No, not that. Get your mind out of the gutter. I am talking about Lost Boys: The Tribe. The second Lost Boys movie has just recently made its direct to DVD debut.

Just how long has it been now since the Gods & Heroes beta server shut down?

No, I have no news of G&H coming back; it is just that I quite often still find myself thinking about that game. So much so, that I find myself wishing that it would resurface someday, somewhere, somehow.

I am not going to make this into a nostalgic post about the game, but I do want to outline the major attraction that I miss.

The minions! For those that played the beta, you will know that they (and the game for that matter) were not exactly ready for primetime but I think most will admit that they were a great concept and could have been made into something special.

The thing that I really miss about them is that they allowed me to actually play as a caster. I was able to send in my tank minions to catch and keep agro and maybe include a range class with a bow. All the while I got to stand away from the main action, throwing my spells and whatnot.

Sure, you can do that with a group but for those times that you just want to play by yourself, this was real slick. Maybe Mr. Hedlund will resurface someday with the I.P. in hand and let us play again.

Yes, I have lofty dreams.

The next Q&A I will be conducting for www.theoldergamers.com will be for DC Universe Online.  If you have any questions you would like to ask, feel free to leave them as a reply here.

I am very much looking forward to this game and gaining (hopefully) new information on it from this Q&A.
