Hi guys,

I have been wondering if there is a place where all Median versions are hosted. From Median 2008 (I don't know what came before) all the way till Median XL Ultimative?

If possible, I can search on my old backups for old versions of Median and upload them somewhere as I am pretty sure that I have files stored in there from over 8 years old. This would give a nice collection I think.

Does it already exist, or is there any need for something like this?

Thanks guys.

Actually the mod exists on MODDB since "Released 2007"

However, the oldest version on MODDB is Median XL 1.70 from Nov 21 2008.

Any chance there are even older versions around?
I have found this version:
http://www.fileplanet.com/108369/0/0/0/ ... /Mod_Files

It's from 1/18/2008

It would be nice to make the collection even more complete.

(also features some old links that don't seem to work for median 2! could probably track down working versions with a little google-fu)

I can see how that could be interesting for collection purposes but, personally I wouldn't recommend to anyone to even bother playing anything before median 2008. There's nothing interesting, just no ubers, much less items, less skills (many repeated skills on diff chars), less monsters and really imbalanced. I'd say any version before median 2008 is basically "unfinished m2k8". Median 2008 isn't that great either (extremely imbalanced) - however it has a lot of nostalgia factor for us who have been around for that long.


There isn't overall much value in downgrading except to play some specific builds, such as 1.F9 pouncesin, 1.D9 judgesin or 1.A9 poison sorc, which were nerfed to the ground or removed. There's also other removed builds such as reanimator build, but that was removed because it was shitty so yeah have fun with that. That's pretty much about it.
