I suppose there’s always the ‘win the lottery and buy the rights from EA and make the damn game ourselves’ option…

NOES! not an mmo -.- and from china … may horny get summoned and butcher the development sweatshops!

I mean, they could make a game including all the same characters and could even name most of them the same, that there would be no room for lawsuits, you can’t TM red horned demons or trolls or imps, so why renounce to a part of your profit just to use cliche character design?

Maybe they will actually make a clone of DK, remember that just because it’s online it doesn’t mean it’s a MMORPG. There are lots of online arcade games, and some online RTS games like Dreamlords and Saga (which are BAAAAD).

That piece of text says they will get access to all materials from the games, do they plan to re-use the models with 64×64 textures and square tiles from the backgrounds? It’s their first 3D game so even those are hard to achieve by begineers.

Alright, so im new. I have to say that the idea is, not one of the best I have ever heard. In fact, as far as EA goes, its one of the worst. They are handing Dungeon Keeper 2 to not only a foreign company, which in and of its self is not a bad thing, but the fact that EA is just doing it to kiss ass IS, but they are only releasing it in the Far Eastern region. On top of that, its a fucking newbie company, it said in the news article that it was its first 3D mmo. Well, thats…. comforting, sure…. After that there’s the fact that its a GOD-GAME. I am not that big of a gamer, Dungeon Keeper has always been one of my favorites, but has there ever even been a god game MMO? I have never heard of one myself….. Also, am I the only one concerned with Mistresses running around in pigtails and schoolgirl outfits, bile demons with “cute” little :3 smiles, and Horney having platinum bland hair and becoming anerensic?

DK… the MMO? This concept confuses us greatly. Oh well, not like we’d see a decent sequel nowadays anyway. :[

(Ah, everything2: better than Wikipedia.)

This is only if you want to use D3D mode, if you want to use software mode it should work fine but you’ll need to make sure that you are using 95 compatibility mode.

If you don’t want to use XP drivers in Vista and you do want to use D3D mode then you’ll need to use Vmware Workstation 6.5 with Windows XP as a guest OS. Be sure to apply Windows 95 compatibility mode to the game.

As for DK2 in Vista you’ll need to turn off hardware acceleration in the in-game menu, otherwise you’ll experience graphics corruption in the game. Can’t remember if running the game in Vmware 6.5 “fixes” this or not.
