Formost, hello, my name is wayne & I will be a regular addition to your Forum. I am well versed in Forum etiquette, being a standing member elsewhere, and I am also rather finicky on grammar, so watch your p's & q's. :lol:

Well now, A old, old friend moved in with me recently, and in going through his Computer game discs I came upon a burn I'd given him 7 years ago. (back when CDR's were 2x, and expensive as gold) On this disc was one of my favorite old games, which I had thought lost to time... Yserbius & Twinion.

When I played in the past (1995, My Lord, has it been that long????) I had a 51st level ranger that I had only had the time to take through half of the game, I believe. On my friends burn was a 18th level warrior I'd started, & not my beloved ranger, so I took the ball & ran. I've been playing now for 3 solid weeks, and just loving it.

My biggest question though is in facing the Dragons / Wyverns on level 6 I believe it is, where I assume I have to return the Wind horn. To this day (& in time past) I have never beaten the third set of dragons. What am I doing wrong????

My normal attack approach involves Sovereignty Scrolls and Death Darts. Then I pound the rest with my sword until exhaustedly I drop dead in a charred heap, with 2 - 5 dragons left standing. do you really have to be over 75th level to tackle these brutes? Am I really going to have to wait another month or three before I can take them on without dieing? How has someone else done it?????

Also, in the (???) Wizards level (???) with all the teleports. My Scanning skills display monsters in the middle, but I have never actually been able to find my way into that area, other than the four surrounding teleports that form a small inverse cross. What am I missing? is there a drop somewhere I haven't tried? A teleport I haven't found? A magic word I haven't said? (Open Sez ME!) Please drop a hint, cause I'm frustrated.

OK, one other thing,

I see from here that there is some new form of Online Yserbius... I've prowled around a few days before coming with my mundane questions, so I've seen some interesting things to say the least. Please explain to me the online play.... and weither (in your humble opinion) it's worth the download / time investment.

All that said, I look forward to getting to know everyone here, thanks, and Good Fighting to all.

Oh... and what's with the donation thing on the sideline.... it's something we don't have at my other forum....

Hail! and welcome :D

I've also restarted playing the single playing version of Yserbius, I haven't played Twinion yet because I can't get the sound to work (ironically, it works on Yserbius no problem..hmmm)

I'm a level 37 knight now, and dragons are still my biggest headache. I'm not sure of the area you're talking about (my main problem was the dragons on level 7 labyrinth II, "dragons of the leap" to get the Voranti Key) but I just used control (sovoriegn scroll), then shield, and then attack. After I killed a few of them, I would heal up (or try too in some cases). but I had to get 5 or so levels before I had a chance to kill them, you definitely don't need to be a level 75. The biggest problem with dragons is Agility, you probably get controlled...cursed...confused etc a lot, and barbarians don't have very high agility to begin with. The spell resist can counter that and raise your agility briefly to help you out. I wouldn't use death darts with dragons (unless there are other weaker enemies around)...because dragons have very high HP for their level.

Also, in the (???) Wizards level (???) with all the teleports. My Scanning skills display monsters in the middle, but I have never actually been able to find my way into that area, other than the four surrounding teleports that form a small inverse cross. What am I missing? is there a drop somewhere I haven't tried? A teleport I haven't found? A magic word I haven't said? (Open Sez ME!) Please drop a hint, cause I'm frustrated.
I wouldn't worry about this area quite yet. Even at my level, I haven't completed it yet (near the end, there are 12 HIGH LEVEL dragons to fight, not pretty, trust me)...it's part of the Arnakkian/red (or blue?) gem quest. Basically, you want to spell out: ARNAKKIAN with the runes first, then EN-LI-KIL (no dashes) second, and GHOST third. You'll eventually teleport the middle areas...but you need the harvest horn and yellow gem to complete this quest.

Hope this helps! I'll let the mods and admins answer the rest of your questions.

Welcome L1ly1!

To awnser your question about the donations. They are to help us run our servers here. The site takes up alot of bandwidth as one might guess. We also put it towards maintaining the site, the Yserbius Mall, YSUO server (Which also doubles as our YS Online Server) and much more. We all have real jobs and bills, and the donations is to help the site stay alive.

As for is it worth it? Prolly not right now. We currently only have the Tav up and running (Not all functionality restored) and the DE, which is a one way ticket to the DE... Meaning its still buggy and doesn't work fully... But it's a start, and further then ANYONE else has gotten... So keep checkin back! Have fun! And if ya lookin for a good time, prolly YSUO is a good place to start.
