Sorry, no aprilfools joke this year

Post by Dominus »

We are truly sorry, but due to lack of planning we can't provide you with a joke this year.
But if you like you can take another look at last years joke:

I must admit that we *really* messed up and there are *no* April Fool's
jokes relating to exult. Not one. So any news you see here you can quite
happily believe.

Sorry for the let down.

You almost gave me a heart attack last year with that one...
Hehehe. Still a golden one. Good job.

Tell me, how much hate-mail got sent to that link? I'm serious about this.

I feel pretty dumb now as I was told about Exult last year... right around the beginning of April. When I came to the site, I read that message. I was pretty ticked off, so I gave up on playing SI ever again. I stumbled onto the site about a year later (this past March) when looking for help in trying to get it to run again and saw that the message was gone... FINALLY reading that it was an April Fool's joke. Talk about a good---BAD--joke!

I think you guy's may've turned away a ton of people with that one. I just said the hell with it for about a year. I didn't want to play it THAT badly.

oh, my... talk about a good joke ending up pretty bad. I'm sorry for spoiling your Ultima 7 fun for over a year.
This was really not intended...

No problem Dominus... it's certainly taught me to pay much closer attention to what I read around the beginning of April. I'm not usually that dense, but it was worded so well, I believed it... no matter how unlikely my common sense told me it was.

Believe it or not, when I came back a few months ago, I initially thought the deal had fallen through or that a seperate project was being developed. Looking back, now I'm laughing about my idiocy... just as I'm sure the regulars are laughing at me right now! :-D

I'm just glad I took the time to come back and check it out a second time. And all I can say to the development team is... THANK YOU! Your efforts are truly appreciated.
