Heya. Just had a few questions I couldn't find the answers to via search. Thanks for any answers you can give.
1) On joining the server, where should I go to find people / RP?
2) In terms of items, would you consider this a high or low magic world?
3) I've heard 30 is the max level on this server. How long should it take the average gamer to get half way there?
4) Is it frowned upon for a sorcerer to take one level of warlock for the saves or a druid to take one level of monk for the AC?
5) What races are allowed on this server? Are there any restrictions aside from ECL?
6) Are there any custom heads / hairs or clothing in game?

1. Most people hang out by the merchant caravan in the farmlands or around the Temple of Bhaal just past the area with all the wolves. Just wandering roads, you'll usually bump into a few people too.
2. It's a fairly low-magic world.
3. It took me about a week and half to get my monk to 14, but I spread the leveling out over a few days. Once you hit the mid-way point, it gets a lot harder to level for most classes.
4. I get the feeling from most people that Power-builds are generally frowned upon here.
5. All races are allowed and no restrictions are applied outside of the ECL. If you choose to play a UD race, however, be prepared to spend a lot of time hiding.
6. There are no custom heads or hair, but there is an in-game appearance changer for armor/weapons.

Wow, talk about your prompt responses!
I think considering there're no custom heads / hairs, I'll go for an air genasi since they always look cool anyway and I might go for a rogue or something.
Which brings me onto another question...
Are there many locks to open / traps to disarm? Also, how about sleight of hand? Is it restricted at all?

As of right now, there are very few opportunities for rogues outside of RP. It is, unfortunately, probably the class that has the least going for it server-wise.

Well, on first impressions it seems the RP on this server is excellent, but much like The Forgotten Realm, it suffers from severe lag. It might be just because I'm in Britain and the server's half way around the world, but I'm not sure I can honestly enjoy this server to its fullest. The one step forward two jumps back routine wears a little thin after a while.
When you guys have a real host for this server, I'll no doubt be back, because it's full of potential, but for now I'll bide my time.
Good luck guys.

It must be your ISP or computer. The server is based in Sweden and I am in the U.S. and it runs fine.

Maybe I should try port forwarding. I'll give the server another shot with the port forwarded.
edit: Ok, seems 5121 was already forwarded.... Really not sure what to do about the lag then.

Well, the server's internet connection is 100mb, so it shouldn't matter if someone is using AWSD or not. Perhaps it is something between Sweden and the U.K.?

WASD is a NWN bug so it is nothing to do with the connection it is just known to do that because nwn is roflpwnage and what their player to click to move.

Actually, using WASD takes more bandwidth, which is why it is associated with lag. Lesser connections can't handle the strain. -driller WASD is a NWN bug so it is nothing to do with the connection it is just known to do that because nwn is roflpwnage and what their player to click to move.

[patriot] Maybe Great Britain is just too great for Sweden to take? [/patriot] I'm going to stay after all I think. It was awfully laggy before, but now it seems to have cooled off a little and after a little RP with Justin Crownsilver, I think I've found my character's place in the world and just feel more confident about the server. The lag's still there for me, but I wouldn't call it unplayable.

Yeah its by no means unplayable; I used to play BGII on a 633Mhz Celeron with 48MB of RAM... now THAT's unplayable! Just remember dont be tempted by the dark side! (WASD keys for movement in other words

Well, I try to click to where I'm going or use tab and t to target, but sometimes you need to use WASD a little bit because the camera in NWN2 can go a little crazy at times.
