Omnitopia: The Playground (sometimes called OTP) is a webcomic on the Giantitp forums. Yes, [[OrderOfTheStick that]] [[{{Erfworld}} Giantitp.]] The Giantitp home to OrderOfTheStick, and various forum related comics like Murphy's Law and Avatar Battle Royale (which has various spin-offs). The premise of the comic is simple. A fictional MMORPG came out in 2005 which soon became very popular (and caused World of Warcraft to shut down). One of its features is that players can create their own servers. The good-folks from the Giantitp forums (Like the Author, Grlump, and every other player-character in the comic) have created their own server. Mayhem ensues. Every player character in the comic is a user from the forums who has asked to appear. The tropes are split up into two categories: The Comic, for stuff like the characters and plots, and The Game, for elements of the game presented in the comic.

There are also many jokes about the Giantitp Minecraft Server (the most prominent of which is Maxios asking the server if he's Scuzzball). The Pervsharks from Avatar Battle Royale will also appear. Monty Python has also been referenced.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Inverted. The Author has said before that death is permanent for every character in the game, even non player characters (unless they come back as a ghost or are brought back to life somehow).



* GreenLanternRing: Word of God says that there are several dozen power rings scattered across the GameWorld. Their types include: Green, Blue, Red, Yellow, Black, and White (there's only one Black Ring, and only one White Ring).



* InvisibleWall: Subverted. You can go anywhere on the GameWorld from the start. And then, when it's all been explored (which, according to Word of God, will take months), you can go into space and start exploring other planets.



* OurGoblinsAreDifferent: They have Ninja (who are really just fifth level fighters), are wise enough to spy on the player-characters, and are very protective of their turf.



* WideOpenSandbox: An odd, non-videogame example. Omnitopia is stated as being as such.



* WordOfGod: The Author has said that the Pervsharks from Avatar Battle Royale will appear. He's also said the Lord of Shadows will become a villain (as requested) and so will Superdark. He's also said that Raziere will find a power ring, and that Akrim will be pushed off a cliff by Grlump so he can get a Revolver she found.
