Clickquest is an online "MMO" dreamed up by Alex. It is completely text-based and it's only real feature is a chatbox and user colors. Gameplay is limited to One Click = One EXP, and each level up takes 10 times the clicks as the last. The max level is 100 (although a promised expansion will add 10 more levels!), which would take over six million clicks at this rate.

LRR Fan Fugiman did indeed take up the challenge of making the game a reality. The first release at http://clickquest.x10.mx/ has already garnered over 200 users and 1.5 million clicks (as of Aug. 25 '10). Fellow LRR Fan Nmaster64 purchased http://www.clickquest.net/ and is assisting with server administration. Fugiman is preparing to release a new and more stable version of the game soon.

There are differences in gameplay between ClickQuest as depicted by Crapshots, and ClickQuest the game. In the game the level progression is actually *1.09+1. This means that Level 100 can be obtained after 6,477,867 clicks, as opposed to the several trillion that the *10 format entails. There have been a few changes to the visual format of the page, for example the self contained chatbox and differences in player colours.

There have also been various additions to the functionality of the game. (I'll update this in somewhere between 2 and 6 hours, for anyone looking at the page in the interim)


Origin

The Grinder: The Concept

ClickQuest originated in Crapshots episode 45, The Grinder, as an absurd metaphor for games like World of Warcraft and how pointless they are at their core.
