New MP/PW is it worth it?

[Legacy_Wizard Master]

               I would have to say that it is fun building. Its hard work but very very rewarding. It has an excellent tools for create conversations, story, and so on. I would suggest to create a mod and then upload it. I myself and toying with using the toolset to create a comic using the comic book creator application and NWN1. But I am  also looking to join a PW world. I agree with the above statements. Join a PW world and offer to assist. That way you can get your feet wet. There are other excellent applications and resources that will assist. I use that add on script creator (cant recall the name offhand) that you can create excellent scripts with no scripting experience.



I have just installed NWN1 again after a few years of abscense ready to get back in. If you know of any PW that is needed players and builders /scriptors please PM me.

               I know I have been building in the toolset more than I have ever really played. Just for a hand full of friends, not much else. Over the years I have produced two failed projects which never saw the light of day [aside from weekend tests] because I had to step away for long periods. Real life can get in the way.

Currently, I'm the sole builder, scripter, historian, "name inventor", for my 3rd little PW. It is a LOT of hard work, but work I will gladly pull my hair out for. I really don't know what it is that drives me to do it. lol. I'm sure other PWs (including mine) could use help, even in the smallest form. But, there is nothing wrong with creating your own. The more the merrier and diverse.

               Trying to start a new PW server at this stage in NWN's life cycle would be a waste of time in my experience. I hammered away at that for years and never saw anything for my trouble and I had some pretty good stuff going. (http://nwvault.ign.c....Detail&id=1308)



Joining a server which already has a player base would likely be far more productive. I'm doing Arena type stuff now myself, as the demand is much greater than for PWs. I've seen more action in a few months of having a Team server up than I did in years of running PW stuff. (http://anphilliasdar....proboards.com/)



Hey yeah, make a new arena-type server. The ones up right now all suck, and it's a FAR more practical a goal in every way. Or better yet, do what all the cool kids do and snag something good from the vault and customize it to your liking.

               well Arena server are not very interesting since those are only for players who want to PVP, Well joining a server and joining their staff is by far the best idea to start out.

As Arena's might gather large PVP groups, Roleplay servers are really more interesting since it creates plots and player plots people and DM's need to work with, it requires a bit more then just simple hack 'N slash and in all honesty it is tough to get players for your new world/server. It might take years or it will never come that players will join in to play. But that is how the dice roll.


In any case, if you decide to join a community then you might want to consider helping us out, we are always looking for people in either staff or players.

but I leave that choice entirely up to you.
I hope you will find what you are looking for

I found the NWN2 toolset to be one of the steepest learning curves (its nothing short of a nightmare IMO). Having said that, I'm very much a novice builder (read: none or very little experience) in the original toolset, hence why I've declined (as politely as possible I hope) assisting anyone with their building. The last thing I want to do is produce something so mediocre/ poor that it ruins people's fun.



As Dark Defiance states, RL has been and is a constant bugbear, so I doubt I'd ever get to the point of building something along the lines of where I currently play (Avlis).



Having said that... I do plan on having a go and seeing if I can get ~something~ done. Just to see if I can do it. Probably just a small mod, nohing major. This all depends on time, which as we all know, there isn't enough of!

               We have a fledgling new server that has been in development for a VERY long time and now is in beta!



We would love to host any new RPG groups or dungeon adventurers that would be willing to put up with "beta" reporting as they go. We would also like to extend an invitation to all players, DMs, and developers that are looking for a world that they can have the freedom to build to their own needs and still remain part of a dedicated fun NWN community.
