FAQ
Phones, accounts, random items and ages.
Short answers on phones, accounts, random items and the way the finds are described.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Every find opened in a desktop browser when we checked. Some offer apps or desktop clients as well, but none is required.
Which ones work on a phone?
Ironwood RPG's guest sign-in and character screen worked in a phone-sized browser when we tried, and its terms cover apps. Elvenar has official iOS and Android apps. For the other seven we could not confirm phone-browser play: the text worlds and Angband assume a keyboard, Ikariam has withdrawn its app, and the rest make no official claim.
Which ones sell paid random items?
Elvenar does: most of its events sell chest currency for Diamonds, with no odds shown. Tanoth lets you spend a Bloodstone to re-roll the Alchemist's random stock. Ikariam and OGame showed none, but their item shops need a login, so we could not confirm it. The filter on the finds page shows only the five where we confirmed none.
Which ones need an email address?
Ironwood RPG lets you play as a guest. Idle Pixel and Angband.live ask only for a name and a password, and the two text worlds create characters inside the game. Elvenar asks for an email address, and Tanoth, Ikariam and OGame need a Gameforge account with one.
Are there age limits?
Elvenar is for 16 and over under InnoGames' terms, Tanoth carries a USK 16 label and Ironwood RPG's terms set 13 as the minimum. Ikariam and OGame show USK 0 with Gameforge's parental-consent rule, and the four volunteer and solo-run games publish no age rule.
Why are there no scores?
Because the right game depends on your evenings. The tags and profile bars describe each find in the same terms, so you can compare them without a number deciding for you.
What does 'est.' mean on the daily minutes?
It marks our estimate. No game publishes how long a typical day takes, so we worked it out from timers and caps; the method page explains how.
Is this site connected to any of the games?
No. LootTide is independent, earns nothing from the links and has no relationship with the operators.
