*Falls off his chair laughing...*

 Here, here *knock on his desk*. Well said mate. I would like to second the sentiment about Talon, in fact let me tell you a little story about when I first met Tal.

 Back in the dawn of NWN On-line GS was one of the first servers up. I joined GS for the first time and in all my n00b glory I hit up Talon on a how-to on the 3rd party program LETO. He went to great lengths and even greater patience to explain to me the details.

 BTW Jay will be hosting a brand new mod any second.

 Ahh the Planeswalkers, *looks far into the distance*. I was in the Planeswalkers (Planeswalker Crane) and was let in by the founder Abyss and trained by their best Pvper's (Wind, Blizzard, Damien, Cain, etc..) They were by far the best clan in SOU.

 Necriss was the undisputed power house clan of pre-SOU (especially under Jonas). From mid SOU under the Mephisto they started to break apart (especially once Mephisto stopped playing NWN for L2!). IN HOTU I led the Necriss but recently I have gave the reigns of power to the 'Council' and focusing on other things..

 Did you always play under the name gashmo?

 True Trobble true.

 And "420" I have been going on GS almost everyday in the past week, a couple of times I saw you on with your 40 Monk ROFL. Please, duel me anytime you want but I wont be surprised if you pull out every cheap trick in the book to put down this old salty dog^^

Can you define "tampering"?

. Oh, and if Crane was one of those people, thank God, we didn't need him spewing his vile abuse here either.

 First let me start by saying I dont normally "spew" vile and in fact I am as soft and cuddly and harmless as a kitten. I only "spew/curse" when extremely agitated as the situation I had with 420 on that one thread when I felt I got thrashed and attacked for simply responding and posting my thoughts on his thread.

 Secondly yes my posts were directly tampered with with even the wording being changed around to make my posts seem ridiculous. This led me to stop posting on LM altogather since if this was the style of moderation, I want nothing of it.

 Lastly, Nathan has assured me he has restored order and hence I am proud to say I read/post here again.

 I wonder how this compared to the NWN beta events? Anyone got the numbers on this?

This spell creates a severe blast of air (approximately 50mph) that originates from you, affecting all creatures in its path.

 A tiny creature or smaller creature on the ground is knocked down and rolled 1d4x10 feet, taking 1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet.....Medium creatures are unable to move forward against the force of wind....Large or larger creatures may move normally within a gust of wind effect. Any creature, regardless of size, takes a -4 penalty on ranged attacks and Listen checks in the area of the gust...Gust of wind can be made permanent with a permanency spell.

Well Im sorry if I have offended your sensibilities but A, I dont like to be ridiculed and threatened and B I dont like my posts to be edited to change my wording around 'crane_inbred hillbilly'.

 And go talk to whomever you want to talk to '420',  I am sure that when they see the entire argument (in context without my words being edited and jumbled around) they will understand just why I am "foaming" at the mouth and cursing like a *delteted* sailor.

 Ramblings;

  Since the start we noticed that NWN was not a mirror-image of D&D official rules and minutea. NWN never stated to be an exact replica of the D&D engine.

 Personally, nothing will ever compare to the D&D games we had in the 80's. Since no consule will ever be more LUCID than the film of imagination.

  *grumbles as he stands up from his ancient reading chair* What a war? *scratches his looong white beard* "Where is my war Helm and equipment, my sword and staff?" "Bah against the elves?" *opens his war tome for Elven weaknesses, and smiles a loong jaded smile*

thx thx alot
now i can finish my mod

 Not only can you utilize Lilac Soul's excellent script generator Mav but most of the scripts you are looking for are already posted on the vault?

like i was saying ealyer, they should make a new area for mage duels or make like angban or doriath a place for mage battles only, there will be less lag in the halls where other classes can duel

 True that ^O. Talon.....?

Sorry to disappoint, but currently that feature is not available (I doubt it ever will be actually). Given the amount of information of high level detail that the Guild Wars environment has, it is inpropable that hosting you own server would be possible, despite the amazing technology implemented to allow even the slowest internets access to this game. Even in Neverwinter Nights though, a game who has outdated graphics and particle effects (still a great game though   ) still suffers from lag spikes and can only house a small and perhaps moderate amount of players depending on the host's internet connection.

As far as scripting goes, this also would be highly unlikely, if even considered. At the moment there is not going to be a toolset for any type of editing whether it be items to monsters, to landscapes. The closest thing comparable to editing of any sorts would be the fact that you can craft items using tens of raw materials. Guild Wars is setting new trends in the MMORPG market hopefully, but its likeness to Neverwinter Nights is entirely nonexistent except in the case of character classes -- which have also been heavily modified.

 No hosting? No scripting? Bah, the two very things that attracted me to NWN. And..the thought of THACO dueling but I digress.....

  GW will be one of the few on-line games that I will try for 2 reasons. The astounding graphics and the large amount of expert NWN friends of mine that will be trying it out.

 Hopefully it will be a better experience for me than L2 (which sucked). And of course, I will await NWN2 (2006) with great anticipation.
