[Reminisce On] Nox

Nox is an isometric PC game developed by Westwood and released back in 2000. It's a lot like D2, except the PVP doesn't eat goat ass.
Nox can largely be described as an isometric pvp game. You have your choice of 3 classes and a variety of skills for each. The usual suspects are available for multiplayer maps, deathmatch, capture the flag, uh...more deathmatch.
The PVE storyline has something to do with an errant lad being flung into an alternate deminsion of somesort and having to do battle with an evil necromancer woman who's into bondage gear. None of this is actually important but it's a good excuse to post up some titays.
EA no longer supports Nox's online servers, the only MP available is through Hamachi.
Many Nox players suffer from missing CD-Key syndrome. It's been reported that if you own any of Westwoods more recent CnC games, you can input those keys for Nox and it'll work.
I fondly recall playing the Warrior and using the grapple/charge combo to gib hapless fools. I believe we've tried to get a GAME ON going before.

Since Westwood has disbanded and Nox is no longer officially supported by any of it's corporate associates, the game is considered abandonware! The laws of man need not apply!

This thread is Noxalicious.
But, it needs more facts and less rumors.
Feels like a golden age of gaming has passed forever
okay, confirmed for myself, the official servers are all down. Trying to register a new account just times out, and when you try to connect to patch it gives you an error.
Looks like the only play available is through Hamachi.
And Korea.
It was basically Westwood's tribute to Gauntlet.
Seriously, I remember playing through the game a couple times, some fun stuff, and multiplayer? YES, PLEASE.
Except I never wanted to be a warrior since I wanted to discover new and exciting ways to get out of their grapple charge combo. Cause seriously, warrior grapple/charge + mage = dead mage. I also liked how mages could get a spell that would kill everything around them, including themselves. Damn it. I just liked mages!
Man, I loved that game so much.
It was so good.
Force of Nature. Fist of Vengeance. Shit, how young was I when this came out?
hahah, the two main spells I used since I always played conjurer in multiplayer. It was fun (and cheap) to spam force of nature down hallways to kill people. Also in deathmatch, stun+fist of vengeance, haha loved that combo. Also, I liked either summoning a mechnical golem to wreck people randomly around the map, or summon four of those fireball throwing demons since they did decent damage and when they died, they exploded and caused even more damage. Man...I miss Nox multiplayer.
One time I shot a crossbow right into some warriors face, killed him and the bolt burst right through him to hit a mage standing nearby killing him too!
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
haha nice one. Warriors were annoying, seeing how as a conjurer you couldn't stun them, only slow them down with the spell. That and they could follow you through your teleport. Yet it was always hilarious when i was carrying a staff of Force of Nature and when a warrior, thinking he is all cool and bad ass war crying me so I can't cast....surprise bitch!
Man, wouldn't it be great to see all of Westwood's games on Gametap or Steam sometime? Nox with some Lands of Lore would be epic.
PANox:wang
can someone hop on and we can test out Nox LAN? 1.0, didn't update Nox yet.
Argh, why must you taunt me so?
Nothing.
It adds multiplayer co-op quests. Awesome.
I have limited hard drive space for a reinstall but I'll look.
