Re: Finding, Installing, and playing Drakan.

Hi there you could join our discord group https://discord.gg/nCMrU4p for help installing it but if you don't want to I'll list the basic step by step instructions below. First of all you will need the original game CD. If you have downloaded it from my abandonware it will likely be a CD image if it'...

Re: Playing Drakan for the first time. A few questions

Hi there, welcome to the forums and nice to see someone else enjoying this game. To answer your questions - the ice crystals are supposed to freeze any enemies which come close but the effect is not very good and often you have killed your enemy with your sword by the time they freeze. I never used ...

Hi there, good to see you like the site and are still enjoying the game. As for the site's future, I'm going to renew the domain for another year then perhaps move it to my personal webspace.

Re: First time player + Some questions

There was a long discussion on our discord server about the copyright. Duncan who worked at Surreal frequents the discord server and even he wasn't sure where we would stand from a legal standpoint. Drakan is still owned by Sony and although the remake would not be sold and require the original game...

Re: First time player + Some questions

I've played Drakan: The Ancient's Gates a few times and as Shoprat says it has a high replayability value. I was disappointed that it didn't come to the PC much like the rest of the community but that was due to Sony's decision to stop making PC games and concentrate on the new PS2. Psygnosis was al...

Re: Slow forum and spam posts

Russia and Ukraine added to list of spam countries due to recent spam registrations. Legitimate visitors should not be affected but you will see a brief browser check pop up when you first visit the site. This checks to see if the user is a real person or a spambot like Xrumer. You need to have Java...

Re: Slow forum and spam posts

Well the attacks from China have resumed even worse than before. A Captcha is now enforced for the entire country so legitimate users can still access the site but automated spamming / brute force attacks cannot.

Re: Slow forum and spam posts

I placed a ban on all known China ISP's for a few weeks due to a DDOS attack and spam flooding. I've changed it so that genuine users are able to get through now. EDIT: upon unbanning China the site was overloaded again. Now I understand that banning the whole country was too drastic but I had to do...

Re: Drakan revive

How are you going to handle the multiplayer? Game world servers would be required for the best way to do it rather than someone hosting a game.

The fallen age could be a good time period; there's 600 years of unwritten history there. No dragons though.

Re: Drakan revive

There's a remake by Yangez93 and a engine re-write by Zalassus but those are not web based and are far from finished. What you are suggesting sounds a good idea as it isn't a remake but could be a spin off set in the Drakan world. I'd suggest something set in the Dark Wars or maybe during the order'...
