Hi there. I stumbled across this site after looking through the Bioware forums while searching for information on NWN 2 multiplayer activity. Having always loved the old BG games, this server really intrigues me because of its blending my two favorite series of games of all time into one. I have a few questions I'd like answered. First, is this place active (many people online at the same time)? Secondly, can I expect to enjoy roleplaying here/is the quality of roleplaying good?
I'm desperate to find a reason to buy the two expansions for NWN 2. I really, really want to start roleplaying again. Thanks.

A great question. Here is an honest answer.
There are several excellent, top-notch role players on this server. That being said there are some who could use a little work ;D.
As the Development team states this is not an RP mandatory server. Some folks RP (and the ones that do are some of the best) some go out and grind... and some have absolutely terrible names and almost ruin the experience for me from time to time.
There is also a script that awards players fro RP. Yes. You can actually shoot the breeze with a fellow adventurer in character and receive XP for it. Fantastic.
The Forgotten Realms Lore around this place is amazing. The DMs and quite a few players really know their stuff! It definitely has it's classic Baldur's Gate Nostalgia with some familiar places as well.
All in all. For the folks who do RP this server is great. 100% worth visiting BG:TSCC.

The last several days we have seen an average of 30-35 people online most all of the time. Lots of good RPs and good people in general.

It's not an RP-mandatory server? Just how many people with the name "~~~MEPHISTOPHELES~~~bloodclan~~~" go roaming about? Can I choose to ignore people like that? Can I write a petition to have RP BE mandatory?  By the way, thanks for the replies. It's nice to be informed. |

I can't say Ive seen a persons name that bothered me in a while. Granted some play a lot more than me but its by no means an epidemic. The rules state the naming guidelines and rebuilds will happen if people are to out there with their name choice. y
You won't see any names like you just mentioned.

Okay. The screenshots I've seen of some of the areas are absolutely beautiful; you guys must've put a lot of time and effort into this. You should see me on there in a week or so. Buh-bye.

I don't want to give you the wrong impression here. There is no-one with the name ~~~MEPHISTOPHELES~~~bloodclan~~~... lol
There are naming conventions and rules set in place to keep it in check.
The quality of RP on this server totally outweighs the extremely slight and very infrequent OOC shenanigans.
From a fellow RPer. It is a great server. Grab your favorite PC and get in the game!

i've been playing on the server for a little over week now and it sounds like im a similar type of rp personage to you une.
I love the lore and IC rp action.
The turdblossoms that live for exploits and idiotic munchkinism metagaming belong in WOW imho.
The server could be a little more *structured* in it's approach to such matters but i have to say so far im really enjoying it.
The devs are very proactive and responsive, working to plug the worst exploits and enhance the game.
The dms are very active and aren't afraid to run world-changing events.
All in all two thumbs up from me.

Oh and we have Red Wizards too! *nod nod* We have dead wizards, too! And we have people who are no wizards at all! Really, there´s a lot of possibilities to roleplay and I have experienced none of the worries you express to be true here. |
