The online Flash game ''[http://www.battleon.com/ AdventureQuest]'' by [[
The main story is based around the journey of the Devourer and Uncreator The'Galin to uncreate Lore and your attempt to stop the fiend. Nearly every war the game had has been directly or indirectly related to it. The plot and characters are impressive, but on the downside, most of the back story is on the forum, or other places you wouldn't know to look.
Line 10:
The game doesn't have only its simple fighting system to keep players enticed. Wars are special events used to move plots, where you enter a series of battles and each monster you and other players kill works toward a certain number to fight the boss for rare event items. You can find mini-games, though not many, in quests. Housing is a big feature, too. You can clear your space of land, start building and even get monsters to protect your house. The downside is that most of the things for houses cost Z-Tokens.
It is joined with the following ''sequels'' afterward: ''[[
{{tropelist}}
* [[Acronym and Abbreviation Overload]]: The forums have an actual [http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=17442314 guide] to the shorthand people use while talking about equipment.
Line 24:
* [[Anyone You Know]]: At the start you are asked for your name, and in Death's Domain you can randomly time travel back to change it.
* [[Anti-Grinding]]: Most quest and war monsters are level scaled.
* [[Anti
* [[Arc Welding]]: Carnax got attached to the Epic Quests got attached to the Nightbane storyline, and the result got [[Viewers Are Geniuses|really, really confusing]] in places.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Since the game has expanded so much in the time it's existed, there's been an enormous change in the art. The forum-based "encyclopedia" even has a catalogue of old monster pictures, which are ''still'' being updated.
Line 35:
* [[BFG]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Actually called that]].
* [[BFS]]: Loads.
** [[Punctuated!
* [[Boss in Mook Clothing]]: Many of the higher level random battle monsters are.
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: Guardianship and Z-tokens.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Granemor sure likes to get invaded and destroyed.
* [[CamelCase]]: Like pretty much all [[
* [[Cherry Tapping]]
* [[The Chessmaster]]: The Chessmaster of The Chessmaster Saga, [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]: Class abilities are accessed by being equipped with the class armor. Similarly, a lot of armors give you multiple attacks or other special powers.
* [[Copy and Paste Environments]]
* [[Cosmic Keystone]]: The Eight Elemental Orbs and the Orb of Creation.
Line 50:
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: The player can choose to become a [[Werewolf]], [[Vampire]] or Werepyre (A blend of the two) with the [[Department of Redundancy Department|help of each respective species leader's help]]. Though being of the furrier of the two comes with a Light-based [[Mon]], so meh.
* [[Dark World]]: Nightmare Realm
* [[Death Is a Slap
* [[Death Is Not Permanent]]: Death's quota is always full, and will bring you back to life for a favor.
* [[Death's Hourglass]]: The favor for being revived countless times is finding his lost hourglass in a secret quest.
Line 60:
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Donovan.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: A specialty of the Assassin class.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]:
** Subverted. Carnax {{spoiler|regrets what his master makes him do}} and The'Galin knows full well what he's doing.
** A lesser example, but the Grabbi most likely counts.
** Seth Cay Dhows is a major one. being able to exist in many places at once and can see through time, he even manages to split the mind of Falerin (who is a GOD!) and avoid nasty side effects of such an act. he was also recently reveled to be a man made god known by the name Epsilon who has gone insane and wishes to destroy everything and recreate it all in his own image (What he wishes to do is similar to uncreation which means he is a bigger bad then The'Galin)
* [[Elemental Embodiment]]: The updated wizard class is able to summon these as guests. One for each of the 8 element.
Line 70:
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]: Some of the random enemies are quite...unusual. Including things that really shouldn't be attacking you, like Paladins. Not to mention that one of the random encounters is a ''bush''.
* [[Evolving Weapon]]: A few of the weapons in stores. Generally explained as either vampiric or enchanted.
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Fission Mailed]]: In one quest that you have to do as the form of a ninja cat, Death sends you back to the quest when you die because you are too cute to be taken. This is also used a few times in the main storyline.
* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]] + [[The Beast Master]]
Line 76:
* [[Forced Level Grinding]]: Characters level extremely slowly, gain gold extremely slowly, and need both to buy new equipment. Hope you like farming.
* [[Furry Confusion]]: The gattas, which are anthropomorphic cats... who ride on non-anthropomorphic war cats.
* [[Game Over Man]]: Death shows up when you die, but [[Death Is a Slap
* [[Gameplay Ally Immortality]]
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: The updated Darkshifter had the offensive stats of a [[Lightning Bruiser]] and the HP of a Tank. its attack power was 5 times that of the updated version with twice the HP. now add on to this already [[Boss in Mook Clothing]] with the power bonus for magic use and you get a monster with 20 times the attack and twice the HP of its updated release of it.
Line 83:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Goggs pretty much exemplify it. They nearly always go first, and can, in some cases, blast you for 700 damage over the course of one turn, but can be taken out just as fast by a player who knows what they're doing.
* [[Global Currency]]: Gold
* [[God Is Evil]]: Seth Cay Dhows who was recently reveled to be a man made god known by the name Epsilon
* [[God of Evil]]: {{spoiler|Falerin of Caelestia.}} Not that he's especially evil.
* [[Going Through the Motions]]: Not too common, but [[Egregious]] during cutscene of the fight between Wolfwing and Nightbane.
Line 90:
* [[Headless Horseman]]
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: You can even leave your name blank.
* [[Hijacked
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: Yes, it can be done with a flash game; [http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=17069699&mpage=1&key=� it was parodied in the 2009 Frostval Event].
* [[Hit Points]]
Line 96:
* [[Hope Spot]]: The playerbase got one during Mostly Harmful. Almost two weeks of furious fighting, and it seemed like it was going to come down to the [[Timed Mission|last hour]]... then the fourth stage arrived and dropped the meter by a full 18% with less than a day to go. Cue [[Downer Ending]].
** Averted for those on the forums, however. It had been made clear that the war consisted of four waves.
* [[Humanity
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|The creators know it.]] They consider it part of the game's campy and fun atmosphere.
** Now say hello to the event that is called... [[Dragonball Z|Drakelcube P]].
** And meet mighty heroes and villains such as Gokar, Bhelma, Panfluti and Gherkina.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: The player character can be a spectacular moron, but in "The Bizarre Flecks", the player comments he/she is a [[Obfuscating Stupidity|master of playing dumb]].
Line 130:
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Several versions.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Galanoth does not like dragons. While this is not usually a problem, they're not [[

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: An entire quest about him, in fact. Using the [[Memetic Mutation|ACTUAL SCRIPT.]]

* [[Lost World]]: Dinozard island.
* [[Luck Manipulation Mechanic]]: Defying stat rolls by paying SP.
* [[Magic Knight]]: Including Undead variants.
* [[Magitek|Magiscience]]
* [[Mana Drain]]: The Banshee can do this to you. You can also do this to enemies in many different ways.

* [[Marathon Boss]]: [[Stone Wall|Sine qua non]] is a non-boss example. [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Marked Change]]: Various armors, shields and weapons.
* [[Mascot Mook]]: Frogzards.
Line 160:
* [[News Travels Fast]]
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: It's very possible to be a [[Beyond the Impossible|ninja-pirate-dragonslayer-vampireslayer-dracomancer-paladin-necromancer-knight-beastmaster-shapeshifter-assassin with a black belt.]]
** Reaching level 10 in the necromancer skill lets you optionally become a lich. Since you can choose to be any one of four possible subraces, this means you can double the undead fun and become a vampire lich.
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The Guardian Dragon is especially prone to this, with lines like "Sorry I'm late, the server was lagging again."
* [[Non-Linear Sequel]]: ''[[
* [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]: Female Drakels and Pae. Though the Drakel has have hair in later renditions. The staff have stated that this was intentional and not an artistic drift.
* [[Our Monsters Are Weird]]: Boy, howdy. You can fight everything from worms to the stat roller to ice cream to giant ticks to tomatoes to [[Killer Rabbit|Sarah the Nerfkitten]] to leprechauns to were-seals... the list goes on and on.
Line 168:
* [[Physical God]]: Lorithia was once said to have been a physical god at one point, which led to The'Galin's ascension to godhood. This was only told through forum backstory information. Falerin and Eldron are the gods of Evil and Good for the world of Caelestia.
* [[Planet Terra]]
* [[Playing
* [[Pop Quiz]]: When infiltrating N.O.V.A., you are asked questions, about the organization, that are never mentioned in the game. It redirects you to a link to the forums where you can ask about it before the quest starts, though.
* [[Power-Up]]: Red and blue potions (used to heal) and a lot of class abilities.
Line 184:
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: Zorbak and Kabroz, Varax and Xarav, Artix and Xitra.
* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Falerin's speech, which has become somewhat of a minor meme on the forums. Falerin has lampshaded it:
{{quote|
* [[Set Bonus]]: Mastercraft sets.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Loads, ranging in scale from a couple of random lines from ''[[Hamlet]]'' to an entire quest devoted to an [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[
** When having Radagast as a guest, if you run out of SP to keep him, he'll suddenly disappear while commenting about [[Freakazoid!|Jack]] [[Candle Jack
* [[Significant Anagram]]: Seth Cay Dhows/{{spoiler|Shadowscythe}}
* [[Standard Status Effects]]: Subverted; while there are normal ones, like burned, frozen, poisoned, and doom, there are ones like soaked, entangled, and afraid. There's a whole section of the [[All There in the Manual|forums encyclopedia.]] that list the status effects.
* [[Summon Magic]]: [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Talk Like a Pirate]]: An event synchronized with the real-life holiday of the same name.
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: Because of the high SP\MP cost and the constant danger of wasting it by missing, most level 10 class skills will end up as this for many players.
Line 197:
* [[The World Is Always Doomed]].
* [[Throw the Book At Them]]: An Umazen is implied to have learned magic over the internet. The "sort of" lampshade, turns out that all she knows is ''throwing a magic book at you''. Despite the lame-appearing attack however, it does relatively high damage when you're on par level with her.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Most weapons include at least one variation where they are thrown, which usually ends up providing more damage.
* [[Timed Mission]]: The "Division by Zero" and "Mostly Harmless" wars.
** Amongst others, including the second war in the Bradakhan saga, the "Terrible Twelve" war, and "Emerge from Shadow". It's a trope that's become moderately popular in recent years.
Line 207:
* [[Wallet of Holding]]
* [[Wall of Weapons]]: You can see one when you are meeting Shii and Wallo to train the assassin class.
* [[Weird Moon]]: In Darkovia, it's always night and there is always a full moon. And when the Devourer's attack was imminent, the moon changed into a weird red-eyed thing. And before the Devourer attack, Dewlok's home had a [[The Legend of Zelda:
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: While quests are set, you can still choose to do most of them at any time in any order.
