Look right -----> It's April Fools!

[Colourless]

*Know* that not all is at it seems.

The Important Announcment was all an April Fool's Joke done by us. None of it is true, there is no deal with EA or anthing. Exult is still open sourced... in fact nothing at all has changed.

OMG, you scared the hell out of me. (Although I DID think the GPL prevented it from happening anyway)

Now I just feel stupid, though. I suppose I didn't consider it was an April Fool's joke because I first saw it at about 2am today and it didn't really register in my mind what day it was.

[Jonathan]

me too

It wasn't even midnight when I saw it. So, in a mad panic I grabbed the cvs of exult and pentagram, then I looks at the irc logs by exultbot. LOL. pure evil. http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~wpalenst/exultlog.php3

I, of course, am Nuclear. Look at [06:34:39]


I'm shocked I didn't think about it earlier, I even knew it was April 1, since my father's birthday is today. Pain is good thing.

You guys back out of this joke too quickly.. should've run it for a good week or so... hell, maybe even until 1.0 comes out, that way you could work on heavy development without as much hassle from users. (Aside from the ones accusing you of selling out)

but wow, Feb 12! That's a long time to scheme up a joke like this. Well, once again, you certainly brought a smile to my face.

[Dominus]

actually we totally forgot about our planned joke until the 29th but then things got rolling fast enough. Problem with April 1st jokes are that April 1st starts for some people a LOT sonner than for others.
I think the time we had it up was long enough for most especially if you consider that April 1st jokes should be "lifted" at around noon or so.
We certainly enjoyed it but also hope that everyone forgives us and doesn't stay mad
See you next year around!

[Nuclear Loser]

LOL. Read the "Avatar" section on the log that Artaxerxes posted. It starts [17:29:31] and continues to the end of the log. This is what I'm talking about, funny as hell, but these guys deal with this all day from users. (and it can get tiresome.)

"Exult Studio SDK - $149.95... Exult stand alone box - $39.95 ... Casting Armageddon on an Exult multiplayer server without a bug fix to let other players live.....
PRICELESS" - example advertisement... what do you think?

[Ambrose]

Oh....
Last evening, when I said it, it is terrible.
I am afraid that exult team leave us alone.

I always browse this page, and this discussion room.
But this is my first time to post here.

[Soul Harvester]

grrr, and here I was, putting my ExultEA cap and camping babbages!!!

How I do hate april fool's lies. Yes, lies. I didn't see a single 'joke' at all yesterday. This day is just pissing me off more and more each year. Especially when I still have to put up with the lies and crap on the 2nd of april as well when you american's finally catchup with the rest of us.[/rant]

So was that page just wishful thinking, or a well thought out april fool's lie?



/me throws some black pearl, blood moss, garlic, ginseng, mandrake root, nightshade, spiders silk and sulfurous ash at everyone and screams:

VAS KAL AN MANI IN CORP HUR TYM!!!!!!

Bah Humbug! Wait! That's christmas! @!#$. Sorry I ruined christmas this year by killing every living thing.

[Real Fool]

What the...
I believed that...

LOL

Haha I'm a fool T_T

[Dominus]

MV: Sorry we have disturbed you. We still see it as a joke not a lie though. And actually it is not much wishfull thinking only a well thought out joke.
Don't be mad at us!

[XxVenomxX]

Just grin and bear it I thought it was great, hehe.

[kiler]

Since EA now have it how much is exult going to cost?
$100?
Are you also going to be doing ultima 9 in the exult engine but keeping it in 3d?

[Nuclear Loser]

kiler? Did you miss something or was that a joke?

[XxVenomxX]

Maybe some people dont know what April Fools is?

[MV]

Ah! I feel better now!

It's the 3rd here today. So that means that the 1st is really over and done with.

BTW, if that HAD been true, I would have bought it for sure.

Seriously, have you guys approched EA about doing this sort of thing?

But on the other hand, wait until it's almost done, THEN propose to them. We all know how hard EA pushes for time and stuff has to be left out.

XxVenomxX, that's what I was ranting about. I didn't see a single joke at all over the last 2 days. Think of when bart took homer's beer to the paint store and put it in the paint shaker.

Me loose brain? hahahahaha. Why I laugh?

kiler, why u9? It works fine under windows. That it being a windows program helps too.

[kiler]

I was only kidding
