HQ is most likely never going to be made agian, if there was even a remote thought of it this site would have been C&Ded a very long time ago.

Like I said earlier the best we are going to do is WQ IF greed workshop thinks it would make them any money.

Actually marketing wise mine is the safest conclusion. HQ might be old, but it has a cult status among wargamers, dungeoncrawlers or pure retrofans. Everybody who was exposed to it remembers it.
I know that they claim that they had thought the name first, but its as credible as me saying that I thought to name a soft drink ''coca cola'' but they got the TM right out of my hands.

Again the problem is not that GZ are IP thieves. The problem is that they are clumsy IP thieves that got themselves caught and that means that their version of HQ will be extremely short lived. As fans we simply dont need that.

To tell you the truth I dont know if I really want it to be made again. And what I mean is that Im afraid that it will not have the same production quality as the original one. I would certainly hate to see it becoming something like ''Descent'' with those ugly, smalish, soft plastic cheep minis.

No it isn't. You have no proof of that--again, only supposition. What I said still makes the most sense, because it does. Its self-evident. Its that good at being evidence of my claim.

Go get a job as something different. You're clearly not cut out for debate.

While your job is to be ''debater'' :lol: :lol:
Actually you have no proof that you know what you are saying. The name derives out of their last games names. Seriously? And then why didnt they use something like ''Questing Hero'' or '' A hero's Quest'' or ''Quest for Hero''? How come it HAD to be HEROQUEST not even Hero-Quest?
On the other hand what Im saying is self evident cause thats one of the ways market works. Offcourse you are free to believe Moon Design PR bullshit, next thing is that they will claim their game older than Dungeons and Dragons, oh wait...

MD didn't steal anyone's IP. That's legally recognized fact.

Dude, you called him sherlock, and he responded. So don't keep calling him names, as a little kid! Keep it nice, or shut up, both of you :x

Dude he was arrogant and insulting. He shouldnt expect flowers. Wish you were here to act as sheriff when he posed as the wise guy of the forum.
