NWN MMO: Suck Meter Went Up

[Saulus]

So if you thought the Neverwinter MMO was going to be bad before...

At least it's not being called NWN3.

My best friend just got back from GenCon Indy. He said he saw a lot of Neverwinter. He said it was garbage.

Come oooooooon, ridable horses.

I truly doubt I will waste money on this farce of a game.

[Doubtful]

That makes me want to cry salty tears of injustice.

What we need is a shed load of people with loads of free time and motivation to do some kind of truly awesome d20/Unreal based hybrid.

Hells, the Unreal UDK is free, not much harder to work with than the NWN2 toolset and several dozen times more powerful and has the capacity to handle multi-level persistent worlds!

Also: Hawken looks rather fun.

I screwed with Unreal DK and even started working on NWN2 style gameplay.

Being honest, I'd much rather use source SDK than Unreal SDK on the programming side. Source is C++ oriented and Unreal is Script Oriented and has a lot of first person shooter concepts in mind when scripting.

Very disapointed. I would have like to seen an improvement on this game. Better graphics, larger areas, new classes etc.

Nice! So all we have to do is pay GBX to make an entirely new game, then new gameworld

Oh, I don't think my bank account has that much money :'(

Btw, how much donations do we realistically need to make to keep Sundren alive?

[Saulus]

I think as long as there's roughly 50 dollars a month, covering the other costs isn't a big deal for me and I don't mind doing it. I have had some larger donations in the past, so it's not an exact estimate. I may not see donations for a month or even two, then suddenly see several people donate, some in larger amounts.

The generosity of the playerbase is a large part of why the server still continues to run, there are other reasons but I can't dismiss this fact.

[Thief Of Navarre]

I think it can largely depend on the time of the year as well. People dont donate cause they dont play (summer months perhaps) and sometimes they cant because of money troubles... and then it all comes at once.
