Where Ya' From?

[Kangleton]

Just curious to know what servers everyone comes from, as a NWN background.

Personally, I played Arelith and Astoria in NWN1, and Sundren has been my first and only for NWN2.

[wangxiuming]

NWN - Lands of Acheron
NWN2 - Sundren

[The Ice Hag]

NWN- Cant remember the server name offhand, but all the DM's appeared as grim reaper avatars (nice RP community)

NWN2- Only Sundren

[Orlandu]

NWN - Never played

NWN2 - TFR, Skullport

[Deathmage]

Heh. I'm from ALFA - A Land Far Away. Wasn't a particularly good experience - you start at level one, and the world is a dangerous place. I don't know how many good character concepts met their ends at the hands of a random street mugger or goblin.

That's NWN1. NWN2, I went Forgotten Realms -> Sundren. I sometimes go on ALFA still when there's nobody on Sundren.

[Caspian]

NWN: Didn't game much online save for a handful of one on one adventures. Big PNP kid while growing up.

NWN2: Nightmist and Highland Saga

[sharringtonm]

NWN1 - Forgotten Realms Cormyr, Avantari, Dragon Coast: Erithon's Might, Dragon Coast: Imperial Banner
NWN2 - Nightmist, Talernon2

Some of us Old Nightmist players have noticed this.. Caspian? Who were you there? Cause I played the PC named Amber Rose there.

NWN1 - ALFA to begin with as a player, then DM'd for a short while. Daggerdale Server for a very long time, quit with alot of other players and DM's for variuos reasons. Then continued to DM on a few other minor servers.

NWN2 - Sofar only Sundren =)

[MKartMaster]

NWN: Lords of Middle Earth, Anvarath, Battlequest. Actually a DM/Dev for the first and third of those three.
NWN2: Just Sundren. I tried a few other servers, but they sucked.

[Mighty_Draco]

NWN: TwistedDomain, Anvarath, Lords of Middle Earth, Battlequest. Also DM'd on the last two

NWN2: Sundren, found it after a bit of digging around, decided it looked good, tried it out, told Mkart to join

[Kaeldorn]

NWN1: City of Arabel, not much else in terms of RP servers. Played on one PvP arena server for a long time as well though, but can't recall the name.

NWN2: Midgard Saga for a while. Now Sundren.

[Lothoir]

NWN1: Started at the Red Dragon Inn...or Dancing Dragon Inn..a 4 area localvault RP server. Moved on to Cormyrian Prophesies which was one of the greatest servers I have ever played on. The entire server was maintained by Natfka who did absolutely amazing things with the NWN1 tileset system and created one of the most beautiful worlds I have ever seen. But then real life tied me up for a few months and in the interim the server went down, but I could go on for hours of how much I loved that server. I then found Arion and had a good romp there before NWN2 came out and visited quite a few servers before settling down to Sundren.

[Perpetual Myth]

NWN1 - I don't think I could even remember them all if I tried. I started on a server called The Three Kingdoms (3KDS) years ago. I'd had a few PNP games before then but this was to be my real trial by fire to the DND ruleset, if not FR roleplaying as I've come to know it. To this day I think 3kds gave me the most fun I've had.

Tried another server here and it was either the city of Arabel, Arandach or something that sounded like that. The server was based around one city with a vampire infestation and being allowed to play as a vampire had me in rapture for the few months I was there, but eventually I got fed up of both sides of the conflict fraternising instead of working against each other. Same as a load of other server the players who want to walk around msn-ing in bikinis just made me unable to stomach the setting as it had become.

After that I bummed around a few other servers before coming to Estium. Not FR but still probably one of the most hardcore roleplaying experiences I've had, to the point where it was so difficult it started losing the fun at one point for me. I fell in love with Estium though because if someone was halfnaked outside more or less everyone would be surprised IC because of the cold. Realism was taken to a level where it was almost anal, but because it was so consistent it never seemed like a chore.

Eventually left because of arguments between me and a bad DM. Tried Bruehawk on a few people's recomendations for a bit but I didn't get on with the server. I went through a load of servers dabbling (a week here, two weeks there) for a few months and then gave NWN a serious break.

I played on FRC early in its life and then had to quit, then came back to it afterwards. I didn't like how the server had changed so I didn't stick around the second time.

Played on FR Rashemen after that and had some of the best DMed quests I'd ever come across under the carefull and considerate hand of DM Edin Sumar. He gave way too much xp but to be honest, there were about 8 regular players in our timezone and it became more like pnp in that he was OUR dm and he ran the entire world around the one group. Everyone new was ALWAYS included but no one ever stuck around for whatever reason.

I played on the Lost Dale for a few months after that, carving a path for my Malarite halfling barbarian with what must have been the bluntest axe of all time Eventually the lack of players chased me out of the Lost Dale. Its been the same ever since with NWN1.

The last NWN1 server I spent any real time in was FR Moonsea and the Dalelands and I can say without a doubt that it is the best built server I've ever seen. Fully working factions, appropriate layout and keeping to the FR sourcebooks without being nazis and sacrificing gameplay for accuracy. The only problem was that I saw about 3 other players in the months I was there (appart from the odd 1timer who would drop in, die in the starting area because they were alone and then log out forever).

I have to say that so far NWN2 hasn't been much better. Most of the servers seem to be crap (forgotten realm) or have a different magic level/xp level to what I enjoy playing on most. The ones that I've seen that are low magic/level are invariably empty for most of the week. I've only had about an hours worth of play on Sundren so far and what I saw was great. Can't wait to give it more of a chance.

[Caspian]

No way! Ha! Do you know how many times I was mistaken for you?! I played Amber Rose there as well. I must have gotten to the server a couple months after you left. Everyone kept sending me tells and I was a bit confused at all the attention. Yeah, a wild coincidence.

Some of us Old Nightmist players have noticed this.. Caspian? Who were you there? Cause I played the PC named Amber Rose there.

[rustediron]

NWN1: Didn't play mulitplayer, unfortunately
NWN2: MidgardSaga, while it was still populated, and Abyssya.
