It’s a Bug Hunt: Dark Life Opens for Beta!

by Alphaville Herald on 10/12/04 at 5:08 pm

Long time residents of SL will remember an earlier incarnation of Dark Life — an EQ-styled kill-the-monsters-grab-the-loot game build within SL. It is now back and bigger and badder and better than ever, even if still in beta testing. Uri took a tour, bumping into Phillip Linden (killing giant bugs in DL, when he should be fixing giant bugs in SL) and SL Waste Magagement Consultant, Mr. Fairplay (aka One Song). What can I say? If you ever get tired of watching your avi dance at one of the 10 million erotic dance clubs in SL you might consider this as a change of pace. Best part: no 808 year old anime slaves/escorts were spotted!

Anthony Bijoux battles a giant mantis.

The famed wrecker of mead benches Uri battles the fiendish spawn of satan — mr. rat. With God’s grace it perishes as Uri’s mighty strokes sever it limb from limb.

Mr. Fairplay (aka One Song) in his Golden Battle Suit ™ — not seen since his attack on the Reichtsag! — an epic event reported in the New York Times.

Mr. Fairplay’s foe: a big ugly scorpion.

Mr. Fairplay is backed into a brackish pond full of serpants and other vile creatures from the depts. Yet he wavers not. His mighty battle axe and God given golden battle suit embolden the great knight to to fight on as the vile pond fills with war gore and the valley echoes with the sounds of cracking exoskeletons.
