Hello, I played yesterday for the first time and after searching the boards, there are still some things I don't understand. So please tell me...
a) how is death exactly handled? the rules section just deals with behavior. From here and there I gather you lose a 5% of XP (ouch at higher levels!), go to Plane of fugue, but really I am not sure about the details and can't find them written anywhere.
b) I am new to multiplayer in NWN2, where can I get a list of commands? (see who's online, managing chat channels, tips, etc.)
c) Is the lag from yesterday (around 21h GMT) a normal thing? because game was unplayable at times. Or maybe it was just me, and I am doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

a) when you die, you leave a corpse where you fell, and you go to the fugue plane. from there you have to run up the path and into the castle thing to talk to myrkul. he can send you back to your body, or back to BG.
b) the "P" button now opens th eplayer list, however, for player chat, you have to go down to the little menu icon and select it from there. it opens a new little window with all the characters' names as well as the DMs'.
c) the lag is an issue they've been working on. unfortunately, for now, it's an issue you just kinda have to deal with. i'm almost positive that they're looking for an upgrade in the host, but it costs some serious cash.

When you die you are transfered to the Fugue. You need to make your way across the zone to Bone Castle and speak with the god of the Dead Myrkul. He will present you with a few options on where you will respawn.
b) I am new to multiplayer in NWN2, where can I get a list of commands? (see who's online, managing chat channels, tips, etc.)
In the lower left corner of your screen you will see an icon with an eye in it. Click on it and you will see a list of options that will help you in this regard. also to swap out the camera modes use the * key close to the num pad.
c) Is the lag from yesterday (around 21h GMT) a normal thing? because game was unplayable at times. Or maybe it was just me, and I am doing something wrong?
Im talking with a few companies about professional hosting. Before I commit to one I want to make sure we are getting the best deal.
Thanks for playing, stick around things are really going to take off over the next few months.

Thank you both for your answers. I will definitely stay here, as the good things I'm finding greatly outweight a little lag, doesn't it?
So if I am correct, when you die you lose nothing but go to plane of fugue, if Myrkul sends you back you lose 5% XP, if you are resurrected by a player you lose nothing. So there is no reason to go back to my corpse then? I am too used to EQ, where your corpse meant everything.
