Title: Welcome to the new Phoenix Online Studios Forums!
Post by: Graham of Daventry on June 26, 2010, 01:51:49 PM
Greetings and salutations!

First off, I wanted to thank you for saving me and my family for the second time, and for allowing us to be reunited with our precious fans again. It's sure been a long time! Now it's time to grab that adventurer's hat and journey once more.

All of the information from the old forums has been migrated to this new forum (or will be soon), from usernames and profiles to all of your old posts. The posts from the old forums can now be found in The Royal Archives, which are now read-only.

Have a look around, make some new friends, and let's have fun together!

King Graham of Daventry

Just had to visit to say CONGRATULATIONS to the team and everyone who's supported them in the long, dark struggle.

This is a true moment of VICTORY for genuine gamers everywhere, and dare I say, for decent, creative, dedicated fans everywhere. For every great project shut down without cause, for everyone hit with a lawsuit rather than hired for their dedication and creativity, for every profit-driven asshat corporate giant squeezing out one more bland and uninspired sequel in name only... this one's in the win column for US!

Again, congratulations, guys and gals... although a "lurker" over all these years (right from the start, believe it or not!) I honestly never thought you'd make it to the finish line with such massive hurdles. Damn fine show proving me very, very wrong... I'm grinning like a loon just typing this, I'm that happy for you all.

Sure, us KQ/TSL fans will get to play a great adventure game (and for free; foolish Activision/Vivendi: I'd have gladly paid for this!), but the REAL reward is for the creative team, who's hard work will stand out there forever. You can't UNrelease a game once it's out, and I look forward to TSL being immortal online forever, a testament to what fans can do if they "never say die".

Oh... and hey, I sure don't mind waiting for episodes to be released, but make sure they come out before anything else happens! :P (j/k)

Someone once said "faith manages". You've all done far, far more than just "manage"... :)

I don't know about everyone else, but with as many times as I've completed KQ3 and KQ5, I'm pretty sure I've saved you and your family more than twice... ... ...or... do those not count because of all the times I watched you die hilariously? It's the deaths, isn't it? Well, glad that's cleared up.

Post by: atec123 on June 30, 2010, 10:26:53 AM
there was this dude I was talking to via PMs a while ago (I think a couple days after the announcement.... so in march I guess.), and he thought the whole thing was a trick.  Like they weren't even working on a game, and when it comes near time to release it, they make up a problem.  a crazy claim, considering all that has happened.  lets just say if you were doing that, you would be evil geniuses.... seriously, that would take a lot to pull that off for 10 years.

I have a feeling that that was beernutts in disguise.......
:P

anyway, my thoughts still remain the same.  New forum=nice, but it still doesn't feel right.  I will get used to it though.

also why phpBB over SMF?

haha.... you are right.

I was tired... and hadn't used a phpBB forum in a while.  for some reason I thought it looked more phpBB ish.

I prefer SMF by far. (for managing it a least)  for using it, just whichever is setup better.

In a manner of speaking, the 5th floor is now the basement, as the movers seem to have located it in the Archives, whilst the 5th floor was nowhere ready to be archived (yet).

If it was all a ruse I wonder what the beta-testers have been beta-testing then. Seeing as how I once belonged to that group my official answer is :suffer:
