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.

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.

And...I just lost. Thanks, spydez.

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.

Is this better than ProgressQuest?
