▍Start small

It keeps going when you close the tab.

You're a goblin. Poor, small, nobody yet. Pick a job, leave, and come back to whatever happened while you were out. Goblin World is a text MMO set in one goblin town — guilds, markets, rent, grudges and gambling that carry on without you. Nothing to babysit. One promise: it keeps going.

Work
Pick a job and leave. It runs while you're away; come back to the takings.
Guilds
Found one, or apply to one. Shared coffers, shared jobs, shared grudges.
Shinies
Earn it, bank it, spend it at the pawn shop, lose it at the Golden Rat.
Suspicion
Rises with what you get up to. Cools down if you keep your head down.
