Stochastic Assassination Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Spiderweb's first Ikonboard first opened on March 24, 2001. Today marks these forums' 18th birthday. We're grownups now, and it's time to put aside childish things and focus on the important stuff, like escaping from caves, fighting tyrannical regimes, and optimizing character builds. —Alorael, who will take a moment to remember some good threads long past and some people, now moved on to pastures with better themes, who are hopefully doing well.

WolfSpider Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Geeze some of you people are old... I do not celebrate birthdays, only funerals... To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Randomizer Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 It is really old in Internet years. Maybe we should considering retirement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dintiradan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I was about to post champagne.jpg, but then I remembered that these are American forums. More for the rest of us, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WolfSpider Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Remember when kids actually wanted to go outside and play all day with friends and you had to threaten them to come in for dinner? Now you have to threaten them just to go outside for an hour and they feel like you are unfairly punishing them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edgwyn Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 18 years is certainly a long time for a business to still be around (and yes, I know Jeff started publishing games earlier than 2001). It is still essentially the same product with minor tweaks. Is Spiderweb Software a car company or Microsoft? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In recent years, maybe, but I don't think "minor tweaks" accurately describes the evolution between 1994 and 2004, which saw three radically different engines and combat models, as well as two unique scenario creation engines, that were not much like anything else by SW (or by anyone else).

And Queen's Wish looks like it's going to be the biggest jump in design between Spiderweb games in almost 20 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WolfSpider Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) We talking about the same Dark Castle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4-7mWeY_Cs If you don't like to click on links, look on YouTube for AVGN Dark Castle.

Salt Monolith Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I don't think anyone in this thread was talking about any Dark Castle, actually 😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stochastic Assassination Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 I think we are talking about the same Dark Castle, just not here. —Alorael, who isn't talking about Dark Castle at all, or at least wasn't until just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VCH Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I wonder how many years more Jeff wants to do this? Edited April 8, 2019 by VCH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cairo Jim Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 H yes, like way back in the glory days of Misc when a lot of us were awkward teens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xaiya Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Sheesh, to think I joined this forum when it was only about 6 years old. I've been on here over half it's life! Does that make me an oldbie now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darkdread Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I hope there is still a lot of life for Spiderweb and its games, human and Internet years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
