History of Loathing (2022)

These pages shall contain the history of the Kingdom of Loathing.

For an annotated list of changes to the game, see Changes.

January 03, 2022

• The Lucky Lindy, Optimal Dog, and Sunday's Pillkeeper Pill now conform to our modern notions of luck.
• Weird, Complicated, You Probably Don't Care Mechanics Warnings: The cold medicine cabinet now tracks the types of zones you visit after finishing a fight that takes a turn, not when you click a zone. Sorry, the few of you that figured out how to exploit the old way.

January 05, 2022

• The zones on the bottom floor of Spookyraven Manor are now considered to be underground by the entities that consider such things.
• Jick is going to appear on the next episode of the Ascension Speed Show podcast. Details in this forum post.

January 07, 2022

• Mischievous Yuletide spirits have informed us that Crimbo Town will fade back into the mists at rollover on Sunday night.

January 10, 2022

• "+ Booze Drops from Monsters" now applies to cocktailcrafting ingredients. This is so that "+ Food Drops from Monsters" no longer thinks that it is so much cooler.
• The miniature crystal ball now allows you to ponder it, viewing all applicable predictions that have been made. That said, a prediction coming true now moves you into a mirror dimension where any other predictions are no longer true.

To celebrate West of Loathing's approaching 1895th birthday,* we're reopening the Time-Twitching Tower for the whole week! Time to party like it's 1895! * (That's 1895 days since release -- wait, is that not what birthday means?)

October 18, 2022

Heads up! The Party of 1895 will soon be ending. The Time-Twitching Tower will be just a memory after tomorrow's rollover. (About 36 hours from now.)

November 02, 2022

Is it November already? Well then, head on over to Mr. Store and pick up a mummified entombed cookbookbat. He'll reveal ancient recipes, help you find more food, and teach you to cook more quickly!

December 22, 2022

December 26, 2022

There was a bug that caused some players to miss the opportunity to fight the Crimbo boss. Visiting the main map should fix anybody in this situation. Sorry!
