MMO in loving tribute to xkcd-1110

I found a bug<p>In the Chasm of Fate, after you defeat B'Joril the TimeMaster, you're supposed to get 1 piece of Titan class armor, and a random roll for 1-3 Peacock Plumes, but every time my group only gets the armor, and never any Peacock Plumes.<p>The devs really rushed this one out. I can't believe they expect people to pay 12 dollars a month for this.

So serious question- right now its not accepting connections to the (websocket? haven't looked at the code) server as its out of connections.<p>Any theory as to what the most likely bottleneck for something like this is? I've been tempted a few times to put something like this together, and never been sure where its most likely to fall apart.

FWIW I set my own instance of this up for anyone who's getting locked out of the main server.<p><a href="http://www.feoh.org/1110" rel="nofollow">http://www.feoh.org/1110</a>

This is great. I much prefer this experience for viewing than the zooming ones that people posted right after it came out. This seems much more immersive. Great work!!

Note: it's xkcd, not xckd. (in the page title)

The server's overloaded. I'm refreshing the page madly but it's only getting worse!<p>;D

To label your guy, type "I am Joe", and it will have Joe underneath instead of a number.

I think its a beautiful cartoon - I'm just worried that it sounds so wistful, did something happen in the author's personal life to make it so contemplative?

Probably the 1000th person to name themselves "import antigravity", but I'm still giggling about it.

Holy crap this is cool! Thanks for ruining my productivity for the rest of the day.

If the server hits its user limit, you can console yourself with a demo video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvLxOVYeo5w" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvLxOVYeo5w</a>

I'm curious - how did you handle the collisions with objects? Did you run some sort of algorithm to auto-detect which objects should be solid, or was it all done by hand?

This reminds me so much of pitfall II <a href="http://youtu.be/TSUk_bmJQRQ?t=23s" rel="nofollow">http://youtu.be/TSUk_bmJQRQ?t=23s</a>

Server issues. Let me guess: node.js?

I got tangled in the radio tower.

I wouldn't call this "massively" multiplayer. More like a MUD (multi-user dungeon).

Goll-lee! That's an awfully large antenna tower in North Dakota.

Awesome! I'd be happier moving around using WASD keys.

Some issues with bounding boxes and collisions it would seem. <a href="http://imgur.com/MMM3o" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/MMM3o</a>

Thanks for making this. This is exactly what I imagined when I first saw that XKCD.

This is neat. To delete all text, hit enter and type something else.

I'd like world to be darker.

This is very beautiful.

Cool!
