UXO: Odyssey has been cancelled. The sad news is that those losers will come
to our UO.

Oh Man, You have never played Morrowind? You poor deprived man!

It's a very good game and the graphics on it are just stunning. I
would LOVE to see the game made into a MMORPG. It would be a superb
background!!!

How long did it hold your attention for? I find I get bored too easily with
solo games and end up back at UO. Dungeon Siege amused me for a time, but
became very samey after 2 dungeons! I've heard good things about Morrowind,
and I liked Daggerfall, its buggy older brother.

I didn't make it out the Customs Office before I got bored. After a
bloody hour generating my character and jumping all the hoops they
gave me between getting off the boat and leaving the Customs office,
there was some gizmo laying on a table that I tried to pick up and
have a look at. I was promptly threatened with hanging for trying to
steal. I said, "Screw it, if the rest of the game is like this, I
don't need it.", quit the game, and uninstalled it.

Right you are Arch. They usually don;t hold my attention very long.
From time to time I will fire it up and play with it for a while. Once
you know some of the work-arounds and cheats the game isn;t as much
fun.... But I enjoy just looking a tthe scenery and wishing that there
could be groups of people wandering around this fantastic world!

You didn't miss much. The entire plot consists of two things - get an
item from one guy, use it to defeat the Foozle. 99.9% of the game is just
random dungeons (well not actually rnd generated like Daggerfall but
nearly so) and cardboard NPCs.

I think it only gained popularity because a new generation of games got to
see a first person game that wasn't just a shooter for the first time.
It's too bad they didn't get their hands on Gothic or even U9 first.

Anyhow, this topic ought to go over to csipgr.

Morrowind, the game where you must submit to a cavity search during
character creation.

This is an online game or single? I look at the WoW. Looks like EQ
with better graphics. I might try it when it hits, Ipretty picky and
would like to switch from that view to the UO view. I just didn't
like EQ and I tried it twice.

It would be good to find a game that really used the power of the pc I spent
too much on last year! Although sweet graphics are no substitute for decent
gameplay, I'd like to play smething that looks good and plays well, which
isn't a FP shooter. Having said that, I might buy half-life 2 if it ever
emerges, the first was immersive and atmospheric.

It was a single player game from Bethesda Software. First came Arena,
then came Daggerfall, then came The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind (plus the
Tribunal and Bloodmoon add-ons).

Didn't World of Warcraft already come to market? From the various web
comics, I thought it was already out.

Still in Beta, but full release is not far off. Last I read they just
unlocked all but 1 race for the beta players so I'm thinking its getting
pretty close to complete. Lots of good press coming from that direction, and
Blizzard does do top notch stuff. Could be good.... Could be Veeerrrryyy
good....

According to the web site it's still beta and beta is closed. They
are about to open beta apps for Europe.

You could probably get vital info by emailing someone at LLTS.
Apparently they have retired from EQ and another game and will only
be participating in UO and WoW.
