Well, I'm a couple of days late, but downloading right now! In the meantime I'll have to check out some more of the new forum...seems like there's a few bugs, but that's to be expected with a game this size.

I think my real problem for the upcoming couple of weeks will be balancing out work plus Dwarf Fortress plus the new game of Morrowind I just started. (Bad timing on that one I guess, but I had to wash out the bad taste of Oblivion...)

Hit us with your questions when you have some.  Also, since you have a literary streak, you might read some stories that Threetoe decided to share.  He writes several in a day, and we use them for planning.

I didn't really get one thing for I missed the release for more than a weak (since I was in greece): did people know about adventure mode before the release? Was it clear that the game will be Slaves To Armok II before people would see the title screen of the release version? I was very confused when I saw all this (and of course happy).

Anyway, having only played Fortress mode for now I've got to say it might be the greatest sim game I've ever played!

Nah, only the playtesters knew.  I thought it would be fun to keep a secret.  Gezol managed to figure it out though.

I had no idea there'd be an Adventure mode, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise. Nice way to relieve stress after my ineptitude dooms a forterss full of dwarves.  :)

Dooming Dwarves for over 8 years.  Glad to see some things don't change!

Hey, there are necromancers in game now!

Don't look at me like that, it's only been 8 years - I didn't link the thread on the front page  :D

The tenth anniversary of what exactly? Afaik work began in 2002, and the first release was in 2006 :P

The tenth anniversary of the half-way point between 2002 and 2006.

There are 79 more tasks left until the dwarf game is complete.  Some of them are rather large.<P>

Just looking at you saying this almost 10 years ago amazes me, Toady.

I must admit that other than the perverse satisfaction I had necroing this thread after you referenced it in an update post, I'm curious about how you feel, looking back at your thoughts ten years ago, on the original thread post.

Was this what you wanted?  Were you in any way prepared for what DF became?

The madness of this thread is amusing. Actually, the madness of this forum, Toady and everyone inside and outside of Bay12 is amusing, but that's besides the point.

Anyway, isn't it the 10th anniversary if counted in base 8? Or, depending if you consider the start of work on it to be the starting point of DF, in bay base 12?
