  Game information :

  ==================

 

  Arcanum creates a compelling new world where magic and technology coexist

  in an uneasy balance. As Arcanum opens, the mechanical age has only

  recently arrived in this ancient land where Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and

  other races have learned to survive in the new sprawling industrialized cities

  But this radical shift from magic to technology has created a potentially

  explosive situation. As the townspeople and other thinkers begin mass

  production of light bulbs, batteries, eyeglasses and guns, the Mages grow

  leery. This tightly wound setting is the starting point from which the character

  must set out on his quest.

 

  GAME FEATURES:

 

  * Classless, point-based attribute system allows for limitless creativity

    in guiding your character's development

 

  * Complex stat system underlies every event taking place within

    Arcanum

 

  * Customize your character, including 8 basic stats (Strength and

    Charisma), more than a dozen derived stats (Poison Resistance and

    Character Speed), 16 primary skills (Gambling and Healing), 80 spells

    within 16 colleges, and 56 technological degrees within 8 disciplines

 

  * Automatic character management features let you delve into the

    quest at hand for action-oriented players

 

  * Explore a huge game environment, with dozens of cities, dungeons

    and towns to find

 

  * Meet more than 300 unique characters and 280 different monster

    types across the land of Arcanum

 

  * Multiple paths to victory abound in the scores of quests surrounding

    the main storyline

 

  * Accurate day/night cycles affect the gameplay, from combat to

    thieving skills

 

  * Take on a band of ogres in real-time, or plan your strategy through a

    turn-based system of combat - you choose

 

  * Take the adventure online cooperatively or competitively over the

    Internet or LAN

 

  Copy over the crack from cd1 or cd2 (on both CD's for your convenience)

 

 

  SCENE NOTES:  *sigh*  Well, it seems FLT has come under attack through nfos

  now and we have usually not gotten into nfo wars but we feel we must respond

  to recent activities.  Please note this will be our only reply to this

  issue as I'm sure razor will counter-reply however the average user does

  not wish to read inside group propaganda, they just want to play the

  game.

 

  The 'truth' is only a perception, and whereas we believe in the truth

  and try to stick to the truth wherever security is not compromised, not

  all groups do that..not necessarily due to the fact they outright lie

  but moreover because they don't have all the facts straight and so they

  presume to know the truth

 

  We will respond the the parts of the razor nfo in steps and not write a

  dissertation on the state of the scene (not that it doesn't need one).

  Razor nfo lines are preceeded by a * so you know which is which.

 

  * Yesterday, Razor beat FLT on the release of LoMM.  We released the      

  * game to sites several minutes before FLT did - FLT even requested a nuke

  * of their own release when it was clear the battle was lost.  Two hours  

  * later, FLT concocted a story to try to get revenge for us beating them. 

 

  Ok, right off the bat there is an untruth, not because Razor outright

  lied but because they do not know the facts.  Here are the facts of that

  happening which any FLT member who was present should be able to attest

  to.  FLT had LOMM pre'd on all FLT sites about an hour before Razor

  released however during the preing we were also testing and found out

  the game is an online game and the only single play part is some

  practice mode.  We at that time tested lan play thinking like Quake 3 if

  the user can at least play some lan it is an ok release (not great but

  ok).  However during our test we received CD authorization errors when

  trying to connect two computers using the same CD key.  Later tests

  showed that was a random occurrence..some users reported getting those

  errors others did not.  So we told the traders do NOT release that game

  in the pre dirs and will be given further instructions when we know

  more.  However, when Razor released someone panicked and accidentally

  let the damn thing fly DOH!  A chain reaction occurred and it was a

  miserable state of affairs and I must say not a pretty picture for FLT.

  We requested nuke right away as we knew the release was not working, not

  because we lost a race..racing is fun and part of the scene and

  sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but we did so because as we

  felt the release was a non working version of what the game should

  be (some multiplay available).  Oh geez this is already long-winded and

  I apologize.

 

  * Razor 1911 would like to clarify the events of yesterday all interested 

  * parties.  Quite simply, FLT has pulled yet another dirty trick in a long,

  * long laundry list of dirty underhanded tricks.                          

 

  He loves to call FLT the evil monsters of the iso scene yet really all he

  ever does is talk about our underhanded tricks and has nothing to

  substantiate them with facts. 

 

  The next part of their nfo goes into how they have started to release a

  nice quality/quantity of games lately and how we felt that a threat and

  so did nasty deeds to hold them down ('we are oppressed') like nuke

  their releases because we raced them and nuked them for non-working

  seeing how the end user loves to have non-working versions.  The also

  bring up how we ordered a nuke of 911 Fire Rescue recently which is

  totally absurd.  I just looked at 5 FLT hq and they all have that

  release on their site.  When there is a race and FLT HQ has the release

  done on their site and razor is not it is nuked...a simple fact.  It's

  not who makes a dir first that wins, its who finishes the release first

  that wins.  If it were the other way around we would just make a dir of

  Quake 4 now and just wait it out.  FLT has pretty much stuck to the

  principle if the release is done on enought FLT HQ's to race then we

  race, if not then we don't.  A perfect example of that is given by Razor

  in their own nfo:

 

  * to perform very well, scoring lots of big titles that would have once   

  * automatically gone to FLT - No One Lives Forever, Giants, Quake 3 Team 

 

  FLT was preing both NOLF and Giants when Razor released.  They were done

  on 2-3 HQ's but not enought to race so we deleted the dir and went on to

  fight another day.

 

  * Over the last few months, Deviance has put together a very nice run and  

  * clearly established themselves as a superior group to FLT.  In response, 

  * FLT has become more bitter than ever and is giving no quarter in its effor

  * to discredit the competition wherever possible.  Because of Deviance's   

  * recent releasing prowess, it is very easy for them to pick on the little 

  * kid on the block, namely Razor 1911.  We pride ourselves in being a small,

 

  Yes Deviance has done very well lately and I can promise you when I see

  dirs made like ALONE.IN.THE.DARK.4-DEViANCE and

  OPERATION.FLASHPOINT-DEViANCE I tighten up, say "shit wish that was FLT"

  then proceed to download and play the games that they release (though I

  wonder how many bytes difference the readme ...oh nevermind).  The point

  is the iso scene is more competitive now then ever on all facets.. USA

  and Europe games, and if you don't feel that desire to win on big titles

  then I am not sure you are human, but I can promise you that we have

  never knowlingly done anything to prevent another group from releasing a

  game by discrediting the competition without valid reasons (e.g.

  non-working releases, bad images etc.).

 

  * on a LAN.  Our initial release included only a serial number - AS DID THE

  * INITIAL FLT DUPE WHICH WAS LATER NUKED.  Worth noting also is the fact   

  * that the FLT sublabel Class did not release the game with the "crack"    

  * that FLT later used - only additional keys were included.                

 

  Heh, another fact not correct.  Class did release the same cracked

  release however provided the extra keys in case the entries in the

  registry (which is the same for everyone in a rip since the registry is

  included during install) would have the same key and maybe prevent it

  from working on lan with the cracks that were included.  If you read the

  CLASS nfo carefully you would see that.  With our iso users put in any

  key they wish and that gets embedded in the registry, however with the

  rip every user has the same cd key and CLASS was being careful just in

  case that caused problems (which it doesn't due to the cracks).

 

  The next part of Razor's nfo is rebutted above with explanation again of

  what happed with our first LOMM release non-cracked.

 

  * I mentioned hypocrisy earlier.  If FLT truly believed in releasing the game

  * in the manner in which they did, you would not have seen a Quake 3 release

  * from FLT several years ago which included a key but no network play.  You 

 

  Again the facts are incorrect.  FLT's Quake 3 release was cracked to

  work on lan play AND direct ip to ip.  Only later did IdSoftware do an

  update patch that prevented that from working (unless you did not

  upgrade).  Razor could have done research before stating that fact.

  From the nfo found on isonews for Quake 3 FLT:

 

  "Please note, when you are asked to enter a cd Key, enter anything or

  just Hit escape.  While this game is INET play based, we have cracked

  this release so directplay (IP to IP) or Lan play works.  If you want to

  play Online fully (on all servers) you will need a valid key (like

  Half-life). "

 

  The only net play you could not play was onthe ID servers which had CD

  key authorization.

 

  * It is true that FLT has earned, through a lot of releases over the last   

  * couple of years, a place in scene memory. They do not, however, deserve the

  * respect of their peers -and this is something we wish to make clear at this

  * time.  While FLT may release a lot, they do not lift a finger to earn the 

  * respect of Razor, and I would also think Deviance feels the same way though

  * I cannot speak for them, as FLT has screwed them over in shady ways on more

  * than one occasion.  We do not respect FLT and until the group demonstrates

  * its ability to behave in a responsible way towards its peers, we will no

 

  It is difficult to earn the respect if their seniors are constantly

  providing propaganda to the contrary.  Why don't you let people see the

  truth for what it really is and stop dressing it down.  The last thing

  FLT thinks when they release is "We have to stop Razor and Deviance from

  releasing".  Our thoughts are more like "hurry up and get this damn

  release pre'd before Razor or Deviance beats us to it!".  We are not

  asking for your respect nor would we ever think of demanding it.

  Respect comes an overall look at the scene and not a tunnel-visioned

  view from a few people.

 

  * Ultimately, the end user is who is hurt by the ruthless actions of FLT, and

  * others who might choose to behave in an underhanded manner.  By using their

  * substantial position in the scene to rob you of your choices, they are    

  * undermining what the competition between groups is all about - competition

 

  How can the end user be hurt by fully cracked versions of games to play?  You

  talk about how we release things just to piss you off but you are

  incorrect.  You release Atlantis uncracked, we release it cracked (not 2

  hours later mind you but minutes later)..same for Tribes II, however we

  are the Evil monsters for trying to belittle Razor by releasing a

  working release.  This does not hurt the end users, only egos.  "rob you

  of choices"..???  Which should the user choose, a non-cracked

  non-working version or a cracked one.  We have been accused in the past

  of releasing repacks of games cracked that were uncracked previously and

  why not just release the crack but in some cases that is more trouble

  for the end user.  For instance with LOMM there are two cracked files to

  copy over after installation and two during installation on the CD so

  the end user cannot simply download the cracks and overwrite

  files...they would have to remaster and we all know the end user either

  doens't wasnt to be bothered with that or is not familiar enough with

  remastering to do so.  Perhaps you are right though, perhaps in the

  future we could release cracked files along with the repacked iso and

  give the user some choice of how they want to proceed.

 

  Ultimately folks it comes down to the truth.  Now I'm sure razor will

  reply to this nfo in some fasion, however we have presented the truth

  here and it is up to you, the end user now.  I would love nothign better

  than to see the iso scene have nice fair competition and would be

  willing to do whatever it takes to bring it closer to that

  point...however I would also like world peace.

 

  By the way, for future reference, the readme.txt of this release is

  13,445 bytes.

 

  Deep Thoughts, By FAiRLiGHT

 

  I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what

  was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

  "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform

  you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.

  You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase

  you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times

  ." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is

  brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw

  talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
