Just out of interest, I was searching Thief-thecircle.com and came across a Thief: The Dark Project website: "http://www.thief-thecircle.com/darkproj/index.html". On this website it says, "Compete in multi-player "theftmatch" play to steal the most loot ... from the local nobles or from each other" and "Q: Will there be a multiplayer mode?
A: Yes. We're developing a "theftmatch" mode, where small teams of thieves compete under time pressure to steal the greatest value of swag from the territory of wealthy NPC's and their guards. Other models of multiplayer play are being considered. "
Did they give up on this 'Multi-Player' idea?
Or is that website a complete hoax!? :confused:

That was scrapped before the game was released, due to them not being able to get it working well in time. They tried again for Thief 2 and again gave it up to focus on the Single player. However, enough code was left in to allow Thief 2 multiplayer to be developed by the fans...

Eric and Josh have been getting up to speed with the level editor. Dorian has been working out multiplayer scneario and feature ideas (with plenty of input from the team).
And I've been thinking we should update the What We've Been Playing Lately page. Hints: Richard Garfield, Klaus Teuber. Evil is Good (now there's a sentiment that we on The Dark Project can agree with). -Tim

On the design side, we've brought on a new designer part-time in the person of one Laura Baldwin. She's getting started on mission design, just as Mike is transiting from his multi-player prototype mission onto a single-player mission. Dorian and I have been working on finalizing the mission structure and plot, and have some pretty good ideas for the endgame which we've yet to spring on an unsuspecting Greg. -Tim
Something happened between August 15, 1997 and October 3, 1997. The FAQ is a bit outdated. :rolleyes:

There's a sticky Multiplayer Contacts thread in Thief Gen, and somewhere in there you should find the multiplayer patch for T2.
