I'm curious if anyone else here has heard of it or currently has a profile? They just changed names from "HabitRPG"; essentially it's gameified productivity software. You have a character for your profile and create "Tasks" from positive and negative habits that you want to track, and log them for each occurrence (which grants xp and money if positive, and deals damage to you if negative) so they're like quests. Daily tasks can be set up if you want to make sure you do something every day, for example I created one to track daily water consumption. As you progress you can purchase equipment, define your character class, learn spells/skills, etc but I've not leveled up to do most of that yet. Basic RPG stuff, but all centered around being productive in real life. 

 

I've been using it for the past week now and it's really helped me stay on track with some adjustments I wanted to make to my diet, exercise, sleep schedules, productivity, etc. You can also join groups to complete "boss fights", which basically just keeps track of everyone's productivity and the party deals or receives damage based on this, so it keeps people accountable to eachother. There's an Apple and Android app that work well, though the website is much easier to use.

 

I'd be down to start an LRG xp group if anyone is interested in checking it out (or already plays). It's free to join/play but they have the usual in-game purchase items (I think for almost entirely cosmetic stuff)

Just told my wife about this and she loves the idea.

I may jump on board also.

i joined the other day but haven't logged back in yet. Crimson Spirit is my ID

Cool, I can invite you to the xp group I'm currently in (just some random people I found on reddit) and eventually if we get a few LRG people (or a bit higher level, I'm still only level 8) we can start our own party. I just invited redjar

 

Can't add you with your name though, need your character's API key (mentioned in my previous post)

Part of my bad habits is forgetting to do things.

Is it any wonder that I haven't joined this yet?

honestly the biggest struggle I've had with it is remembering to actually log the things that I've done. I'm using a suck-phone right now though to get me through until the new Google Nexus comes out in October and it barely runs the app, so I have to use the website most of the time. I'm sure that's part of it but still. 

 

but yeah I've got redjar in my group now, drop me your API for your character once you get around to it ;)
