Go ahead with the placed effects Wiz, but try to keep it to a minimal still.. dont want to overload with lag. As for me, I prob wont use them as I have hardly ever used them and it may take a bit for me to slip through them all to see what I got. I shouldnt be working sunday, but if I am then Ill be out by 7 or so. Now the only thing I need to decide is whether to do a improv event or try to plan one out..*shrugs* Ill just try to improv it with a set hook -line-sinker.

On the placed effects, I know how much you guys love them but lets don't use them yet. As we have all seen the server has had a harder time than usual of late and we really need it running in top form for several reasons. The two most important are you don't want to mar someones first impression with lag and second the proper clean up scripts still aren't in place. The Server Monitor tool also doesn't let me reset the server anymore so we have to depend on Driller to manually reset it. The last thing we need is for the server to crash out for the whole day Sat or Sun. Its something I am very afraid of at this point. I'm working hard on trying to get the right files on the test server so we can move forward with it but so far it has been a slow go. Thanks for your understanding.

I had something magnificent planned, one that involved the major factons, the Flaming Fist, the iron Throne, the merchants guild, even the duke and some others for saturday but alas...something in IRL came up.
Yesterday, my sisters grandfather died (same mother diff father so two sets of grandparents) and the wake is this friday and the funeral is saturday, probably in the morning, and in the after noon I have my PnP session.
I will sign up for an even sunday though as i am not working at all.

I'm available to give a tour on Saturday (2 AM GMT) and Sunday (3 AM GMT) for 1 hour tours but am having difficulty scheduling the tours. Has anyone one been able to schedule anything? If so can you leave a description of how it was done in this thread please. also, is the following sufficient to inform new players about the server: Go to this web address and click the link near the bottom of the page. Follow the instructions near the link. nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2Gameworlds.Detail&id=196HOW TO PLAY ONLINE This is a very simple process. It may seem like a lot of steps but that’s only because I have written out each step in detail. Just follow these steps word for word and you will be done in about 15 minutes. ***The Mask of the Betrayer Expansion is required*** A new version of Worldgate is needed. It's quick and easy, and here's how. 1. Open your control panel and remove the current Worldgate you have installed now. 2. Click the Link to download the new version of Worldgate. Open this folder and copy all of the contents to your desktop or any other folder, so long as it isn't the NWN2 folders. 3. Type the name of the PW in the top line. In the lower left corner there is a button that says "From URL" on it. Open it and type this into it: 81.216.76.26/driller/worldgate 4. Close the box and hit test and exit. Start downloading.

DM Iceshard yes I have invited other gameworlds to NWCon4 those youve mentioned too. but sadly I think some of them do not share the same feelings on NWCon4 being any importance to the NWN2 community like yourselves here do. but NWN2 is starting to make a stronger stand in the online community with NWCon4. We are one day away from it this September 26th. So time is running out to include more sessions for NWCon4. Think ive failed to mention the prizes at NWCon4 and some of its sponsors. Scot Johnson at www.myextralife.com has offered up three signed copies of his "56 Geeks" poster. They will be awarded to the winners of the NWN 1 Pyramid Team Challenge. Neverwinter Connections own Lazybones, has stepped up and contributed two prizes to be awarded as door prizes for the Con. www.neverwinterconnections.com (ive heard rumors as to what he will be mailing out) Neverwinter Nights Podcast has some of its store products to mail out. neverwinternightspodcast.com/Atari Europe has generously offered 10 copies of the NWN2 Expansion, Storm of Zehir and a real life wicked Sword!

I have scheduled an event for Friday the 26 at 11:30 AM. This event is open to the public (server and Con visitors). However out of the 17 games posted for friday, most of them are empty. Unfortunatly I can not run a game at night as I will be with my wife I think. So the event I have will go from 11:30 till 3:30 or so. If its needed I can start later as well and make it go later either way. Despite the description I will be running this as an improv event none the less.. so we shall see how it goes.
Description of "Echoes of Silence" After nearly a month on the stormy and bumpy seas you have come to your destination, The City of Baldur’s Gate. Its glory demonstrated in the massive buildings overlooking the busy streets below, you have only heard stories of the things to be found within the region. Before you unload your gear from the ship you already hear rumors of happenings within the city, and places in search of new travelers such as your self. You find little time to ditch your sea legs and return to the trenches of being an adventurer as something has already caught your ear, and perked your fancy! A local museum in Baldur’s Gate has recently dispatched a dig team to some nearby ruins and now seeks an armed escort for their return of a mysterious artifact. But something tells you this is not as simple as it seems. With recent rumors of unexplained horrors along the road and increased hostility from the wildlife you can only guess these occurrences are somehow related. Even with questions and doubt in your mind, you still find that the payout for such a job is much higher than your concerns for your own safety.

Atari EU is also offering 5 copies of The Witcher as prizes, OBE has offered up some T-Shirts and Pens for prizes as well.. Now the only problem is.. We need people to join in the games and then I guess write reviews? How does one win these prizes lol. I wouldnt mind a sword for some reason.. but Storm of Zehir would be a nice victory! -Ice

Hm.. not quite sure I follow you Skunk. I was under the impression that some DM or Player of events would win the games. However after your above statement it sounds like we get the game, then can hand it out to a Vistor during the Con? lol was looking to bag the game through DMing. However looking over the weekends scheduled games, most of those games are NWN1 CEP servers.. most of the NWN2 worlds (very few posted) have no players in them, only a couple have about 2 players. However those who are signed up for NWN2 I did send them messages on your site extending an invitation to come play here for the Con or overall. Hope we get some turnout at least -Ice
