Does anyone here play NWN?

Just curious if anyone here plays Neverwinter Nights at all or if they are interested in playing on a NWN RP server, because I have been playing on one for some time and it's great, basically what NWN should have been like when it was released, but never was.

Anyone out there?

    Well I used to. I wasn't really satisfied with NWN, so your server sounds interesting... My game's at school, though, so I can't play now and might be busy later.

    What I play on is called "CoPaP" which is "The Confedration of Planes & Planets" that is basically a collection of heavily moderated worlds to make sure that nothing is overpowered and they are all linked via portals. They are all set up to be realistic RP environments and are low magic worlds so no noobs running around with +7 equiptment. The main world would have to be Avlis which itself needs 5 servers to contain the world (you transition normally for these, they aren't via portals, it's almost transparent server changing) and is still expanding (more areas are being added all the time). It's basically more a real world environment rather than Diablo hack & slash but there is plenty to fight if you want. There is all background for everything, maps of the entire world (the 5 servers only cover about 1/3 of the real world, more servers are planned, some heavily underway). It even has it's own crafting system where you can chop trees, mine ore and everything, smelt it down, make weapons, etc. In a word, it's huge. I've been playing for around 7 months now and I know only a small amount of whats there in terms of the areas, so don't go out alone, you'll get lost, heh.

    So yeah, it's quite good, lol.

    Er, Avlis is... http://www.avlis.org (under heavy load atm due to another feature on Biowares site about it and NWNX)
    and CoPaP is http://www.copap.org

    Anyone else interested? Would be fun to meet some SM people in game...

    Oh, forgot to mention custom races that have been implemented, I'll try and name a few off the top of my head.... (i.e. playable, not just enemies and such)

    Moon Elves
    Drow
    Sun Elves
    Githzerai
    Githyanki
    Shasheek (Lizardmen)
    Centuars
    Wemics
    Changelings (same as Dopplegangers but not natually evil)
    Duergar
    Half-Nymphs
    Half-Dryads
    Gnolls
    Half-Ogres
    Orcs
    Aasimar
    Ghostwise Halfling
    Tiefling
    Kobolds...

    etc etc the list goes on, heh, all have special stats like the original races, all have their own sets of abilites and such. It's one of the best things about it, not the usual 5 races :P

    It always seemed like NWN could be made really great but it just hadn't been done... I may try that out (in a couple weeks). Glad you posted about it.

    Let me try and compile a full list of playable races over the different linked worlds....

    Human
    Elf
    Half-Elf
    Halfling
    Half-Orc
    Dwarf
    Gnome
    Moon Elf
    Drow
    Drangonari Elf
    Sun Elf
    Ghost Elf
    Githzerai
    Githyanki
    Shasheek (Lizardmen)
    Centuar
    Wemic
    Changeling (same as Dopplegangers but not natually evil)
    Duergar
    Half-Nymph
    Half-Dryad
    Gnoll
    Half-Ogre
    Orcs
    Aasimar
    Ghostwise Halfling
    Tiefling
    Goblin
    Stone Dwarf
    Vasharan
    Deep Gnome
    Gold Dwarf
    Lightfoot Halfling
    Pygmy
    Rock Gnome
    Shield Dwarf
    Strongheart Halfling
    Wild Elf
    Wood Elf
    Minotaur
    Bantmar
    Shadow Elf
    Alfheim Elf
    Lizardman
    Fire Genasi
    Water Genasi
    Shadow Dwarf
    Kobold

    And I think that is it. There may be one or two that I have missed but afaik thats most of them. One of the linked worlds was Moonsea which is the one in Faerun but that is under changeover right now so it's down. That still leaves four linked worlds though, lol (8 whole servers).

    You'll want someone to send you the stuff on disc. You need the CEP Haks and other haks to play (CEP is virtually official now) but all in all it comes to a huge amount, a few hundred meg. Worth it though, it adds thousands of new items, races and tilesets (it would be a bit boring with the original NWN stuff considering there wasn't much of it),
