    <snicker>

    You completely left out the D&D Games for the C64 <sigh>.

    I got started with a novel called, "The Dangling Witness". It had nothing to do with D&D, Consoles, PC's or anything else. In fact, it dealt with the games that the mind plays on itself (wohlolololo)

    Haha.

    Back to the point...Uhmmm, hmmmm

    I'd have to say the tale of Skara Brae. A powerful mage and I make it past the final room, after losing every key member of the party, and slaying our way through thousands in halls of the never-dead-undead...A Bard's Tale.

    The Bard's Tale is googable. Nice story. The game was ok, too.

• • Best quests

  • My favorite quest is The Focusing Stone Quest; Asheron's Call.

    It's a mage specfic quest that cannot be completed solo (at level). First run through, people die within the maze. No one has lockpicking skills to open the door leading to the undergound. Certain rooms, the mob ignores you (if you attack, three rooms of baddies come down on you).

    Please don't qoute me on the exact quest..this is being drawn from memory 5 years back.

    Well, it was a team-oriented quest that could be soloed by a highlevel player.

    The quest takes place in a building that is heavily guarded. You must solve some door latch issues before heading to the dungeon area, that is plagued by the undead.

    The focusing stone is guarded by a very bad looking Bone-Knight (skelly). Before that, you need to traverse some lava golems and lesser undead. The quest, when teamed is about 30-45 mins long. Since every player must pick up the spawning stone, things can get a bit fun with mob respawns. Occasionally, an AFk'er would come back to find a corpse with the focus stone in hand.

    The final step is to touch the focusing stone to a power source, located in the last part of the quest. Many people had to run back through because they didnt charge the stone in the power source, or died trying.

    I'm sure I butchered the true flow of the quest, but it's still my favorite for solo and partying.

• • Who wants to role play?

  • Try looking into the Wizards of The Coast website for answers.

    I'm sure they have a ton of resources. I know for sure they have blank Character Sheets, mapmakers, and a few monster generators.

    That's how I was born -.-

     

    Good luck!

• • Share the fun with you, lol

  • OMG!!!

    Whoever coined the phrase, "It's good for player interaction" is rich, but need meds.

    People don't need built-in player/people interaction. They would interact over a well placed rock in the sand. Having thought about it, perhaps it's thinking along those lines that have ruined the fact that we are being led and not leading.

    If I'm on a narrow passage, do I need arrows pointing me to the far end? Doesn't that take away the fact that I can think and reason on my own? I am 100% sure that a monkey could find it's way to the far end of a narrow passage without arrows (player interaction).

    If I find the Sword of a Thousand Evils, please let me decide what to do with it. Don't place player interactions that almost force me to react a specific way. Who wants another boss in their life??? I don't. So, guess what?!? Let me decide what to do with the sword. If anyone cares that a priest is wielding a two-handed sword than they need to lighten up.

    Loot systems are crazy like that...built-in reminders that whatever you find, great or small, is meant for someone else. So Sill

• • my first mmo

  • Sorry about that...Devs need to eat, and low playerbases don't pay the bills.

    This is a big problem that gamers face, when choosing a place to spend thier time, money, and efforts. It's kind of spooky not knowing if the game you invested so much time into will disappear or live on forever.

    Nothing is certain in the gaming industry. Servers shut-down and sometimes the game changes so drastically that you quit playing.

    Go to the forums, or fansites of the game and find your friends. Maybe you can all join another game together. Afterall, Turfs wasn't exactly the Bee's Knees in gaming. <wink>

    You'll bounce back to level 90 in another game, for sure. Keep your hope alive.
