            @hugs A browser-based MMORPG by Zack "Jick" Johnson and Josh "Mr. Skullhead" Nite. The overarching plot of the game, such as it is, involves defeating the aptly-named Naughty Sorceress, who has imprisoned the beloved ruler of the Kingdom, King Ralph XI, in a prism (this is known in-game as his being "imprismed"). But first you have to level up your character through the usual rigmarole of Fetch Quests, monster hunting, and Level Grinding.

              @xtux345 Sounds basic.

                @hugs here are several things that make this game fairly unique among MMORPGs, however: It is completely free, though donations are accepted, appreciated, and encouraged by the offering of a powerful accessory for a ten-dollar donation, which in turn can be traded for a powerful "item of the month", which is only available for a limited time, but it can also be bought from other players for in-game currency. The game's graphics consist almost entirely of stick figures and other crude black-and-white drawings. The game possesses a sense of humor that is at times snarky, scathingly satirical, and loaded with pop culture references, including parodies of other RPGs. For example, the Dungeons of Doom is an homage to the game Nethack, while another zone is the "Penultimate Fantasy Airship", with monsters that take the bananas out of Square-Enix games.
