Talk:Ultima V: Lazarus

Ebay

I just noticed that some person started selling copies of lazarus on german ebay -wonder if that's ok.

No it isn't...

Thanks

Just want to say the people who made this are heroes! I salute them!

Didn't Richard Garriott comment on this?

Didn't Richard Garriott comment on a fan made remake, saying it was a great idea? I remember reading that somewhere. Dream Focus 14:18, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Yep, we were in occasional contact with Richard throughout the project. He was reported to take Lazarus with him to play on long trips. And not just Lazarus; he was in favor of many fan remakes and other Ultima-inspired works. Scottman 01 (talk) 19:24, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Wow, you answered 9 years later. ;) ...do you have any linkable references for this dialogue? Shaddim (talk) 22:47, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately no, it was all off the record. (For all anyone knows, we're making this up. ;) ) Richard has in past interviews given vague kudos to all remakes and derivative works which I can try to dig up sometime. Scottman 01 (talk) 15:59, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of links

I noticed a lot of links have been deleted. If its to official sites or forums used by the creators of the game, to answer questions and discuss improvements, then its a valid link. The "fan sites" become "official sites". Dream Focus 14:18, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Merging Ultima V: Lazarus

Any thoughts on merging this with Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny? As one of the lead designers and producers of Lazarus (as well as being one of those mentioned to work in the games industry for over ten years because of it), I'd love it if this had its own page, but after a few months of working on this entry, Lazarus doesn't seem to have enough to warrant an article of its own. It can, however, be pared down to fit in with Ultima V fairly easily. Scottman 01 (talk) 19:20, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Keep it separated if possible. I think Lazarus is notable enough to have an own article. Do you have more press articles and reviews on lazarus? Shaddim (talk) 22:45, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

I think there are two more reviews we can link to. Other than that, this is the most we're going to have. Is this really enough to warrant its own article? Scottman 01 (talk) 16:02, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

The merge discussion links to the other article's talk page. Talk:Ultima_V:_Warriors_of_Destiny#Merging_Ultima_V:_Lazarus Anyway, as I said there, the article has enough content to stand on its own. Dream Focus 03:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
