off the Verse Studios website."
Will it include the giant Nasal Passages as a dungeon?
Or Informative, your choice. I could use a little Karmapickmeup. A little injection bawlz if you will.
Oh...and farming gold? Anything goes as an (MMO)RPG these days I guess.
Good. Cheap. Fast. Pick Two.
I downloaded and played for a bit.
This game TOTALLY rox my sox.
Though I'm not quite sure what that spanska.w32 message was all about...
Its a game. If I can find the story that ISN'T an April Fools Joke, I win something... Right??
You are where you are at the time you are there.
Great article. slashdottit!ed
I, for one, am getting tired of people posting about how tired they are of april fools' jokes. The whiny posts start at about 12:01 AM on April 1st and only end at 11:59pm. April fools' is like Christmas for slashdot - it only happens once a year, and it is a whole day devoted to happiness and humour. If you are truly getting tired of all this, just take solace in the fact that some of us find it quite diverting.
/. is moving fast!
Others take advantage of this day to try out their new modems with SpeedBoost technology, sending data over regular phone lines at a speed of 1.5c. It's the only way to get FP when
The English word fart is one of the oldest words in the English vocabulary.
Progress Quest is even more successful at extracting the core essence of MMORPGs, and distilling them down to their bare essentials in a way that enhances the playability of the game to the ultimate degree. Well, measured along one dimension, at least.
(And it's not specifically an April Fools joke; download it and try it out, the executable is real. Windows app, generally runs absolutely perfectly in Wine.)
Because I'm posting yet another god damned "in Soviet Russia" joke. In Soviet Russia, humor-impaired jokes mod YOU!

OMG this game is a hoax guys!! I installed it and my taxes still aren't done! LIES!! I DEMAND A REFUND! And it didn't even have any ponies. :(
There is no -1 Disagree mod. Slashdot.org/faq defines mod options. USE IT.
I Soviet Russia, Natalie Portman uses a Beowulf cluster of computers running RPGs to heat up grits and subsequently pour hot grits down _your_ pants!

Mod me +5 insightful please...... again, for no particular reason
I think the existence of this game is disturbing, and frankly it should not be encouraged by a link on slashdot. Gold farming is a serious issue that undermines the integrity of the games we invest our time and money in to play. This game is a slap in the face of the hard working people trying to combat gold farming. Making a hero out of the gold farmer is purely offensive.
I've been in the beta for this, and I have to say I love it. If it weren't for all the american players coming in and stealing my mobs however, it's be a lot more fun.
Damn, player names "RANGRANG" and "KEKEKEK" were already taken! *sigh*
If this is happiness and humor the world must be a lot worse off than I thought. I for one will be glad to see April 1 pass.
I love my sig.
Bi actually =P But close enough.
And yes, I have several female friends.
Way to ruin a joke, my versatile friend...
