This will have an impact on vives as whether we introduce and use it (you folks will also need it to play) or not. It adds lots of nifty features and is reasonably priced (here in the UK anyways), so what do you guys think? Shall we use it or not? Leave your comments and feelings (see the Bioware boards for the extra stuff within it) below. I have also added a new poll. Cheers Arathon Vives Screenshots!  Quietus Joined: 29 Jun 2003 Total Posts: 803 Send PM   Re: SOU Expansion Pack Posted: 05 Jun 2003 05:56 PM Along these lines, does anyone know if the server is SoU, does it allow/accept non-SoU users to connect?  Fenarisk Joined: 14 Apr 2003 Total Posts: 823 Send PM   Re: SOU Expansion Pack Posted: 05 Jun 2003 07:12 PM I dunno, i know myself, I'm not gonna shell out any money on X-Pacs (don't believe in 'em), and making the server SoU (as with most games, you need SoU to play it at all most likely if we made the server SoU compatible). Unless I can get a hacked/ISO'ed copy of SoU, I wouldn't get it myself ~Fenarisk  Aria Joined: 10 Feb 2003 Total Posts: 1035 Send PM   Re: SOU Expansion Pack Posted: 05 Jun 2003 07:27 PM I would not imagine so, since the XP will be somewhat like a 'mega-hakpak'... if mini-hakpaks doesn't work, there's no reason a 'mega' one would.

I don't think it'd be a good idea to exclude half of the people who could potentially enjoy our world simply because we decide to use the XP.

On that thought... will those with the expansion be able to play on the mod if we do not choose to implement it? I'm a bit in the dark on the whole of the expansion, so forgive me if it's an elementary question.  Noggin Joined: 26 Apr 2003 Total Posts: 51 Send PM   Re: SOU Expansion Pack Posted: 06 Jun 2003 10:27 AM If a user installs the expansion pack, he/she will be able to connect to servers which use it or to servers that don't. So owning the expansion pack from a user perspective gives more flexibility. Running the expansion from a server perspective, I've read that if the new features are NOT used in the mod, then users withOUT the expansion can play. Though I find that hard to believe; I guess we'll have to wait and see. Also, there is patch (1.30?) that is suppose to come out at the same time as the expansion. Supposedly including some of the things in the expansion (not sure what). . Punchinello Longfello . Picasso Picante .
