I followed the whole argument over the joke in silence. I had a good laugh at you guys. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>But there is something very strange with the download page for KQ2VGA recently....<br>Have you been there recently? Apparently, there is something about the game being updated at 2nd of april. Something about "Download ver2.0" Now I wonder what that could mean..<br>And then there is this little matter of a 30meg file called "Speech pack". Very very peculiar<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Now I think that some people owe uncle Erpy an apology.<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I must say I actually imagined that the joke would be us considering it was a joke all along and at some time someone would check the download page... (moi)<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>*Smug mode engaged*<br>I bet Tierra laughed long and well. <br><br>It's over now folks.. Go to the download page and get the new version of KQ2 and the speech pack. <br><br>Also, sorry for killing this wonderful joke but I felt for having the glory!<br><br>PS. Can someone download it quickly and tell what it's like? I'm at my parents place and can't bring down all these huge files by modem, even if it is Tierra. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ...

It's great, Shaunze!<br><br>The voices sound very professional and again the voice of Graham is the original one from Sierra's games. Also, some of the Tierra members have their voices in it.<br><br>To all: Now read again the other thread, it's even more funny now! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p>Das Jan<br><br>---<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.dasjan.de">www.dasjan.de</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> - <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.adventure-treff.de">www.adventure-treff.de</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

I found Erpys comments to be very vague. Even when he admitted that there was some joke.. He didn't say exactly what the joke was so I thought about two possibilities..<br>1: Erpy is a tad childish and prolong the joke by being vague: "This whole thing has been part of a prank we've been playing, I'm afraid." He doesn't say that there isn't a voice pack, just that there has been some sort of prank.. But it seemed unnecessairy and cruel due to some emotional outbursts that the first post inflicted and somehow I don't think I've seen anything like that in Erpy before.<br><br>2: Or there is the possibility that there is an update, finished or soon on it's way. In which case Erpy doesn't have to say anything definate, just keep on snickering and try to hold a straight face.<br><br>I'm very optimistic so I asumed the second. There were new files at the download page. So this prank is very funny indeed. <br><br>Now I wonder.. About the speech pak. Is there talking for ALL of the dialogues or just for cinematic scenes? I actually excpected the file to be larger than 30 megs so I wonder..<br> <p></p><i></i>

Hmmm... seems to be voices for all dialouge. The only thing without a voice is the narrator... This is definately very cool! You've really outdone yourselve's, Tierra!!! <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.navynuke.net/ezboard/clap.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p><!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><br>"Without the fleet, the contest would be on our home grounds, and war is one contest in which it is best to be on the visiting team." -ADM Nimitz<!--EZCODE BR START--><br /><!--EZCODE BR END--><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://navynuke.netfirms.com/ezboard/sub.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

Okay, now I have to come in and tell you all...I'm sorry, but I was in on the joke the whole time. Maybe the AGDs or Erpy wants to tell you the whole story, but I'll talk about it from my perspective.<br><br>A few months ago, I got an e-mail from Erpy that Tierra had been making a voice pack since about August. They'd known that I'd been dying to voice parts for awhile now, and so they approached me with the job. I was, of course, happy to accept. The other day, I got an e-mail saying that they had devised the ultimate April Fool's Day joke and to play along with it all...and the rest is history.<br><br>Today I was just trying to get you people to realize that it wasn't friggin' over. I tried to do everything but just hit you over the head and say "GO TO THE DOWNLOADS PAGE, STUPID!!!!" But alas, I was unable to say anything.<br><br>I must say that I had lots of fun with this one...if only I could see the looks on your faces...HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!<br><br>Okay, guys, show's over, go get your friggin' voice pack. <p>-----------------------<br>Cris Skelton<br>Newsletter and Plot Writer<br>Kings Quest IX: Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.sighost.us/members/thelongwa ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>"Check me ooouuuut!!...No, seriously, check me out."</p><i></i>

Yes, I was King Edward. It was a nightmare trying to get the parts to Tierra, though. My internet doesn't enjoy huge uploads at all, and then it started having OTHER problems.

I just downloaded the speech pack this morning and I only watched a few seconds of the intro, and I think you guys did a great job. You really fooled me. For a moment I was thinking why would you release a voice pack when you kept rambling on how time consuming it would be to do one. <p>http://files.villagephotos.com/members/ ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://files.villagephotos.com/members/download.asp" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>
