trouble getting into IGN neverwinter vault
« Reply #60 on: June 29, 2013, 02:31:44 am »


               I have just found out that  http://nwvault.ign.com/ is back to working fully again for me too.
And it's also running very smoothly for me too. Though sometimes it will be quite slow.

@ "henesua" and "Tarot Redhand" Thanks a lot for your very helpful replies. '<img'>
I have taken in both of your advice and info. When I get a spare few mins I can register on the new neverwinter vault site and introduce myself e.t.c.

I've had a quick check of the afore mentioned 2 other game links at the original
site - Warhammer and Vanguard. It appears those 2
are still down. But I've never played them myself. So It doesn't really
affect me, gladly.

It's really good that there is a new
neverwinter vault, and I'm sure people have been working hard to try and
salvage as much as they can and transfer a lot of stuff across there so I can have a look around and grab something I like. (which for me is mostly story modules and haks made by the very clever community) It means that in future there won't be a problem if they ever decide to cut off acccess to us at the original IGN Neverwinter Nights Vault with no initial warning.

Even though I have picked up and enjoy playing new games over the years, Neverwinter Nights 1 will always be my first love of fantasy gaming.'B)'

               even if the Vault is back for now a back up (and eventual replacement) is critical.  The underlying issues with Atari, rights, and IGN's concern or lack thereof for NWN means the future is best held by the community as much as is practicable.
The Vault coming back online is like an engine that's making a bad noise suddenly quiets back down, shortly after that's when a rod comes through the side of the block...

               Greetings.
I'm a Spanish user of this forum. I've just registered in. Sorry if I can not make myself very understandable and for my poor english.
I've read the thread about the near closure of the IGN Neverwinter Vault. You're not the only who are worried about this possibility; other people as I, to the other side of the Atlantic are anxious about this issue.
¿Does anybody know how much space in GBs occupies all the NWN Vault? I ask this because I'm trying to download a WHOLE BACKUP of the entire IGN web with the WinHTTrack app. I already have download up to 5GB and it still keeps on working.
I hope this question don't bother anybody.
I would be thankful if you could clear up my doubt.
Centimano.

                From the recent back up, they reported it at about 400Gb.   http://neverwintervault.org/

It however looks like the vault is not going anywhere from OTR's recent post.  Rumors of NWVault's death greatly exaggerated. Info from IGN:

Approximately 400 GB, The Vault backup team already has a complete backup, so you do not have to worrry about it.
neverwintervault.org/

Aproximadamente 400 GB, el equipo de apoyo Bóveda ya tiene una copia de seguridad completa, por lo que no tiene que worrry respecto.

               Ok, I understand. I'm absolutely IMPRESSED. I estimated that it could occupy around 20-30 Gb, at most.
Anyway, I'm still worried. The vault is too important to dissapear someday; it's a site that must survive over the years. It may last at least 20 years and I'm not joking. It's a extremely important repository. And I tell the same about other pages, such as sorcerers.net, pocketplane.net, gibberlings3.org and others. At least I have downloaded the two first, entirely.
Does anybody know how many years is the NWN Vault planified to go on? I feel somewhat desperate, sorry.
I have nightmares thinking about the possibility of entering one day internet and realize that all this precious material is forever lost.
Maybe, in the future, if you want, I could hold one of the backups or maybe help some other way.

For the rest, thank you very mucho for your responses.

Centimano.
