Where did all the good people go?

well, i was going to get it today, foxxee, but those plans got changed.

and TW isnt open play? they're forcing you to varous zones to make you follow their storyline? hmmm, that's not real good. i thought game devs learned not to do linear stuff like that in rpg's. it's fine for some games. in fact, you have to, but rpg's folks tend to want a universe and get your hands off me you silly gamegod people! so, that does surprise me a bit.

did they ever make morrowwind multiplayer?

and i'd love to play with you, foxxee, though i think it would be a bit stale in a hurry as far as hack and slash. still, just wandering around that scenery is pretty cool. i'd love to see an editor for it. i could make my own areas. now that would be cool as hell. also, i never quite know how to be with someone else in those situations. do we chat, do we fight, do we just wander around with awkward pauses wondering if we shld be saying something or doing something? am i hogging all the loot? do her legs really look like that? boy, how can she wear a green tunic with a red hat? so, it's a bit odd at times. still, it can be fun. i used to play dragon's gate on Genie with some friends and that was easy to be around folks in. there was lots of roleplaying in that.

i may yet have to go out today and get TW. i'm getting anxious to see the rest of it and beef myself up some more. i'm lvl 10 now and almost out of critters to fight. i even had to kill a townie yesterday (in the game i was caught theiving and couldnt pay). i went back to the town and the entire town came after me! lol. that was pretty mad. so i lured a couple of them outside the gates and killed one of them. firewall and backstab was about the only way i could do it. they give them almost impossible hit points

anyways, as you can tell, i'm an old gamer. been playing computer games since 1972 or so when we used to play on mainframes

I think that would be alot of fun!!!

ok, the local game stop has TW... $10 but, doesnt have the expansions. so, i may yet run over there today.

Thank you so much for the offer.....and I hope you are still there when I get a chance to try it!!!

I'll save the invite for you, Steve. If/when you can just let me know. It would be fun to have someone I actually know longer than I've known the game

btw, if steve or carl gets WoW and starts playing with you, then that may well force my hand to come join the fun

Whoohoo!

Wow, I could actually help you guys with quests so you can level faster too! I'd just send my big kitty in to help tank for you

oh, i have a question; does WoW have real time voice communications as opposed to just text chat? maybe at least with just your own party?

Yes they do, but sadly I don't have a mike set... but I do hear other players and still play so long as I'm not ignored

ok, foxxee, time to put or ... well, time to put up i havent been online yet with the game. just playing single player. but, what would i need to do to join a game with you? do i get to bring in my own, already developed character, or do we both start from scratch and i think i saw the box said up to 8 players at a time could play in one server, so, who makes the game and at what time and so on? also, i'm guessing you'd want this passworded, so we'd have to have that also.

let me know

Wow, ((((((((((Ahimsa))))))))))
I'm so glad you saw I was back... go right ahead and squish me again if you like...
hehehe, it's really good to see you again.

Oh and I need to let you and anyone else that was sending me emails to my Yahoo mail... I forgot my password and and log-in name, so I can't go and check things out there. Sorry about that. Even lost my huge collection of smiley icons too

After a major computer death and funeral I got a whole new setup with 24 inch flat-screen, gigs and gigs of space... well, lots of other nice things too. I think it was a sort of "we're sorry" gift for all I had gone through

Anyway, not to brag... I was hoping you took a peek at my Crochet filter? I thought of you when I came up with that... and Constantin and Sphinmorpher too... but mostly you because you started the whole 'lace' thing I remember

hehe, bel, well, i prolly wont be doing it here with TW. the saves are binary files and even though i have several hex editors, it's hardly worth the effort any more. besides, if i'm going to be playing online, i dont cheat in those. too easy to get caught and banned and it ruins things for others. i only cheat when it ruins things for me

so, foxxee, i got onto the servers yesterday. i patched to 1.6 and then patched again to 1.7. and apparently there's a new 1.8 patch coming out soon.

i've got a lvl 9 fire mage now online. i played in the main server, starting in the main town. i had one guy help me out in my first game. so i learned the ropes a bit there. it's not the same as single player. it's harder for newbies. making the first level was the hardest. he also gave me a couple items and showed me a few of the mechanics but he had to leave pretty quickly.

i also helped some guys out in town that were having troubles with hosting games. they could join but not host. one of the guys gave me two potions and some spells. the potions raised my hit points from about 3 or 4 hundred to over 3500! lol. so, who needs to cheat? the funny part is, i still die! rofl!

well, i played a while yesterday. i'm now lvl 9. i even fought dragons and stone golems. i say i fought, but it's more like i walked into death in a hurry

oh, and version 1.7 doesnt download on the automatic server update. you have to get it from their web site.

so, when ya comin in to join me?

yes, the lack of females chars is a bit odd. but, that's only in the single player. online seems to allow it. in fact, from what i've noticed, TW online is actively being supported and updated. this is good. it's when developers move on to new games that the old ones die.

The graphics and control layout looks awesome!!!

Alrighty!!! I will be honored to join forces with you!!! LOL....

foxxee,

when you enter multi, you've be in a town, tharbakin, i think. you cant enter or leave through a gate. you cant draw a weapon or anything. this is like the chat and set up area.

to start a game you hit f12. a window opens up and you pick your area to play there. if you want to allow others to join your game, just check the little box that refers to this. if you want to join someone else's game, those are listed to. just make all your choices and then hit f12 again. this will start your game or join you to one you've picked.

but, that's not the only requirements. you MUST be playing the same version as one you join and others must have the same version in order to join your game. also, if you host, you must tell your firewall to allow you to be a TW server. everyone that makes it through the network connections has at least the client approved on the firewall, but if you host, you must also allow your firewall to pass server transmissions to and from the game. in zone alarm, the game is listed under 'Two Worlds'. just scroll down to that listing and make sure the server side is enabled. for other firewalls, i dont know. check your docs for that.

and to enable actual voice communications with other players in the game, you'll have to pick the 'network' tab in 'settings' and run the audio test with a microphone plugged into your system. if the test comes out good, then you shld be good to go. oh, and i think there's a box you have to check, something like 'enable voice communications'.

as to times, i've got a 3 day weekend here, so any time is fine with me. what time zone are you in? i'm in central. so, i'll probably be in tomorrow sometime around 10 a.m. or noon or afternoon or sometime just pick one and we'll have a go (but dont tell steve; he hogs loot ).

which one are you getting tempted by though? WOW or the other thingy one that Craig went to play?

Yes, although the look of the WOW characters/Avatar's put me off, so never got further than signing up for demos of that. Plus like you I get addicted to them.

lol. it was only a matter of time. i saw one of those things in a google ad recently. it was like a virtual, online club where you could indulge in your fantasies using virtual people. so, sort of like the sims with an xxx rating, i guess. lol.
