Maybe I'm just stupid but the description doesn't make any sense to me. Anyone who's played this care to do a quick overview?

I think it's a ploy to get people to start wasting time browsing the internet. Oh wait...

last I looked, it was something like RescueTime or 8aweek, with funny graphics. Interesting, though.

Would this be an inappropriate time to suggest a merger between RescueTime and Idle RPG? Imagine how much more productive you'd be if you leveled up inverse proportionally to time spent surfing the web.

That would be cool! e.g. at rescuetime my efficiency is at 83%. Yawn.

How much cooler would it be if I was a Zen Monk in the Order of Time wielding a Staff of the Moon. With pretty graphics of course (and a widget for on my blog).

I mean, people have already succeeded in turning MMORPGs into work (farming, selling virtual stuff on ebay), why not turn work into an RPG?

I think that is an accurate description of PMOG.

Sounds a bit too much like The Game. If the only way to win is not to play, I don't think there's much fun to be had.

Is this better than ProgressQuest?
