It's over 9,000!

(The title of this is an internet joke. Look up "it's over 9,000!" on youtube, or "it's over nine thousand!")

UN-BE-LIEV-A-BLE ! For those that don't know, TTLG (ttlg.com and it's sister sites) went down recently for unknown reasons, and Saam (the guy who owns the server for TTLG) was on vacation... When he came back, it was fixed, and David (forum admin) announced on ttlg.com that TTLG needed help (donations) for building a new server/getting a hosting package. This means that TTLG will have more reliable service and be much faster! The administrator David, while reluctant to do so (read the thread on TTLG) asked for donations, and not only has the goal been met in a short timespan, it was exceeded! The amount of donations combined with USD and British Pounds (sterling?) equaled a total over over 4,000 dollars in American money. The goal was around 2,000 dollars! But you don't have to take my word, check the website, and look at the "Hosting Discussion" thread. TTLG is amazing isn't it? As some people have said, it's like a "home away from home." Thanks David and others for your hard work on keeping TTLG alive over the past 9+ years or so.

I don't know if anyone has ever seen this before, but I found an interesting secret image in the editor.res file included with thief gold. See the above thread for more details.

Thief 2 Multiplayer Beta released

Thief 2 Multiplayer Beta Patch
A little late in my posting, but better late than never right? In a historic moment, the man that goes by the alias of Tos on the TTLG forums has posted a beta version of his multi-player patch he has been working on for about a year or more now. Thanks so much Tos! Note that it IS a beta, so don't get TOO excited.

The Master Builder - Connection between thief and the play?

Probably no connection, but it was interesting to me anyway, and I posted a thread. Link below.

Update: Mission X patch released!

October News 2008: Mission X version 1.13

Okay, as you can see I posted a link above. The patch for Mission X has come out Friday, Oct 3rd, 2008. Rather than trying to rehash what has already been said, please visit that link for all the information. Thanks to pavlovscat for all her hard work on The Circle's news database. :) The CoSaS team deserve great thanks for their dedication to this FM and all the work that was done for the patch. This version should be a bit easier for those that found it excruciatingly hard the first time around.

TTLG - Thief 10th Anniversary Contest!

10 year Anniversary Contest

A contest for thief is started by Brethren of the TTLG forums to create a mission in two months for thief's anniversary in November (November 30th is the one agreed on for the contest) of this year. If you like thief, and you have dromed experience, and would like to do it, then get crackin! :D This should be a cool contest....

Behind the Scenes video at Looking Glass "Technologies"

Below is the link to a youtube video regarding a German video report back in 1997 when thief was still considered an RPG and was simply called The Dark Project. (I never knew this, something new to learn.:) )

This video was made back before the release of thief (I'm guessing they just decided to change the name, as I've always known it as Looking Glass Studios). Thanks to jtr7 for sharing this from the TTLG forums discussion thread regarding old screenshots.
