I've been playing an MMO that you can only play via rest API calls: Artifacts (artifactsmmo.com)

The gist is you write macros/automations/scripts to play the MMO based on your logic.

I decided to do it in bash/curl/jq to make it extra fun and learn some tools I use occasionally but only withheavy man page referencing. After some playing I might be a bash-scripting pro.

That sounds really awesome. Can you be bullied by stronger players, or you can just do your thing and interact if you wanna? Not into competing/fighting other players personally.

Reading through the site, there's no real player interaction now except for an in game marketplace. There's no PvP, but it looks like having multiple players team up to fight enemies is on the roadmap. So, not really much of an MMO at the moment, which is probably a plus since it means there isn't any griefing
