The Beginning

Hey! Welcome to the news page. Ok, so you are asking yourself, "What has changed besides the title and the url?" Specifically, I’m not doing the same type of news anymore. Sure there will be announcements such as when Heroes of Might & Magic 3 is shipped and I will post press releases but don’t expect me detailing every step of development. I found doing that part of the old page to be such a drag. I will focus more on New World Computing’s Might & Magic series but there is room for all other RPG and fantasy strategy games.

Ok, so why the change the name of the page? To be honest, I really didn’t like infringing on New World Computing’s trademark. They never mind, or at lest never spoke of it to me, but the title wasn’t mine. I need to create, not just copy or emulate. Plus it simulated a new beginning. A chance to get away from the massive mistakes of the past.

Why the URL change? I changed ISP to save money. More money for games, the better. :)
