Idle RPG

Idle RPG

"Idle RPG", or just IRPG, is the general appellation of a class of satirical computer role-playing games (RPG) made for Internet Relay Chat (IRC).

The goal of an IRPG is to gain levels by remaining idle in the channel where the game takes place. Most IRC-related actions such as changing nicknames, speaking, departing the channel, etc. incur a "penalty", which generally manifests as an increase of the "time to level" (TTL). [ [http://www.idlerpg.net/#penalties #G7 Idle RPG penalties] ]

In addition to remaining idle, players typically also gain levels from finding items, battling other players, and so on; however, these actions are performed by a bot automatically for the player. Some IRPGs allow for limited interaction by the players; the GameSurge variant known as GSIRPG, for example, allows players to issue challenges to other players in an attempt to increase the leveling speed.
