@Xyx: I've added you to the list under the name Xyx.

We are actually going to be quite a strong guild. I hope we can buy property in NWN because we could have a good front and a seedy underbelly where our thieves take part in 'contracts' and make us money!

Well I think this only will be possible in persitants worlds. Or if we have our own sever running mod's.

Are we going to do the full game that comes with NwN?

I don't know - I'd generally say that people could use the same character for SP as they would for MP, just as long as it is an "Official Vault" character.

But if other people want to - it dosen't matter to me if we have to use seperate characters (SP character and a MP character).

This is certainly something that we need to take into consideration - and establish some rules of play (IMO)

It is done.

Do you think it might be worth going straight into the MP or play a few days ain SP to get our characters levelled up a bit.

Well that depends largely on where we play.
I've been looking around any many of these persistiant worlds properly have their own "vault" to store characters in, so in such a place, I don't think there would be a cross-over from SP to MP.

But if we host our own games - I couldn't see any problem for us to use SP characters in MP.

Personally I think that we ougt to find some persistian worlds and see if we can get into these and then play with one character (a MP) there - and when we play/host oursleves or non-persitant worlds we could easily use SP/MP characters (if allowed by DM/GM).


EDIT: Should we/I submit our guild in NwN sites around the net - or should we wait 'til the game comes nearer and/or the guild is better organised?

k, well, i've been away for a month, and jeez, this forum has exploded. How many are going to take part? I'll be a thief.

Pik a class, race, alignment etc. And stats with 25 point buy, and post the stuff here. If you want to worship some specific diety submit that too.

You can also submit via the website

you're playing a rogue??

Speaking of having a server for hosting... I may be able to build a machine at home for that purpose. Being on DSL should give me decent bandwidth to utilize. So, with that in mind, has anyone seen any specs on what kind of hardware one would need to run a mod server??? Also, will my DSL allow our fine members on the other side ofthe globe to play without an insane amount of lag? Or, should I just aim to support strictly North American members on a server here???

Well I finally got cable a modem and the time to start posting. I have been playing AD&D all my life and NWN gets my approval and if you don't mind I plan on joining Blades of The Banshee. I like to play evil sorcerers, neutral theives and good eleven archers. But especially evil sorcerers.

I don't know the details, but I would hope all could join in no matter where they lived.

From reading...the lag of a 56k modem is only going to be a 'half second' and in a game like this I believe that could be compensated for.

I know it a game like AoE the delay 'lag' is the difference between winning and losing...but will it be in a game like this?

@DarkPower: We accept all kinds of alignments, so don't worry 'bout that

@mikeheitz: well regarding hardware the information is pretty loose still, but as weasle said they plan on this game being playable (even hosting small parties (5-8)) with a k56 modem, as for CPU and RAM requierments, there aren't much info out there.

Excellent. I will work on setting up a machine for hosting some games then. Very nice... So, when is this game shipping??? mwuuuuhahahahaha

Oh, on a personal not... I was just promoted to Sr. IT Manager at work. Everyone have a beer for me tonight! (or any other beverage of your choice)
