GREYCLIFF RP Server--In BETA, seeking staff & players
« on: September 16, 2010, 04:35:34 am »


               GREYCLIFF ROLEPLAYING SERVER

Current version: V0.7
Our server is currently in beta testing and construction, and not under regular play. We are seeking anyone interested in joining us, in any way. We are gearing up for beta testing and have begun work on our forums and website at greycliff.org. You can also find us at #greycliff on irc.darkmyst.org. Screenshots and more information!
  • Harcore roleplay. Not in the sense of, "why haven't you roleplayed your character using a chamberpot? It's been a whole day!" but in the sense that we enjoy crafting and experiencing stories together.
  • Players effect the world. Player's efforts will slowly cause the server's level cap to rise for all players.
  • Low level. Characters start at level one and advance best through quests and DM'd events. The absolute maximum level is 16, and a server-wide "soft cap" to maximum level is applied based on how much the area has been developed by players.
  • Low magic. Magic is uncommon. Higher-end equipment is mundane.
  • Custom setting geared towards accomplishing the above ideals. Specifically, many of the troubles players will face are not in the form of flaming evil demons but in the form of other people (often human) with their own troubles. This allows for a far greater range of solutions, reactions, and actions.
  • Players can change the module. In fact, the server is specifically geared towards encouraging characters to be an active part of not only their town but the world itself. Levels are capped relative to the development of the town, and it's development is up to them. Want to start a rebellion? Alright. Want to quelch it? Also alright! We value characters of all alignments and their effect on the world.
  • Implemented systems so far include CEP 2.3, yearly seasons and weather, player stores, fishing, natural resource crafting, persistent chests & banking, KOTOR heads, and random quests.

I'll just jump in here quick and mention what our under-construction server is doing. We had the same problem back at the server we came from (which was a NWN2 server). And it *does* affect roleplay, not just fighting. We've set it up so that:

1. The maximum level anyone can ever reach will be 16.
2. Getting higher than level six is not a matter of time or who staff likes best, but who asks for and completes special quests.
3. Initially, the maximum level will be 6, not 16, as the main town is a small frontier town that specializes in....*drumroll* fish. The maximum level will only go up as the town develops, most likely through player initiative (ie setting up a store, doing crafting, etc). Players are strongly encouraged to invest in the town.

What this means is that, one, we will never be looking at a 40-level wide gap. Closer to a ten-level wide gap. It also means that old players will not get a massive head start--they will be capped at the same level as everyone else until the town develops. So new players will have an easier time catching up. This also means no amount of grinding or brown-nosing will get you to the top. Everyone can request a challenge, and everyone can complete it.

Ripped this from another thread....and it actually made me more interested in this server.

I'll take a look to see if the design is good :-)

Whats the IP by the way? It is fixed?

No Vault page?

               Heya! Sorry, didn't know there were any replies. We are currently waiting for vault page approval as we gear up for beta. So far we have just been in construction. Our website has been moved to it's permanent and official place at Greycliff.org, and we can be found on irc.darkmyst.org at #greycliff. Our website and forum are still heavily under construction as we only got it up a day or so ago, however! Also, thank you for the feedback on which interested you more. =)

               The server is currently up for people to take a look at before Beta begins, and for last-minute testing, however the community is not currently active on the server until Beta begins. We have provided information for how to get connected here.

                Updated the original post, though oddly some changes aren't coming in. Strange.

Anyhow, we're currently working on V0.8. We have an active IRC channel and would love to meet any interested players!

               Just FYI, none of your pictures are visible.  Judging by the source URL, I'm guessing you're linking them from a gmail account.  The only person who can view images from your gmail account is you, and only when you're logged in, so they'd be visible to you but no one else.  If they're being hosted somewhere else, then I have no idea idea why they're not showing up, but they're still not!

               Ok...lets go off-topic for a bit.

Ah..you mean why I joined the NWN2 IRC chat and also want to bring more NWN1 people there. Well because I know that the chat welcomes NWN1 people also...and they had no known chat to hang for some reason...

I am not really a fan of NWN2 as you can see...however I shut my mouth about that on the IRC chat mostly so it should be no problem. Although I think we can discuss even though having different thoughts.

To be clear I DO see some win-win out of cooperation between the NWN1 and NWN2 community...so my last comment was maybe a bit harsh...even though I still stand by it...


I think it is really sneaky to search up comments by me and quote them with comments like that. Don't do that please....because I could get the feeling that we are not wanted on the IRC chat....and that isn't what you want right?

               Well, don't make those kinds of statements and everything should be fine (and... just to be clear; you did make the statement, right?).

But how reading topics at random qualifies as "really sneaky" is beyond me.

And the chat room has nothing to do with this... I think your tin hat must have fallen off if you're seeing conspiracy theories here.
