On another note. Any chance there is to be a temple or refuge for followers of Eilistraee on the surface? seems the only major Drow God thats not present on the server. I don't know if this would be a good idea... On an RP server I used to play for NWN1 they did this, and it didn't turn out very well. Long story short, what ended up happening was that all the good drow would hang out in the shrine on the surface and all of the evil surfacers and drow haters (not to mention the Underdark drow) found its location and they would frequently go slaughter everyone there for fun. Every other day there would be a fight there... it really got out of hand! Maybe it such a thing was implemented on our server it would be best to have it in an extremely remote location, though I know that the folk that make up the players on The Sword Coast Chronicles are friendlier and better Role-players than the people on any other server I’ve seen, and probably wouldn’t be slaughtering all them all the time, but… *shrugs* Aren't there supposed to be very, VERY few good drow anyways? I don't think there would realistically be enough to even establish a shrine anywhere on the surface... just my thoughts on the matter =]

well the number one thing that would help bring more into the UD would be to build out the scripted quests to the same level as the surface. people tend to go where the action is...

Aye, that would be a good idea. People will tend to flock near areas where quests lurk and the presence of NPC given quests would be a good gathering point for players.

DM Mithari is right about the events, though. The blackened maps make planning an event down there very, very difficult. Much as it makes it more fun for the players, it's nothing but a big headache to the DMs.

then i say kill the darkened maps. imho it doesnt add a lot from my perspective as a player and if it stops even one dm holding an event that's sucky.

On that note that is a good point that will need to be adressed before UD opens to the surface. Considering all the high level/epic level characters on the surface versus the very few players in the UD it would be a slaughter feast as well as spoil playing a UD character. Also I know it will be pretty lame to be a low level Drow for example walking around Sshamath and at every turn there is a Epic level Surfacer walking around. Its not a Bias thing but I think my point can be seen on that matter. Gotta put some heads together on this one lol.

any non-drow entering sshamath had better understand that when in sshamath you do as the drow say.
regardless of you being epic and them being level 5.
when in rome....

A Vhaerunite is now leading the united states of america.
Just like his predecessors, he shall make a lot of money, and fool you into being a good guy!

haha, well if obama is a vhaerunite then the shrub was a banite ;-)
but i guess it makes sense that obama is drow vhaerunite with a +2ecl, i mean compared to the shrub who couldn't string a sentence together it's obvious obama has at least +2int stat. har!

Is there a temple of Eilistraee on the surface near Baldur's Gate in FR lore? If not, why would we have one on the server? If there is, why wouldn't we?
