title: Tweeria: The MMORPG people without time can play

Many of us -or maybe not, but let's assume that- have played at least one
|
|
_MMORPG_ game in our life and we know that it could be _very_ time consuming.
|
|
Level up, going to instances, getting better year… and if you was _hardcore_
|
|
enough: scheduled raids.
|
|
|
|
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_purples_. Until I found
|
|
**Tweeria**, that **brilliant idea** of using your twitter posts to interact
|
|
with your _alter-ego_ on a MMORPG world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It shares some of the features of common MMORPGs but the good part is that
|
|
**we don't need to do anything else that _tweet_**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
|
|
_NPCs_, loot an item, going onto a dungeon alone… you can even save -or kill
|
|
:P- your friends if you mention or _retweet_ them in your tweets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 `!<spell shortcut>` on a given tweet, the game
|
|
will use it_automagically_.
|
|
|
|
Oh, did I mention that also have **achievements**?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As I've said, it surprised me how the most basic idea can be developed into a
|
|
very enjoyable game. Unlike _ogame_, _travian_, and its brothers, you don't
|
|
need to check the site every minute.
|
|
But to be honest… I tweet more often since I play _Tweeria_.
