Online Campaign - Player Limit?
« on: October 15, 2011, 11:26:11 pm »


                Hey guys, can't seem to find this answer anywhere on the internet.  How many people can play through the NWN campaign online at a time?  I have a total of 4 people interested but only if we can all play together.  Thanks!

               Four can multiplay the OC at once. From Bioware's module description

This module was designed for 1-4 players of levels 3-8.

But, the readme.txt notes that the Prelude (the tutorial before Chapter One, where the PC is still a student) is designed to be single-player. I seem to recall playing it with a partner once, but I don't know if something would break with four players. The Prelude is pretty short anyway, so, if your friends don't a have a 3rd level character ready to go, it would be easy to have each player play the prelude in SP mode with a new character. Then start hosting the MP game in Chapter One by chosing those characters.

               Prelude works fine with multiple people.  Not perfectly, but fine.

You can have more than 4 people playing regardless, it just isn't balanced for it.  There's a reason Persistent World modules can have 20+ people online at once.
