summary""></p>
|
|
<p>Many of us -or maybe not, but let's assume that- have played at least one
|
|
<em>MMORPG</em> game in our life and we know that it could be <em>very</em> time consuming.
|
|
Level up, going to instances, getting better year… and if you was <em>hardcore</em>
|
|
enough: scheduled raids.</p>
|
|
<p>As we grow up we notice that the time for this kind of things fade away, but
|
|
you still want to party with friends and get some<em>purples</em>. Until I found
|
|
<strong>Tweeria</strong>, that <strong>brilliant idea</strong> of using your twitter posts to interact
|
|
with your <em>alter-ego</em> on a MMORPG world.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="/blog/2013/01/14/tweeria-mmorpg-people-without-time-can-play/profile.png" alt=""My
|
|
profile""></p>
|
|
<p>It shares some of the features of common MMORPGs but the good part is that
|
|
<strong>we don't need to do anything else that <em>tweet</em></strong>for many of them, so your
|
|
character makes an action for every tweet you post -I think it's not every
|
|
tweet, just a few in a period of time, haven't checked it-. You can defeat
|
|
<em>NPCs</em>, loot an item, going onto a dungeon alone… you can even save -or kill
|
|
:P- your friends if you mention or <em>retweet</em> them in your tweets.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="/blog/2013/01/14/tweeria-mmorpg-people-without-time-can-play/events.png" alt=""Upcoming and in-progress
|
|
raids""></p>
|
|
<p>However, there are some things that needs user interaction: the raids. You can
|
|
have up to five scheduled raids at the same time but you need to join for it
|
|
manually. However, it's fast and easy: you just need to get into the events
|
|
page and join the event you want. For gear swapping, selling items and buying
|
|
spells you need to interact on the site too. According to the posts you can
|
|
craft items and spells but that part of the game does not work for me, so I
|
|
don't know how it works.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="/blog/2013/01/14/tweeria-mmorpg-people-without-time-can-play/stats.png" alt=""Some tweeria stats
|
|
windows""></p>
|
|
<p>Another thing you can do to interact with your character is using spells. For
|
|
that, you need to buy on the market first, and when you have them equipped,
|
|
you can cast one by tweeting <code>!<spell shortcut></code> on a given tweet, the game
|
|
will use it<em>automagically</em>.</p>
|
|
<p>Oh, did I mention that also have <strong>achievements</strong>?</p>
|
|
<p><img src="/blog/2013/01/14/tweeria-mmorpg-people-without-time-can-play/map.png" alt=""The beautiful
|
|
map""></p>
|
|
<p>As I've said, it surprised me how the most basic idea can be developed into a
|
|
very enjoyable game. Unlike <em>ogame</em>, <em>travian</em>, and its brothers, you don't
|
|
need to check the site every minute.
|
|
But to be honest… I tweet more often since I play <em>Tweeria</em>.</p>

|

tweeria</a>. You'll help me getting an
|
|
achievement! :D</p>
