Forgive me. Of course I am hopeful, and I apoligize if I threw a wet blanket on your exuberation. However, reality will set in about the 30th time you ax the guy at Best Buy if they have the new Wizardry, and he tells you he's never heard of it.

I really really like the series. Except for Return of Werdna. Playing the bad guy, and going backwards out of the dungeon was just plain goofy. And the stupid code books you had to read out of everytime you started sucked, too.

I was also disappointed with the import functions on this latest series. I had saved my characters faithfully since Cosmic Forge. In Crusaders, I made an Uber team. Called em my swim team. If anyone remembers, there was an ocean you had to get a boat across. And it really spoiled that portion of the plot if someone, say me?, took every member of their team into uber-swimming. One step into the river, and then back out, until the stats were up to 100. We could actually swim across the ocean in that one. All maxed out stats in every category, and I get some silly error message saying they can't be imported? That sucked.

It's been 15 years or so, but I don't think I had that problem with Cosmic Forge. I know I didn't going from Proving Grounds to KoD and Llgamyn. (And that was 20 years ago)

I know I should probably start a new thread, but did anyone else try to import and fail? It's a moot point now, as I've solved the new game some time ago, but I'd be interested in trying again if there were someone out there with advice for the barely computer literate.

My hope is that the new game is released soon enough that the media that I've saved these characters on isn't obsolete.
