I had the same happened to me, Neb. Well, except for the spell backfiring part!
I am hoping that in the demo at least, he must stay alive. ;)
You're right about the music too. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I doubt that this will be a game where the music haunts me in my sleep!

I don't think so, Neb, that's going to be it's one drawback...it'll be like Wizards & Warriors for that. Wiz 9 was going to be multiplayer, but Sir-Tech has scrapped that (sigh).

So the thing about Sir-Tech going out of business is true? Or are they just giving up on something extremely popular that would probably sell really well for no reason at all?

I am worried about whether or not I'll be allowed to get the game though. San Antonio's job market is in bad shape and the company Rex works for just layed off 10% of its work force a couple of days ago. He is the only person in the company who did not get a pay cut to boot. He is valuable to them, but if they can't keep their heads above water, he may be unemployed before Thanksgiving, which means no Wiz 8 for me until I can buy it used. :(

I love the demo too! I may not be right in here with everyone else playing it as soon as it is released, but you know, I'll eventually get my hands on it! [img]smile.gif[/img] <hr></blockquote>

I'm sorry to hear about that, Moni! Yes, things are tough all over, and the economy is still taking a beating for it. I'm lucky I'm working 40+hour teaching assignments right now (which amounts to a 60+ hour week) to get the extra money I need.

Check on Ebay after a bit...and also, prices tend to come down on the games right before the holidays (during the sales) ;) I got Wizards and Warriors back in October 2000 on a "special promotion" sale price of $30, when it was normally selling for $50...and that was only two weeks after its release. You just gotta keep an eye open for the bargains!

Anyway, best of luck, and I hope you can find a good price on Wiz 8 fairly quickly!

Cheers,

Thank you Saz!
Rex told me this morning if it isn't over 50.00 (not including tax) we can probably afford it the day it is released! He feels pretty secure with his job and we afford ourselves no luxeries these days so as long as he is still employed come the 15th, I'll most likely have it new! That will be so exciting! Getting to play the game new with everyone else! I always seem to have gotten my games in the past a month or two late and by the time I found message boards, all of my problems were solved! It seemed too easy LOL! I am looking forward to the challenge and the option of so many different character-types to play!
