Simple as pie
So, what would be the point of doing this?? To play single player?? Pfft....

Sorry, um... play on other PWs? I don't get it? I mean, I get what you are saying, but I just don't understand the concept.... Surely whenever the Avlis servers go down you just read the boards or go and eat some food or wash or something? Right?

A little bumpish thing here for those who don't like reding through threads and still want to play SoU and HotU at the same time.

P.S.: Isn't the CD holder they give you so nice of them :)
Yes i agree with the cd holder, some of those pictures are pretty sweet. Can't wait till we get to install it, new feats every 4 lvls after lvl 20. that will be awsome.

I was in Tower the other day (needed to be in Piccadilly to meet a friend anyway), and they had HotU there.

I had to physically hold onto a railing to prevent myself from picking it up and buying it. After all, I only got SoU a few weeks ago (and that was just so I could play on Avlis), and my games budget hasn't yet refreshed.

When I do have the money, then I'll be on it like yuppie on coke. Word.

One of American's forefathers said it best "Give me HOTU or give me death"

I fired up HOTU on my linux box, the skies and underdark are really really sweet.
