I read that the rights to the Arcanum name were sold to another company. This hopefully means that somebody will develope a sequel.... i said it wasn't official.......

Would be cool to see a sequel to that game. I suppose you don't remember the source where you read it?

I believe i read it in a copy of Platform PC Magazine. It was about .... gheeze... 6 months ago now... several issues ago. Like I said, it was nothing official. More of a gossip collom.

Ah, I remember Arcanum. Really awesome game. I even tried making a pnp version with a group of mine a long time ago, it worked for awhile - yet we all got bored and went off to play Frogger or something (Yes, very boring life we led) anyway - yeah, Arcanum 2 would have been great, there was actually a Yahoo group that supposedly was working on a 'mod' for it, but it was just that - a mod just labeled as "Arcanum 2", really didn't catch my interest even though I was asked to be on the design team. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. You may be able to find some information on the mod they're making if you look hard enough - honestly, I say just let it rest in peace.

As for your question, I did play Arcanum online a few times when I had dialup *shudders* it was laggy and slow. Now that I havd DSL it may be different, but I haven't tried.

As Long as we're on the subject, Mad-E-fact, i find your avatar
kind of inappropriate. kind of sick.

I like Arcanum at least for a little bit, after I get halfway through it though I start getting tired of it, I wish they had a little more variation in it so I could replay it.
Plus after my 100th ailing wolf they become really tedious LOL

I agree the combat got very repetitious. Knocking yourself out all the time didn't help either.

I like Mad-E-Fact's Avatar. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :-)

I was under the impression that Arcanum was the subject of this thread. Nevertheless, it saddens me greatly that you find my avatar to be inappropriate. I shall do my best to find one that's more to your liking.

Did anyone actually ever finish Virgil's quest? I couldn't help either killing him or winning every time I got close to beating it.....

installed on my pc so if someone want to share a play
