               I have been noticing that new players have been joining several PWs every day. Seems things are actually increasing in the NWN World.

Awesome.

               That's great news. Is there a link to a site that compiles such information? As someone not really familiar with the realm of PWs I would be interested in knowing where to find this sort of thing out.

               Nothing scientfic but alot of smaller PWs and some of the major ones I have noticed have been gaining in numbers as we too have been. And seeing that some people were trying to dwell on the negativity of NWN aging I wanted to point out that  alot of older players have been recently turning up for us and some other servers.

The only place I know of that show the number of players online is the old bioware site.  It currently shows about 970 players online. 

I Like the site linked below also.   It comes from this thread on the old bioboards. 

EDIT:  I hope you dont mind me useing you server as an example TMSDude.

               I think there are still a good core of folks about; the challenge is finding compatible times to play for those in varying time zones.  RL issues and new interests cause some to take a break for awhile at times.  When those resolve, or they get bored, they often return, looking for fresh opportunities to adventure.  I suspect this holds more true for those old guard PNP folk, than for those who originally came to play NWN via the "newest, hottest computer game" channel '<img'>

               My brother and his wife recently re-installed, and I picked up a copy at a charity shop that I bought for a friends son who likes fantasy games.  He loves it and is even converting his dad.  There's life in the old dog yet '<img'>

You may well have a point there.  I'm from a PnP background myself, and it's the ability to weave a good story among the action that has me loving the ability to create with it.

Exactly.  I'm more than satisfied with the current graphics and the still expanding ocean of CC available to paint the stories I wish to tell. I don't care if my games don't look as hot as the lastest FPS, the graphics support the story, they don't make the story IMHO.

               I think we are seeing a small boon as of late as more players tend to start drifitng into the PnP style. I think this game above many else lends itself to that creative style much like PnP.
