Korean leveling threadmill cleverly disguised as a massive multiplayer online
game (Everquest, WoW, Eve Online). Also known as PT. It involves the following:
1. mindlessly killing mobs (mobs = monsters);
2. gaining items from
said mobs (items = better equipment = increased killing efficiency);
3. leveling up after killing an astronomical number of
said mobs (leveling = more stat points = increased killing efficiency);
4. accessing higher level maps with stronger mobs which render your new equipment upgrades and stat points
void;
5. jump back to #1 and repeat indefinitely
On very rare ocassions and after a significant amount of
time spent inside this senseless and
time-consuming loop, you
may achieve enlightment and be able to skip to #6:
6. in a flash of insight, you realize that playing PT is the equivalent of being brain dead and quit for good, denouncing all mmorpgs as the brainchildren of satan and make a witty entry on urbandictionary as your final contribution to the
game that has sucked out 2 years of your life;
It is also one of the few online multiplayer games where soloing is more efficient than partying, which promotes a healthy
anti-social attitude that will make you unable to function in
society ever after.
