Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live
Well, I've had a look at the game, but thus far I'm slightly disappointed with the lack of description in it, it's just you encountered an X and rolled an X nowhere near the richness of the zork games i've played. I'll carry on with it for a bit though, just in case this is an initial problem, afterall there are lots of areas I stil can't get to. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live
Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed myself, its kind of like dragon tavern without the originality. The sub locations don't even have descriptions. Pretty much looks like a dragon tavern ripoff, battle system, skills, even the perks aside from naming are the same. Seems rather hardcore number oriented, which isn't what I was expecting, and the strategy element is weird. I'll probably play it for a while, but it'll get old just like every other number cruncher out there. -- From: dark d...@xgam.org Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 2:11 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live Well, I've had a look at the game, but thus far I'm slightly disappointed with the lack of description in it, it's just you encountered an X and rolled an X nowhere near the richness of the zork games i've played.

I've got half a mind to actually send them a report, sinse it's obviously stil in developement, and they've got such a rich lot of backstory to make locations, characters and all the rest out of.

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live
Kingdom of Loathing is supposed to keep you entertained for just a few minutes ad ay as well, and they have an entire plot, backstory and exploration system. This one's seriously a rebuilt version of dragon tavern, almost looks like they got the source code from the DT guys. I'll still play now and again cause I admit I've got a bit of an ego for power so I can sometimes get into number crunchers, but yeah, this totally isn't zork. I hope one of the first things they work on is balance, right now it seems there's one, and only one way to get far in the game, and it takes a very spacific strategy to pull off. I've hit level 11 and I'm getting pretty solidly rocked by monsters that I should be able to at least stand up to, with a decent defense and a high attack roll. -- From: shaun everiss shau...@xtra.co.nz Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 7:55 PM To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live well they did say that they will develop it more as it goes along, its not supposed to keep one in for more than 20 mins a day its not really a long winded thing. anyway this is only 1.0 or whatever it is so I am sure they are still taking in suggestions, and this is only day 1 of the system.

Re: [Audyssey] [Spam] legends of zork is live
I'm roundly disappointed, coming from such a major backstory based influence as szork I was expecting more in the way of description, hay, even KoL has more description in combat (pluss manual combat which I always find more interesting). I've played for a while and am level 7, but unless I find more content in the game I can see myself dropping this one in short order. Beware the Grue!

The map is certainly functional enough for us as the locations near enough to travel to are properly labelled. Exploration doesn't rely on seeing anything. You just click on the explore the dark forest or a similar link in order to search an area and have encounters. It's a lot like Legend of the Green Dragon in that regard. I hope those who are interested will try out this new browser based online game and take the time to send feedback to the developers. Happy adventures, everyone.
