I've been an User of AQ(Adventure Quest) for almost three years, and made myself a X-Guardian account a few weeks ago. I'm just curious if there's any of you out there that know of this game or play it. It's a great browser RPG with a lot of quests, weapons, skills, enemies, and with a higher than usual difficulty found in normal RPG's. For those of you who are curious about this rpg, the site is www.battleon.com.

Looks average.

Well it's one of the very first web browser RPG's ever made, and since then it has grown huge. It has over 300 quests, 1000 weapons, armors, shields and items, over 20 classes, each with 10 skills to learn, their own custom weapons and armors, over 1000 different enemies, and it has a lot of strategic depth in it ;) And for those who just want to try it out, it's totally free.

I've played a lot of RPG's in my life, beginning with console RPG's, and this is the only web browser RPG that's ever captivated me, and the only RPG with online features since Diablo 2 that i've ever played.

This is just personal opinion, but I would put it slightly above average, for a Free RPG ;)

How many active players?

It averages 132K.

Here it's the site that tracks the stats of every player, it's mainly used for tracking your gold and xp farming, since the game has a daily cap for both (The game was hacked a lot at the beginning, so it was a preventive measure taken by the GM).

Don't you want to play other mmo's like WoW, Lineage 2, Aion, and Maple Story.

Eh, I quit because I hated the game. Not a fan at all.

For some reason I could never get into MMORPG's. The only one i've ever played constantly online was Diablo 2, and that was only because me and a group of friends got together and created a party of 4, and we always played together. Even then, that was way too many people playing. I'm really more into single player RPG's

Edit - @Outlawauron.  Did you get far in the game?

I joined during the Volcano war event a long time ago. I beat the event and just got tired of it.

I'll never sign up for a game that price gouges you as much as they do. I became a member of Runescape because I liked the game, and because Jagex was a decent company that took care of the people who played for free.

Here's Adventure Quest:
