Just received my copy of Drakan
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:52 pm
Hello everyone! Great to see that this website is still around. It seems to be dying, unfortunately.
Today I received my first REAL copy of Drakan: Order of the Flame. For all these years I've been enjoying borrowed or even illegal copies of the game, but finally I had the chance to get my hands on a legit one!
It was never used before, it even still had the plastic wrapping around it. Of course it no longer does ; ). I'm loving the box art and the lore in the manual.
I just noticed some irregularities, though.
For example, the manual mentions Orcs, but in the game I think they're called Grull? And on the box it says that there are boomerangs in the game. I've almost beaten the game twice, but I'm 100% positive I've never encountered such a weapon. Can anyone fill me in on this? Thanks.
I also happened to notice that <s>the 445++ patch removes multiplayer capabilities.</s> something has removed multiplayer capabilities(confirmed to be the case with any patch version of Drakan: Order of the Flame). It says that the network settings need to be checked. I'll see if I can figure out some sort of fix, and I'll keep you updated on this. Maybe we should get cracking and start polishing this game for as far as it is possible. At least until I feel confident enough that I'm ready to create my very own version of Drakan. Obviously it wouldn't be for sale, but at least I can give it a shot.
I hope to see the fans returning to this website until the end of time, since it would be a damn shame if this website and all knowledge of this game would vanish. ; )
I've joined the site twice before I think, but I can't remember my account details, save for the nicknames. You may remember me as either xX biohazard something(bleh, what a bad nickname) or NavarosTwin. Anyways, I'm back and hoping to brew some life into this awesome place .
Have a good one!
