I never played the game, so it's pretty easy for me to ignore it from every happening. ;D
I do know for sure that KQ9 considers the events of MoE to have happened. ::) In a way it's good, cuz I would like to know how its plot added to the KQ story. That is, if it had one. :suffer:
MoE sucked. Connor should be flattened by a mango-driven steamroller. FACT.

Why are you making KQ IX when there was no KQ VIII? ;D
It's like the Larry series - they're skipping a number :P
hahahah :D wtf hilarious, deal with it you all! :P
you know you'll see connor! :D
We know, and we regret it already :P
Quote from: mfortunato on November 02, 2003, 08:16:40 AM
MOE wasn't that bad of a game. It just wasn't a KQ game. And Connor, well, he's just an unfortunate victim.
:D GO MIKE GO!! :D

You got it all wrong. WE'RE the unfortunate victims here :P
Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Yeah, Mike, you really shouldn't be such a "Connor-phile", it makes all us Connorphobics look bad. :o
hahahahaaaaaaa mike is so freaking funnyy :D
Mike? Who is this Mike person?????? Is he someone I should get to know?
hahahah, omg ok now your freaking me out :P

ARRGGG!!! :o :o :o
MOE!! it's MOE I tell you >:( >:( >:(
LOL! I said respectful, not
rejectful. ;) <I know that's not a word, but it fits Connor quite well!>
Trust me, if this team was making MoE 2, I definitely wouldn't be on it. :)
LOL!! ;D
Don't worry, Yonkey. I didn't mean KQ9 is going to be another MOE. I was simply criticizing the fact that mfortunato chose to call MOE by it's KQ number, which should be unexceptable on this forum!! :P
Maybe you could set the language filter to covert that expression to MOE automatically 8)
hey neil careful what you spill out over here about the plot..... :-X
Nah, don't be careful. Spill away ;)
Well, we've redesigned Connor - he looks nothing like he did in MOE (happy? :P). And he's got a whole new personality. We have rebuilt him, made him faster, stronger, more LIKEABLE! ;).
How can you know Buffy and not know Boba Fett???? You've seen Buffy but not Star Wars???? Well, actually, I can understand. He didn't have a large part, but he had a cool costume. That's why he's become sort of a cultural icon here - and George Lucas complete F***ED him up by showing him as a kid - ruins his mystique. Oh, if you haven't seen the recent Star Wars movies, then you may want to keep it that way - they suck.
Ah, Connor will have brains now. That's certainly an improvement. :P
Indeed, even the slightest notion of wits will be a big improvement for Connor. :P
P.S. Only 30 more posts to go until my next level? Should be OK in about a week. 8)
I kind of wish I was a Silly Adventurer again. I like the name better than Devoted Knight. What's next on the list? Surly Duke? Hero-In-Training? Orko?
It's "Royal Heir" ;D
And now Cesar comes along and kills Kurt for giving away any info. ;)
Quote from: Kurdt on December 11, 2003, 01:41:35 AMThe way he talks to Alex, it's like you want the two of them to just throw down. It's awesome! Yes, you will actually be rooting for action to take place in a KQ game!
You know, I always wondered. If it's a "catfight" when it's between two women, what is it when it's two men? ;)
Peace & Luv, Liz
A dogfight? ;D
Quote from: Kurdt on December 11, 2003, 01:41:35 AM
Y'know, Storm and oldblushie, Connor is only as stupid as the person pulling his puppet strings. What does that say about you two? ;)
If you're gonna call me stupid, use the right name will ya? I don't blush red, I'm a green bush, think of it that way. ;)
yeah, yeah,
Watch it, Cris. We want to make this people suffer by not revealing nothing to them! :)

I like that idea. Of course, in order to keep with the technical meaning of a "dogfight", you'd have to stick the men in/on flying methods of some sort. Now there's an amusing mental image. ;D
Quote from: Storm on December 11, 2003, 07:43:49 AMA "tomcatfight", of course ;)
I like that idea, too. Not to mention, considering what one of the usual activities of a tomcat is, this would result in a proverbial "pissing contest". ;)

Quote from: Kurdt on December 11, 2003, 09:29:07 PM
Go ahead, feel like you've learned something about the game. You haven't. Cesar deleted all the stuff I wrote and replaced it with his own stuff. That's how he edits things. :P
HAHAHAHA!!, good one! hahah I didnt know that :D
Quote from: Kurdt on December 11, 2003, 09:29:07 PM
As for the two guys fighting thing, I believe it's called either a fight, a brawl, or a bru-haha. We're guys, we have to have cooler names for our battles. ;D
Bruh-haha?! hahaha thats a cool name :P ?! sounds like a cute babyword ;D !
Quote from: oldbushie on December 11, 2003, 07:31:42 AMA dogfight? ;D
/me wants to emphasize he can in no way be related to the animal called 'dog', even though technically he's a male.
Being animal-free, I prefer the word 'brawl'.
I'm guessing you've never played Mask of Eternity.
I dont consider that a king's quest ;B
It's a spin-off, but it's still going to be in KQ9. In other words, Conner's back. ;D
meh, I don't like connor :S
Grahams way better, and so is alexander..but Grahams my favorite 8)
I prefer playing as Gwydion/Alexander.
People had as big a problem with Gwydion, as they know have with Conner.

MoE sucked :-\, as a great fan of Adventure games and Action games i must say this ;D
MoE sucked as an Adventure and as an Action :-\, the only good thing about it was the fact that Connor was introduced :D :P

Everything that has a beginning has an end !!!
In other words we have the joy of killing him or seeing him die :D
Well, I'd rather have the joy of not seeing him in the firstplace ::)

Mask of Eternity Demo
Mask of Eternity Theme Pack (ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/sierra/kingsquest-moe/other/si_kingsquest_themepack.exe)
Connor's back !!!
EDIT (By Yonkey): The demo no longer exists on their ftp, but I fixed your theme pack link. 8)
*waits for Storm's wrath*
The demo doesn't work on Windows XP. At least, I couldn't get it to, and I wasn't willing to go to any great lengths to play it either. XD
Quote from: koko_99_2001 on July 08, 2004, 04:53:41 AM
*waits for Storm's wrath*
No wrath... I own a copy of the game myself, so I can hardly complain about anyone playing the demo. And if they want to use the theme pack, they can go right ahead - it's their eyes that suffer, not mine ::)
Thanks Yonkey. I'll try to find a working link, later.
QuoteNo wrath
That's good.
P.S. I've never played the game, just the demo. Right after I decided to buy the game(it was worth the price), they were removed from the store. I'm still looking for a copy, I think I'll have to buy it online.
You like MoE ???
Storm he needs some lessons ;B
I hated the demo of MoE--my brother played it, but I watched and that was MORE than enough damage to my retinae.
I prefer to play the KQs as Gwydion/Alexander...but I think Graham has a better name. 8)

I'm sure once he does he'll see the light ;-D

Well, I guess it could be called good in action game terms... to each his own and all that ::)
The story sucked from an Action perspective too IMO :-\

I'll have you know that I have forced Cesar to make Connor an integral part of the game!!! BWA HAA HAA HAA HAA!! Take that all you Connor haters!!!! Connor will save the day!!!! BWA HAA HAA HAA HAA HAA!!!
(We apologize for this outburst. Michael has again been sequestered and is receiving some special medical attention. He will be back with you all momentarily. And, we hope, he will be cured of this silly notion about Connor. Again, we here at the Unofficial KQIX team apologize for the views expressed by Michael. We here at the Unofficial KQIX team do not share those same feelings. Thank you very much for your understanding)
You can't silence me!!! I have a right to speak!!!!! They thought I took the medicine! They were wrong. I spit it out when they weren't looking. CONNOR FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!! No, CONNOR FOR KING OF DAVENTRY!!!!!!! CONNOR! CONNOR ! CONNOR! CONNOR!
("sounds of severe beating is heard and the sounds of screams die away into silence")
(The problem has been taken care of. We must take drastic measures with Michael. I am sorry that it has come to this, but he is obviously delusional. When next he posts, you find will him cured of this Connor fascination. Thank you for your patience).
NO!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
Who is left to carry on the fight!? ???
*looks around* :pokerface:
Don, it's just you and me now... :'(
CHARGE!! !! !! !! !! :evil:
*starts swimming toward Storm's PC, to save Connor*
:sneaky:
*releases the Sharks of Death to devour LN before he frees Connor* :suffer:
*sends Don after the defenseless sharks* :'(
*shows Don an 'endangered species certification' proving that the Sharks of Death are on the verge of extinction. Don is prohibited from harming or interfering with the SoD's wildlife patterns.*
*Don throws FataliOmega into the water, with his sharks*
*Fatali shows the sharks an 'endangered species certificate' proving that Fatali is on the verge of extinction. The sharks leave. THE END*
*Eats Connor and gets Dork Ability*
Tis beyond my reach! :suffer:
:evil:
*Knocks Jafar on the head*
*Jafar loses Connor*
I think thats the worst ability ever. >:(
If you knew how to use his abilitys, you'd do better.
P.S. Be nice to Conner, and you'll have to deal with Storm. Be mean to Connor, and you'll have to deal with me. :evil:
In other words, a catch 22. XD
The trick is to IGNORE Connor and give out no comment. Connor Ability? I'd say that its non-descript.
*Wants to become a "Defender of All things Connor"* :D

racx is my new best friend(see his signature) !!!
LOL! :D
Isnt it beautiful :D, adding Connor to it is the best thing i ever did ;), beside that quote of Cats that i had there ;D, that quote was better than this but i had to change it for a good cause :(
Anyone else for the cause!? ;D
By the way racx, you're invited to the celebration too.
Letter4 (http://www.postudios.com/archivedTSL/library/letters/letter4.html)
Too bad the date's wrong. :(
Im going to that celebration :D, now all i have to do is create something that teleports us into the game world ;D
That's possible!? :D

QuoteI'm conditioning him
Your trying to turn him into a Connor hater!
He'll never be guided to betray Connor!
Never!
Yes he will, there is still good in him! I can feel the conflict.
Yeah, so can anyone who tried to keep up with racx's opinion of MOE :P
He hasn't decided yet himself, so it's up to us to help him make the right decision :)
Away from him, LN!! :evil:
Jafar, why are you taking Storm's side? Didn't you see what she did to the poor gopher? ???
Oh, that's why. ;B
racx has made his decision.

They will soon(I assume they'll be playing the game).
Then they'll <3 Connor. XD
LOL! Well, maybe my sister might play it since she did say "Ooooh, what's that? :D" when I was testing a kq9 build. XD
BTW, MOE (Mask of Eternity) is KQVIII even though it does not seem like it.
Playing what game? KQ9?

Actually, my brother does know what MOE is, but he wouldn't be caught dead playing such a lame-ass action game. It's hard to say this about someone who plays GTA, but he has better taste than that :P

Other than the title of them, I see no mention of KQVIII.
Sierra never DENIED MOE :stabs: :stabs: :stabs: was KQVIII... they just marketed it as KQ: MOE so it wouldn't repel gamer who haven't played the rest of the KQs.

I kept an eye during the last year or so of production. They not only denied it, they put a great deal of effort into saying it wasn't a sequel. If they went any farther pointing that out, they would have had to call it a spin-off. Which is what I consider it anyways. XD
They didn't *deny* it was #8 in the series... they simply said it wasn't a sequal because it isn't - it's not related to the other KQs (ie, doesn't continue their plotline).
What? don't look at me like that... I'm the first to jump on the 'MOE isn't a real KQ' bandwagon. Heck, I think I even started a thread by that name a while back ::)
How do you become the next game in a series, without being a sequel? ???
Here's the way I look at it.
ES Timeline (http://www.elderscrolls.com/index.php)
There were two games, put outside the main series. They each were supposed to be the start, of another series.
Results=three different series, same gameworld, same name.
The Elder Scrolls series(RPG)
The Elder Scrolls Adventures series(Action/Adventure)
The Elder Scrolls Legend series(Multiplayer/RPG/Action)
That's the way I look at the KQ games. All were part of the main series, with the exception of Mask of Eternity.
However, KQ IX will get back to the basics of being KQ --- right
In case people think I have no idea what I'm saying, because I've never played the game....
I've played the demo, and unless that was the best part of the game, I think I'd like the game. I'm still looking for a copy too. :(
As far as why I never bought it, it's the same reason it took me a few years to get KQIV(no, it wasn't because of Rosella). I just happend to miss it. :(
*continues looking for MoE*
Quote from: Louisiana Night on September 06, 2004, 03:54:11 PMThat's the way I look at the KQ games. All were part of the main series, with the exception of Mask of Eternity.
You could look at it whichever way you want... the important thing is how Sierra labeled it. And if you have any doubts about that, just click on the above link to their website again ::)

I don't think you have no idea what you're saying...
But when someone goes about hyping a game so much when he hasn't even played it himself, some people may think he's only doing it to get a rise out of certain other people ::)
I normally decide I like a game(from a demo), 2-3 years before I buy it(it's normally FAR cheaper by then).
