I'm not sure anybody saw the moment where he cracked. It was so sudden...

And please, no ed. No talk of ed. We don't need more topic deletions making the board more unstable, and personally, I don't want to try and defend newbs intent on their own banning again...

EDIT: So I don't make the exact same post as Dolphin, I agree about the below posts.

Really, looking back, it's more that you say one thing that was either unnecessary or redundant, and it draws fire from everyone else. Please stop it. If nothing else, it tricks some of us into thinking that an actual discussion emerged, instead of another wonderful game of Bash the Newb.

I downloaded it and found an empty .cmg without a resource fork. I mean, it wasn't a big deal to grab the PC version and run it through GraphicAdjuster.

I'm not sure why it would do that... but I thought it was odd to find a MAC_OS_X folder in the main folder.

Yeah... on the one hand, I can see how any advertising would be good for the company, but I doubt we had any effect there.

The demos (which are huge) don't cost anything to download. If you decide to register, then it costs money... and that's the only way to complete any of the games.

Okay, I can see why you'd be worried about time if you're on dial-up... but each scenario is like 4 megabytes, tops. It's not that much space.

Another point against an Avernum multiplayer game (I can't speak for or against Geneforge)... the sheer size and general emptiness of the caves would probably make for rather dull gameplay, at least in the normal context of an MMO. If it got too crowded, it wouldn't feel like the caves anymore... part of the fun for me in playing A2 was the feeling that there was nobody else out there capable of accomplishing all of that. An MMO ruins that feeling, because suddenly anyone is capable of killing a legendary beast because it respawns for some reason.

Also, throw enough adventurers into the caves, and the sheer number of "kill & fetch" quests issued would throw the already rather fragile ecology of the caves so far out of whack as to be beyond help. Of course, it might finally be enough to exterminate the chitrachs from the upper caverns, so it could be the lesser of two evils. :P

So, basically there'd be enough elements of the standard MMO that work against everything Avernum excels at. Besides, there'd be that awkward period of leveling up that Jeff has already said he rather hates in RPGs, and I was always under the impression that the process gets even longer and more boring in an MMO.

...so then I realized I was digressing into why an MMO won't work, and wasn't quite addressing the question. Multiplayer wouldn't be all that interesting, except maybe some sort of co-op campaign mode. I'd play that.

The Lyceum has stagnated with regards to BoA, despite Bain's commendable efforts. Its main function seems to be supporting BoE.

...Infernal Flamming Muffin. Blake has definitely disobeyed the CoC, what with his endless talk about him and his friend Dante cracking games open. Not to mention the very poorly- and thinly-veiled suggestions that he and his friend could supply cracks to members of the board.

He's basically hanging himself.

EDIT: The only reason I'm not with Infernal (not muffin) on this one is that Blake has claimed to be working on a Blades of Avernum scenario, and thus I can't completely write him off yet. But I'd suggest that he finishes that thing as soon as possible, to establish some concrete reason as to why he's not being banned yet.
