Version 2.2.5 of Voyage to Farland for Windows/Linux has a new major feature, Rescue Codes. The idea is that when you're vanquished in a dungeon, you can request a friend or fellow Voyage fan on the internet to come and rescue you. Here's how it works: 1) You are vanquished (I don't recommend allowing this on purpose, but hey... it happens) 2) You request a rescue from the Start Menu. The rescue code will be copied to the system clipboard so you can paste it into an email, a tweet, on the Desura forum - pretty much anywhere! It will be helpful if you tell potential rescuers what dungeon it was and what floor (e.g. Floor 3 in The Path of No Return) 3) A nice fellow Voyage fan out there can enter the code in the Start Menu ("Rescue Someone") by first copying it with Ctrl-C, etc. and then selecting "Paste Code" 4) The rescuer will then be taken directly to the first floor of the dungeon you were vanquished in. He or she will have to fight their way up to the floor you fell on, find the "Fallen HERO" and talk to him/her. This completes the rescue and a successful rescue code will then automatically be copied to the system clipboard and the rescuer can reply to your email, your tweet, your facebook post or on the forum and include the code! 5) You can then thank them This is all very beta code currently and there are a few caveats:
