you mean another player killed me while i was offline?,, that's really unfair i will start with no energy and need to wait too long time :( :(
if i know him i will drain his energy xD, anyway i will finish the game (maybe in the over time).
BTW please tell me when a new game will start , i can donate some games (treasures).

Well, at least there's not much risk of getting addicted to this... So little energy, so much waiting... alright, I died, about an hour to wait.
Get resurrected, move a few steps, find a monster, decide it's too big, try to run away, get killed - now there's 5 hours and 51 minutes wait time. And that's not counting the energy...
I'm not sure why the start has to be so slow, apparently it gets less frustrating later on... I'm not sure yet how much "later on" I'll reach though...
I don't want to sound too negative, I really like this idea and I was really excited when I read about it and started out, but I've been unsure about this since I first ran out of energy and realized how much waiting there would be and how little actual game play.
Found a "nice time" to try my first death (and save potions), but now find myself very frustrated that I don't get to play more today. I don't like that the game decides when and how much I can play - I find real life restricting my game time enough ;)
Sorry for the rant, I like what you've done here, I guess I just don't understand it :D

Alright, you managed to get me kind of addicted anyways :)
I still think the extremely slow start kills it for a lot of people. Of course, If that's the intention, it's working! One week in and I finish the game as number 87 - btw is that unique players or do radagast et al count twice, thrice...?
I had a great time when the first frustration passed and the game started for real. I think it's a really nice thing you have created here, and I can't help to feel it's a shame that so many people don't get to try it because of the slow start. Also, I assume it takes quite a bit of work to set all this up - don't you want more people to see and enjoy it?
Anyways, I hope this doesn't sound negative (again!), I'm just writing down my thoughts about the Game. I really did enjoy it for the most part and look forward to the next chapter :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :) I totally agree that the beginning part might have turned many people off since the "main part" of the Game starts a little later - that was my mistake. It's my first experience at makng such RPG game, and I surely will try to make it more and more enjoyable ;)
I'm happy to know that you didn't give up at start after all and enjoyed the adventure! :)
P.S. Yes, it is the number of unique winners.
P.P.S. Happy Cake Day! ;)

Would be nice for a valentine's event. In order to implement something like that however there would have to be a reward/motive for the player doing it. Such as "heal a nearby player" but gain 2 energy. All abilities would have to follow that pattern or something similar. ^^ I admit its unique.

I'm permanently trapped now :(. Went invisible, passed the "Dendrite", got the eye, but didn't have any invisibility any more. If I try escaping, I just go back to the eye room, and there's no way to fight the Dendrite (I tried, and slowly all my fireball scrolls, explosive vials and health potions and resurrection scrolls and phoenix blood finished). So every 4-5 hours I resurrect, try fighting the Dendrite, lose, die and repeat.
There some way my account can be reset in the game?

It was a nice idea but you should have a 2nd invisibility or teleport in hand, to try and steal something from something as powerful as that. P

Not sure if that will work, I tried to teleport to the witch cabin but stayed at the eye, even had the option of taking it again, didn't lose the scroll though.

I have been fighting with the three levels for more than 100 energy points. Now that I've pulled them all, and they are glowing green light, but the mysterious door still not opened...
I have literally checked every possible place, still not found the key to the stone door or the mysterious door. It makes me feel so tired, maybe I'm not smart enough for this game.... T.T

Don't worry man. You are not alone :) I'm in exactly the same situation. It drives me mad because the only solution I can see is to make every check again. It will take probably 2 days so I'm not gonna win this time. I guess I can't win them all :)

Thank You for advice but I don't get it :) If You mean that I can see on minimap what I already checked and what not then I know it. But the problem is I have been on every tile and checked every wall and still don't have what I need. But if You mean something else then maybe I'm blind or too stupid :( Either way thanks for advice.

Another question. I had the hot key and i dont have it anymore and cant remember if i used it. Any hint what might happen to it and if was important ? If i have to look for it the whole dungeon it will take me days to get proper amount of energy.
im heading for ratman now, will see if i missed much. I also checked everything now (walls and corridors) and need to kill/finish quests in the right order.

But nice to see the scores. :)
edit: should've logged in. 20th place, same as the one I finished the game.

I'm just about to finish my 2nd run as a Mage. It was a lot easier than the first time, because I knew where to go and what to do. Just started fighting the dragon again and this time it's harder to defeat him, because I have better stats and much worse weapons than the last time. But before I finish him off, I wanted to ask, whether I would take someone else's spot in the allowed number of winners, if I win the game a second time with a different class? Because I really don't want to do that!

Fighting a scratchy bird with my barbarian, encountering it with my last energy move, so starting tired.
Attacking and being attacked, I'm bleeding at some point.
When both low on hp(me: 17 he: 3), I miss, he hits me for 14 and I get the mention I died from bleeding.
Screen changes to: You have no energy wait for x minutes, I'm alive with the 3 hp left and still bleeding.

There should be a message in the south, check the walls again, if you haven't already.

I can't sign in anymore. Every time I try it just takes me back to the sign in button again.

Having the same problem. I died and after I got resurrected it logged me out and I can't log back in.
Comment has been collapsed.
Is this an error, I won the game and claimed my treasure, but the treasure is a link I already got previously?
Also please make another one soon it was really addicting. Think about this game, while not focusing on mid terms. :D
Going to play again once my question has been answered.
Also, server overloaded at like 5:42 pm GMT -5.

Hello Steamgifters! It is that time again - adventure time! Join a great adventure with incredible amount of treasures!
Over 80 treasures are featured in the current Game!
All of us like playing games, and all of us like winning games. So, how about playing a game and winning games while playing?
Introduction
Game of sWords is a text RPG Adventure where you can explore dungeons (or other locations), complete quests, solve puzzles, find useful items, avoid deadly traps and fight dangerous monsters while searching for treasures (private SteamGifts giveaways links) on your way and trying to reach the end to get access to a huge amount of private giveaways! Each Game (of sWords) usually has a unique scenario and a limited number of winners, so the chances will always be great.
All giveaways have no restrictions, so anyone who finds them can join them!
Lots and lots of giveaways have been contributed by the community members, and I would like to say a big Thank You to everyone who made a contribution! :)
Here is the topic of the previous Game of sWords.
Here is the topic of the first Game of sWords.
Important notes about the Game
In the Game, you will have Energy Points and Health Points.
Most of the actions in the Game require Energy Points. Energy can be replenished using items, which you can find everywhere, thus it is important that you check everything around you!
Energy will also be replenished over time. Normally, you will receive 1 Energy Point every 15 minutes, and that time can be reduced with special artifacts that can be found in Game.
Note, that the Energy won't be replenishing during the battles (you can only restore it with potions)!
If you lose all your Health Points, you will also lose all the energy you had plus you will have to wait for up to 6 hours to be resurrected. (Basic Resurrection happens every 6 hours from the time the Game started - 16:00 GMT). The energy can not be replenished while you are dead!
Note: If you have problems navigating through the map, you can switch to Simplified Navigation at the bottom right corner.
I highly recommend to read this article for important Strategy Tips and general understanding of the Game :)
Also, make sure to read the FAQ, it has the answers to most questions you might have about the Game ;)
What's new in the current Game of sWords?
Current Game is a true RPG adventure with 3 classes, experience system and levels, multiple skills, wide variety of enemies with random encounters and huge amount of weapons, artifacts and items. There is 10 times more of everything than in the previous Game! The map is now twice as big as the one in The Secret Castle (previous Game), so you have to be ready for a long and dangerous journey! Make smart decisions, develop your character your way and lead him to success!
Current Winners limits: Barbarians:19, Mages:17, Thieves:24.
