Neverwinter Nights?
« on: January 27, 2005, 08:07:37 PM »
I've heard a lot of good things about this game, but I never really bothered to look into it. I was hoping someone could explain it to me, like what's the point of it and what it's about. I heard it was single player and mmo, so is there a monthly fee? Just a few broad questions really, I'm just looking in to see if I should try it out or not.

Alright:

No monthly payment (Hurrah!)
DnD based... ish. (Not perfect replica of DnD.)
RolePlay servers
PvP servers
PvM(onster) servers
Lots of fun to be had!

Well, I've never played D&D so that doesn't tell me too much^^; Is there a plot of anysort? What do you do in the single player game? Are the servers only the ones you described or is there a regular mmo server too? Like I said, I've only heard of the game. I really don't know anything about it^^;

mmos are games with thousands playing all the time. NWN has 40 on a server if your a lot.
"Some birds aren't meant to be caged,
their feathers are just too bright.
And when they fly away,
the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoyce.
But still,
the place you live in is that more drab an empty that they're gone.
I guess I just miss my friend."

okie :-

1) NwN's combat system is based off DnD. DnD is the most popular RPG fantasy game out for the last 20+ years. It's quite a tried and tested systtem. In melee you can build almost any tiype of character you lie: shapeshifter, sneaker, assassin, barbarian, paladin, dragon descendant - and mix and match as you like.. so ile you can be 10% sneaker, 30% assassin and 40% dragon descendant. DnD has also the best spellcasting pvp out in any mmorpg atm. Nwncapures all this. If you like spells, you will not have experienced the best until you play nwn.

2) SP campaign has a plot. Also, there are hundreds/thousands even of custom made SP mods on nwvault.com made by the player community. There is even a Monty Python Holy Grail mod..., a Discworld mod  and one called "Sex and the SIngle Adventuress" (okok if that take sur fancy)

3) MP servers usually have a plot if it is an adventure server. Then you adventure with whichever advwnturers happen to drop into the server.

4) NWN is the deepest and richest of any mmorpg and rpg out now. This is becaus eof the toolset. The toolset lets you make your own items and look for your character. NWN is the only rpger/mmorpg out now which lets you start at max level if you so wish in multiplayer.  Want to start as the most awesome max level mage? Sure! Be happy there are lots of other most awesome max level mages out to hunt you too.. that is, if you play in a pvp allowed server (say about 50% of servers are enabled).

5) NWN is the ONLY mmoprg/rpg which lets you actually be Dungeon Master (=DM). This is bascially where you are the administrator for the mod. Ever want to run your own EQ server and spawn monsters for you players? NWN lets you do this.

6) Some say NWN is not an mmorpg. But NWN has 7000-9000 players online at any time time. NWN is a whole serie sof realms/servers, each realm/server having a maximum of 64 players on at the same time. You as a realm traveller can travel to any server you wish. And NWN has the largest number of dedicated server types: PvP, Team PvP, Adventure, Social, RP, Story, even Card Game servers... No other mmorpg has this level of specialisation.

So why pay for 1 game when NWN lets you have hundrds of different games? Yeah.. that's why i like nwn the most.

Hope to see you in Godspires! ^_^

Ah well, I think I'm going to make use of that warnlevel option very soon.

And you may see yourself targeted hell and wobbles (gashmo too), I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets bored of all the junk you 3 post.

I'd like to get a pass on the following rule:

When an admin or moderator finds that a member is an annoyance (possibly to members of LucidMagic), the said admin/moderator may use the warn option for each useless topic, then lock those topics.

:P

Well, the ph-hq board is prolly something for you. Search for it, you'll find it. And if you thing evryone should suite themselfs to you, you're thinging wrong. Also, if poeple pick you out, or say they dislike you, you may try to do something about it insted of running with your head to the wall for a bit more.

It's quite bad you managed it to get pulled over the same line as wobbles(zen) and gashmo in only 1 month time. Just start your own clan and forum (your own little world) and stay there, it's less trouble for us like you act now.

You always can try to do something about it, it's up to you.

i don't know :/ i guess they just don't like me.

what's wrong with just discussion even if I think differently ? I don't think I'm  hurting anyone..and people do respond. If people aren't interested then just don't respond...

But maybe..! Maybe the mods here want more discussion about the rpger games and so on? Hmm.. maybe not. Hard to tell now lol ^^

Maybe its because the topics don't interest females that much? Mel wasn't too keen on the robot topic. But its really interesting..! (for guys i guess...) Maybe I should have made it a robot cleaner maid topic for the home?..hmm..

I was just stating the fact that poeple see you 3 a bit like spammers. Also I didn't say anything about your posts in this thread, I did talk to hell anyway.

I don't have something against you or your topics, (exept the tsunami topic, that one was sick), your posts/topic just are a bit brainless or complety at random time to time. Still that's an opinion and I wasn't stating anything else than poeple their opinions in the post qouted by mo. And it was 100% aimed to hell.

And don't worry if I'm not interested in something, I'm not easy to get bored, but it works in the other direction too. It's only me anyway.

Off topic material here...

Wobbles is the major pain in this board. His posts don't get deleted, because he really hasn't posted anything dumb/arrogant/annoying since the LM change.
HeLL has changed, so you can read his new posts.
Gashmo is not "bored," he's just not keeping his head together, which makes him "spam."


Anyway, the description of NwN is under the forum link, it's an MORPG on the basis of DnD, a dice based game of sorcerery, etc.
