               @MissJaded yes people do still make new stuff for both nwn and nwn2. Just take a look in the modules section for threads discussing new modules and also take a look at the monthly custom content challenge thread.
I personnally am working on a couple of things that are both updates to things I've previously released.


The new vault is a collaborative effort by a number of people from these boards but Rolo is the guy in charge who will gladly explain all about it (he says with a wicked grin ':devil:').

               The sad thing is if the Vault is gone for good then there are ton of modules that are gone with it. Between the nexus and the new NeverwinterVault I count about 30 total NWN modules and three of those are mine lol.

My summer playing list was going to be the Aeilund saga, the Prophet series and maybe the updated ADWR but now I have no way to download those. I only have parts of each series. I'm going to be really sad if I won't get to play them '<img'>

               I can send you all three, FR, and Rolo and his minions backed-up the entire vault, so the content is not lost, simply archived, until it can make its way to the new Vault.

FP!

               <dancing a silly little...>

Woot! I have minions! =) I can hand the Mad Catter over to the Mistress! <he'd undoubtedly enjoy that, if you had a mistress>
But I... <she doesn't count. she'd kill you>
Well, I could... <yes?>
Do I have little squeaky goblins and gassy demons and stuff? <not handy. they're scheduled for later>
Well, I can't just let the crazy feline throw me under the coach! <might get you into the evil league of evil...>
Really? Do I want that? <yup. you get to do lots of cruel and unusual things and people beg for more>
Ok. Sold. Where do I sign? <right over there under that coach. hurry!>
Right! I'm off!
...
<*snickers* ignore *me* for three months, will you?>

I do urge everyone who still has an interest in Vault content to register on the new Vault.
We will open up access to the archives as quickly as possibly.
Until then, if you have content no longer accessible, now's a perfect chance to refresh it and put it up again.

Note: I don't really have minions. But some talented and enthusiastic people are helping me preserve the Vault. I have a gratitude thread lower down in this forum. I mean it. Thank you guys (and gals ;-).

<...I mean, an evil little jig>

               Ah hells...

As someone who hardly ever stuck anything up, but has visted the Vault every day (more or less) for as long as its been going this is most saddening. Saw the 'server not found' pop up last night and thought, hmm must be having some issues... then tried it again today... no change, hope its not what we all think it is.

Damn it. Ive got none of my old NWN1 stuff backed up (got the old max files but cant access any of them anymore).

Heh, so Ataris gone bankrupt? never even knew... I guess patching NWN2 and 1 are gonna become a real problem if I ever have to reinstall, ahck even the model exporter plugins '<img'> think il go and make a few copies of em right now and keep em in a safe place.

Im real glad we have dedicated people like Rolo who've managed to get backups of (most?) of it. Personally never thought it could all just go away, although oddly the thought "wonder if they'll ever shut this place down" did cross my mind a few days ago...

But if theres one thing the NWN community is good at its surviving.

Oh good just noticed the patch files and offline patcher on the new Vault... **wipes brow** I think ill go park my unseen carcass over there '<img'>

Unfortunatly Ive got nothing I can really contribute to the new vault thats old or needed (although I might have some odd hak or zip laying around although more than likely you've already got them).

               Rolo! It's me, Fester Pot!

Perhaps make a news announcement on the new Vault about the archives, what you've backed up and what you plan to do. Good communication will make sure folks don't think the place is dead. The front page of a website is one's bread and butter in keeping folks in the loop.

A good tip for anyone who has taken over a website, or plans to open one.

FP!

               Thanks FP! I'll wait a bit and see if the vault comes back up or if the archive becomes available soon. If not then I'll send you a message and see if you are able to send me the modules. Or at least one at a time since the hak files are probably big.

Very good advice, it took me a while to realize that alexandria burning on the front page was Rolo's reference to the vault burning, and not an actual new historical module

http://neverwinterva...alexandria-burn

I think we who have been working over there, now that the shoe has seemed to drop, are going to be needing a lot of expertise from the entire community. This is not something one person can handle, this is the community itself which needs to come together to survive this.

But also a lot of us tend to just roll up our sleeves and just get to work, and do the best we can with what we have.

If you poke over there and notice something that needs doing, which you think you can do, we'd be more than happy to have you join us, even if you only do a small task. Actually just poking your head in, registering, and making a forum post stating who you are is quite helpful too.

Right now I am focusing on getting thru the crisis, hoping our backups are valid, that nothing is lost, and how to move things back. I do have some processing of files ( download and process the Sha1 ) which just needs you to have bandwidth and being able to leave your computer on - i am on #nwn2cr and you can friend/PM me if you think you can help.

               Very sad if it is permanent.

You can also try the Wayback machine archive.org/web/web.php

Here's a snapshot taken on 13th June

web.archive.org/web/20130611204419/http://nwvault.ign.com/

Here's a link to the modules full listing page

web.archive.org/web/20130411165356/http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php

Whilst it doesn't seem to have the files (very sad face) the webpages are perfectly readable.

Example

               I saw this last night and have been following developments -- still a lot of rumors, but I agree that it looks ominous. I commented on my blog (NWN Vault Down) and will start taking steps to migrate my module pages and the relevant downloads to the new Neverwinter Vault.

               It could be worth noting I have a 4shared premium account that can hold 100GB of data. It's probably not enough for everything in the vault, but it can hold a substantial amount of it I'm sure. I currently only use about 5 gigs of that storage for my various backup files(which includes quite coincidentally the 1.69 update XD. I noticed ignvault kept being buggy and I worried should I install nwn ever again I would be incapable of updating to 1.69 so I downloaded it from the vault and stuck it on my 4shared account >.>). Given the situation of the loss of ignvaults downloads I'll likely place the nwnx files I got from the vault in it as well. Should anyone need one of these feel free to contact me and I will give you a link to download it from the site.
