At first glance I got the feeling this was related to creationism. However, the article seems to be suggesting the latest date than an ancestor to every modern person exsisted.

Yes but in those days, MMO was still a very fresh concept. These days, many games support MMO and MMOs are overrun by spoilt kids with parents who can't be bothered to deal with them.

Very true, MMOs would garner more respect if wasn't for those negative sterotypes.

Very cool, did anyone notice the streaker?

Well if you download it after they've released a patch for it(which IA has been talking about), then yes there would be less bugs.

Well that would of been 1999? People probably weren't as cynical about MMOs back then, and I doubt Lori fully understood the ramifications of a QFG MMO(ie: It'd be alot like Silverbolt described).

Or seeing how Sierra is long-dead, it could be just about the money. 

Well that's the funny thing, even if is just about the money, what money is there? Sierra selling collections of their old games would be a drop in the bucket compared to selling modern mainstream titles. They also don't seem to be interested in creating new games off of these old licenses... probably because adventure games aren't high profit titles.

I think a good example of this is KQ9. Vivendi was impressed enough with it to let it survive(it doesn't tarnish reputation at all), they could have made a rule that the finished KQ9 would only be sold by Vivendi and not a free download. They didn't do this, probably because they consider it a niche title.

Oijl, you have to understand, this site is teetering on the legality scale, and giving you a link to an illegal download is just the kind of thing that could sink this project with a C&D letter. We can't help you get an illegal copy. I'm sorry, but you'll have to ask someone else.

Even without the risk of C&Ds, this site could still be shutdown for having links to illegal software.

Thy keep the rights in case they wish to profit from it in the future, and to prevent others from profiting at their expense. It's also a way to safeguard their reputation, since they don't allow others to make what might be of inferior quality and tarnish their reputation.

Well that's the logical explantion. My cynical explanation is that companies like to horde their copyrights, no matter how insignificant these copyrights have become.

I've certainly downloaded KQ3, but I intend to wait for the voice pack which is due next week, before I play it.

Wow I never expected to see this. It's sad to see you go Swift.

I couldn't hear the 2nd clip without turning up my speaker alot. I can't hear the buzzing in the 1st clip. Dammit I'm 21 and have taken good care of my hearing.

Interestingly enough, these teenagers are unintentionally being courteous by having a ringtone that doesn't disturb adults.

Very cute, but the guy who made this video must be nuts to let the kitten bat at the LCD screen. What if kitty decides to whip out his claws when playing with the screen?

I like the new look, feels very warm and inviting. Also the usage of empty/full glasses of beer for forums with/without activity is an awesome idea!

I'm still a wee bit skeptical. Saying that voice is just the dimensions of our head and throat seems too simplistic. I'd think our minds would have an effect on how we use our vocal cords. Not just accent, but our voice in general.

So voice is mainly determined by the dimensions of the neck and head?

So I was thinking about this amateur adventure game I played awhile back, Five Magical Amulets. I only found out about it because I just happened to browse the Tierra game making forum at the right time and saw it mentioned. I'm not sure how many Hero6 visitors have heard of it, so I thought I should mention it. Since it's such a well made amateur adventure game I felt it shouldn't slip through the cracks. Definitly for people who liked the Kings Quest series.
