Everything we enhanced

Moo Classic keeps the original's rules for how the game plays. Nothing here makes you faster than the original, and the game is never faster for anyone.

The game and its rules

• The game is progressive classic: it starts at Season 0 with four classes, moves on to Season 1, and the Dark Lord arrives with Season 2. See What makes Moo Classic special.
• Experience runs at the original's 1x rate, so the game is a long one. See Getting started.
• Hunting monsters well above your level pays more experience, up to a cap.
• Moo Gold, the coin you buy, is the one name for it everywhere in the game.
• The X shop sells time and convenience only: no boxes and no pets. See The Moo Gold shop.
• Quest items drop for the party member whose quest they belong to, and quest items can be sold to an NPC.

Our own client and where it runs

• Moo Classic runs in the browser with nothing to install, and keeps playing when you switch to another tab.
• It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux as a download, and on Android as a small download that fetches the rest as you play.
• An Android phone gets a 64-bit app, and a 32-bit one for older phones.
• A desktop copy updates itself before it reconnects, and a phone or the browser is offered a new build at the login.
• The browser game takes a new build by itself and reloads at the login screen.
• The iPhone and iPad app is coming soon.
• The loading screen shows a tip and your own character while the map loads.
• The Esc menu has a News window and a Report a problem row.
• A crash reports itself, and a problem report can be sent from the game with a screenshot. See Commands and keys.
• Sounds and music download only when you want them, and Don't download sound turns the downloads off. See Options.
• Frame rate and 3D resolution can be chosen on every device, and the computer can be kept awake while you play. See Options.
• Phones run cooler by default, at 30 frames a second with the world drawn a little smaller.

Options
