Hi Everybody! (New player needs help)

[gulli05]

Hi there. I am new here as it is I am downloading the files and making myself ready to play. There are a few things i want to ask (Couldn't find any info on the forum).

Questions:
1. About playble races, are all okey to play? No restrictions?
2. About prestige classes, are all okey to play? No restrictions?
3. How many DMs do you have here and do they often play and do events?
4. Are there many european players and DMs here?



Little about me:
I have played NWN2 since it came out, I have played DnD PnP for 4-5 years (Both as Player and DM), I am a major fan of the forgotten realms and I am glad I found this server. One of my favorite places are on the Westren Heartlands.
I hope to meet as many RPers as possible soon

Yay I am first ;D

Welcome to the server From what I can tell you, you sure made a good choice. About your questions:

1. No restrictions I know of, although you will encounter much (rp) hatred when playing an underdark race. Your choice ;D

2. I believe Red Dragon Disciple is currently forbidden, and Storm Lord seems to be frowned upon recently, although I haven´t heard anything about blocking it as well.

3. About 8 or 9 DMs, and judging from the regularity from the events, most of them were chained to their pcs. No really, you get a lot of events on a daily basis, in nearly every timezone.

4. I haven´t heard of any European DM yet (well i didn´t ask them, but I think some are), but I and several other players are European, so yes.


See you in the realms

1. From what I’ve seen, all races are ok to play. If you play an Underdark race however, you will likely be attacked on site.. especially if you are a Drow. Some of the more powerful races have xp penalties applied.
2. If I understand it correctly, all Prestige classes can be played with the exception of Red Dragon Disciple. There are some RDD now, but soon they will be prevented from leveling any further and new RDD are not going to be allowed.
3. I think the official count is 8 DMs, and they are all kick ass and most of them are fairly active on both player/DM side of things. There are events daily. I’ve played during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and late night over my course of being here (about a month) and the majority of the time something is going on somewhere. It may not always be a big long drawn out plot line, but most of the time at least one of our DMs is on and active.
4. I’ve actually noticed in increase in Euro players, so you shouldn’t have any problems with that at all.

Aside from that, good luck and make sure you read up on the forums. A lot of issues, questions, and suggestions have been discussed that will help you along your way.

Thanks for the replies. I just had to ask about the races and classes cause on most server they ban a whole lot of things but it seems diffrent here and it makes me happy.

Well, I look forward to playing on Baldur's Gate, as it is one of my favorite places in the Realms and I hope to see you all in-games soon (if this will ever finish to download hehe)

If you have any questions in game, just PM somebody, everyone is always more then happy to help.

I'm not sure about DM location either, but I generally get on in the afternoons CST so I meet a lot of the Europeans. Haunted is on at that time too quite often.

You seem to have gotten the info you were looking for so I will merely welcome you to the fold.

Well met gulli05.

Thanks for the warming welcomes everyone

In terms of the DM's....well, it is rare that I have been on here and there not be one online doing something. You have chosen a place that will be ever filled with adventure and excitement.......Welcome aboard and Game on!

Well, I think I'm what they call European player. I usually play on weekends, but don't get me wrong, I am being the biggest newbie still.

As for races, people 'mistake' my Tiefling for a Half-tree-hugger. So if you want to play as one those 'less liked races', you can easily hide your face, feet, hands and thus have fun trying to keep your origin as a secret.


See you around.
