Is anyone else still interested?
« on: December 01, 2006, 09:23:47 PM »
The only thing that deters me from playing on our realm is that nobody else is ever on. Is anyone else still interested?

And for those of you who don't know, Seven Lances has its own personal ... breach of the EULA.

I am still interested, I just don't have the time for it. And as you are saying, nobody else is there, and the major fun in RPG is tagging along with others. The best times I had was when we were at least 3-4. Heck, MrAnderson walked ALONE through hardcore nightmare. I can't figure how he did it. That's an achievement. I know I would not have dont it all alone.

And since we are very few players, scattered among a couple time zones, good timing is also hard to achieve. That's a sad thing to say, but venturing on battlenet with standard Diablo with heaps of cheaters and pkers, and sometimes meeting good people now seems more attractive than playing a good mod by myself on an empty server once populated by a cheerful community.

And I really wish Dave had found out this mod WAY before, when many people were playing.

That's my opinion.

While I might be tempted to play there are a few reasons I probably won't be playing anytime soon.

1) I'm fairly busy with other things. KoL uses up a lot of my time right now and while I'm trying to find ways to spend less time on KoL it's still more fun than Diablo 2 for me right now.

2) The bugs in 1.09d frustrate me. Bishi and MSLE are the bad ones. I think I killed Belial (is that the right name?) 50 times and haven't gotten the cow level item to drop yet on the realm.

3) The server has problems. I won't go into the details but suffice it to say that it take a lot away from the gameplay when the server is lagging.

I've gotten some new RAM for the server, hopefully that should help.  (Need to find time to install the things!)

It makes me sad to think about what we once were.  =(

Oh, we should try to make a Diablo II night where we all get on and try to play together.  =)

*gets out his diablo game and starts to install* If you do have a Diablo II night I would you mind if a n00b joined?

Can Zaranthos the barbarian play with the newbies. He's only level 100. :P

Only problem is I'd have to delete the MOD I have installed now or figure out how to get SevenLances to run with 1.1x installed. Probably not gonna do that anytime soon. Too busy in KoL at the moment. :)

Okay, i've managed to get a cheap (not cheap as in illegal free, but as in cheap) copy of diablo 2, so as soon as i can get broadband, i will give it a go.

I'd love to be part of the Diablo II Seven Lances mod frenzy revival.
Let's hope a lot of people can play at the same time, let's say, once a week could be enough.
Of course, you can play all you want, but I agree we could make a "once per week" peak of friendship.

You're in luck! There is a way to do such a thing! You need to to replace all of the DLLs and the EXEs plus the MPQ from the older version (1.09d), then install our mod. So find the old file versions (which I just happen to have) and swap them before installing and then every time you'd like to play Seven Lances™. I even have a premade batch file that would aid you in moving files.

Attach the batch file to a message and the required 1.09 files that aren't included with 7L. If I have the file list and the missing file(s) that 7L didn't replace I can make something newer that works with 1.1x and maybe just include it with the stash/cube patch or something. Well, if I have time sometime. :)

The forum only allows a maximum of 128k per attached file, so I just uploaded a zip file to my webspace.
I've sent you a PM of where to find it, Zaranthos.
