POLL: Why did you go looking for this board?

Wyvern · 11-21-2001, 10:16 AM

Reading some of the posts this morning (while taking a break from painting up a dozen BC X-mas signs for a raffle this coming weekend) reminded me of the reason I first came looking for a help board.

I was having difficulty getting my Paladin quest recognized even though I knew I had done the correct things. Ends up my problem was simply that I wasn't waiting for the Temple dude to finish talking. Still think that you shouldn't have to wait for them to finish talking but that's the way it is!

So why did you come looking for a W&W help board?? And how did you find this particular help board?

Well, I was looking for help in the Serpent Temple... I was hopelessly lost... And then I found the board. Put me right back on track!
And I have to say, this is THE BEST board on the net. I haven't come across a better group of people [img]smile.gif[/img]

I came here to post the INN gold cheat in the unpatch version. However, someone beat me to it by about 2 hrs [img]smile.gif[/img] (that was on the IW website), then, I just started to read the forum to explore things that I missed [img]smile.gif[/img]

I found this site to help me get through the serpent temple. I didn't know what to do with the press in H'Tharks prison area. I had a flask on the grill but needed a little hint. It worked! This forum is great! I found it through a link from the Activision web site.

I'm about the same as most... I needed help and got too impatient to continue stumbling around.

Great idea for a poll Wyv!
Actually, the reason for me finding this board is a deep respect for DW Bradleys tricky puzzles. It goes back to Wizardry 7, which I had to give up beacause it was too difficult. And when the DOS version of that game was released I didn't have an Internet connection.

The first time I got really stuck in this game (and I mean it literally), was when my party couldn't get through the tunnel to get the Serpent's Idol in the Serpent Temple. I didn't realise that it was a bug, and thought that I must had missed something important that would open up the passage. Of course, by now I know that this is a VERY common problem. So desperately looking for help, I found this place... and by now I feel quite at home here

I was wandering the web looking for a game to play. In much the same manner as Wiz 8 (now), I read up in the game at this forum, decided to buy it, then waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiited for an OZ release date

The reason I came looking for the board was common technical problems I coulda solved if that damn patch help file wasn't so cryptic [img]smile.gif[/img] . I've kept coming back though as this is a difficult game and highly enjoyable and I'm pleased to see this board so often frequented even so long after the game has been out.
