Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Wednesday, December 3 2003 10:09 Profile #6 You're right, of course. But I have to have my fun.

Omlette Shaper Member # 517	written Wednesday, December 3 2003 12:26 Profile #8 Actually, as TM says, it's fairly obvious that it wouldn't be a feasible project for all the reasons that are almost always dragged out at this point and doubtless more.

The Abridged Series Guardian Member # 2080	written Wednesday, December 3 2003 14:40 Profile #11 Server aside, Avernum online would probably suck. Geneforge online might be a good idea. But a fully turnbased RPG just won't work cause ppl would get impatient and pissed off easily. Plus the profanity rate of the people on it would triple after the 1rst week. Flaming would be endless and some people would start clans and gang up on other members(especially newbs). Then everyone and their dog will be using hacks to get ahead of others. It'd pretty much turn into chaotic hell of Diablo. Posts: 1918 \| Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00
Radiant Master Jeweller Member # 409	written Thursday, December 4 2003 03:19 Profile Homepage #12 I think next time anybody asks this question we should egg them on a bit and tell about the deal Jeff recently closed with Electronic Arts regarding the sequel to Ultima Online. -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

The Abridged Series Guardian Member # 2080	written Thursday, December 4 2003 16:35 Profile #14 But to save time, think first. Is it something that someone other than you would think of asking? And if so, is it really important enough to search? And if no topics are found should I start one about it? Then say 'screw it' to all of that and start topic to ask an obviously stupid question. It's always worked for me. Posts: 1918 \| Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00

The Abridged Series Guardian Member # 2080	written Thursday, December 4 2003 17:36 Profile #16 actually, I got canned cause I was acting like an idiot 1 day. that was like a few months ago. I think it's past due for it to be ended, but that would require to admin to show up every now and then and a request, and a small bribe. None of which are gonna happen.

No it isn't. It has many meanings. Annyway, I think a Geneforge online would work better because of the enige, but it would maybe have been best if it was in realtime... Jeff won't do either, and Geneforge is a losing game.
