Finished it once.Have second party roaming Ascencion Peak not planning to finish it with them though as I like to go back to them occasionally to renew acquantances and try for one more level.Will definately play it again(after Morrowind)as I have yet to try a Gadgeteer.

Yep, then we're talking about the same Death Lord burrow. I found it by accident. But for a non-spoiler hint on how to find it, use X-Ray. Absolutely not critical to find it, just some XP and items.

If you guys decide to do the easter-egg dungeons, a little guidance-

1) Graveyard is a challenge (but manageable) for a level 10 party. The Northern Wilderness one wasn't much worse (IIRC). The Mountain Wilderness one is a major challenge.

2) Your automap will be useless. The radar (bottom left) will be very confusing if you have X-ray running.

The most interesting part about it was the massive amount of player effort that went into finding the correct items to use. The Sir-Tech team flat out refused to say anything beyond the runes leading to a side-"quest". I think it was two weeks before someone with a trainer solved the mystery. Then it was another week before maps started showing up...

Yes a couple on the official boards have been their since the game came out. The third time for me was more about the party than the game. The best part of rpg's is the sense of discovery and when that is done the game becomes a chore. I barely finished the thrd party but the strategy aspect kept me going.

If that was AltusSeven, he seemed to approach Wiz8 as a research study as much as a game. On the other hand, I've found the results of his "research" to be very useful.
