Time to start tagging twitter posts with something like #NWN10Years. '<img'>


BtB suggested some sort of twitter thing somewhere already....

ahhh, here it is:

Will there be a problem if I manually seprate our log files into 24 hr periods? I will just cut and paste all info from each 24 hr period into 14 seprate logs corresponding with the 14 days of the event if that is acceptable.



no, that would be fantastic.

to tally them up, i would just need some idea how your are counting a "once per day" find for your server.


Well if that is acceptable, I will just make a seprate log for each day starting at 12:00am, and going to 11:59 pm.

               Hey all,

As with many you, I have also been feeling that there's a need for a more centralized source of info about the events, participating worlds, and all things relevatn to NWPAD.

So, I've created a basic website at:   www.nwpad.weebly.com.


Its still early in development, but you can see where I'm headed and should have it fully up and running later today or tomorrow (or at least ready for ppl to point to it). I'll be adding a schedule of events, more about Rolo's Server Crawl, hopefully more about individual server events, a list of how PWs can support NWPAD, and some upcoming cool stuff that will be done to highlight the efforts of the most under-appreciated group: custom content creators (think NWPAD's community lifetime achievement awards!) - more to come.

Much of the content will be sources from this thread or the project boards.

What I need:
If your world is participating - PM me your schedule of events (or a link to it). I'd love to add screenshots of your world as well. send them to me at thudnblunder at hot mail dot com. I'll add them throughout the site and will try to tag them being from your world.

We've decided to go full in on this and will be running our recurring Play-New-Characters event for the entire period - effectively meaning that we seal of the low level areas and hubs from all existing characters so that everyone starts out new and on same terms. It's usually great fun and there'll definitely be a lot roleplay to experience for anyone dropping by



Awesome!  This is very cool and I can't wait to check it out.  What's even better is that you've done it before, so your players know what to expect.

               Well so this is how it's going to go down for us.

I am still not sure how many global winners will be accepted, but for Av3 I will award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The awards are noted in the thread on our boards. If the global winner(s) choose to redeam on Av3, that prize is also noted there. If there is a tie (both locally and or globally) the prizes will be split (at least on Av3, I can not speak to how this may be handled by NWPAD.)

As far as the event is concerned starting June 18th I will place one of the code redeaming chests in low, mid and high lvl areas, and will update the sign accordingly so that people know where to look for them. This should allow new players access to them, but yet not have it in the loading area, where by all people need to do is log in for 2 min to get the code for the day. And yet also provide regulars an opportunity to get the codes in areas appropiate for their toons. I will most likely move the chests around periodically through out the course of the event (the 2 weeks), and update the sign accordingly.

Keep in mind this is a competition for the players. So delvulging the location of the chests to others may not be in your best interest, and yet finding one with a party for that particular day may be.

Also, you can open the chest multiple times, but only the first time you do, per 24 hrs of the event, will count towards your local and global checkin count.

The 24 hr interval will start at 12:00 am 6/18/12 CST. and End (for Av3) at 11:59 PM 7/3/12 CST. Every day the day rolls over from 11:59 pm to 12:00 am begins a new interval at which a new code will be accepted (both locally and globally) towards that individual's check in count.

The check in's are logged in the server log, and tied to our public CD keys. There is nothing players need to do, other than find the chests, retrieve the codes. I will award our local winners, and the global winners will be notified by the NWPAD team. If the global winner chooses to redeam their global prize (in addition to the GoG sponsored, free copy of nwn1) on Aventia 3, I will facilitate that in addition to our local winner prize.

Anyone have questions related to Av3's participation feel free to ask.

               Neverwinter's 10th anniversary is 12 days away.  Are you ready?  

Is your server interested in saying thank-you to the players who play there and taking some time to reflect upon the limitless fun this game has provided?

               The website looks absolutely great. We'll be sending newsletters out soon linking to it and the excitement is really building in our community. Most DMs have also said they'll be around all they can running events, so we'll probably have a good handful events each day. Personally, though I imagine it being busy days, I also hope to get around visiting each other world participating once.

As for the chest (or the equivalence) I hope it's alright we simply have it in our OOC entrance areas. We're just really zealous in avoiding OOC elements in the IC game world.

               Oh, something... Your link to our PW on the webside (Ravenloft POTM) links to http://www.worldofcaenyr.com/ - should point to http://www.nwnravenloft.com

               I am sure that is fine Zara, BTB stated as much. RP servers have a unique challenge integrating this into their worlds, and however it is handled is all good I imagine.

I just wanted to say, thank you very much BelowTheBelt, and acomputerdood for organizing this. I imagine it has been a tremendous amount of work, especially considering it is something for the community, and not just your own individual servers.

Cheers, I am looking forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with you all.

Sorry about that...the website editor must've screwed that up.  A couple of the links got merged I think because the text editor was considering Ravenloft and World of Caenyr to be the same text line in the list, thus was using WOC's link.  It's fixed now.

               On another note, I dropped onto a few servers and tried to raise awareness of the event.  Most DMs I spoke to were intrigued by the idea and I followed-up with either an e-mail explaining things or a forum post in their server forums.  Most were not aware of the event.

I'll likely make another try on a few more tonight.

my participation has been minimal - BtB has put in all of the effort and deserves all of the praise.

hear hear!

               I strongly encourage sending emissaries to as many servers as you can, it is almost abysmal how few players and dms visit THIS site - I'm betting most have no idea what you are planning, but would LOVE to be a part of it.

Go on lad, go get em!

Be well. Game on!

Hehe, well, no hard feelings but... now it links to Netheril Rising's homepage instead.

Erm...I am quite sure that the *editor* screwed that up as well.  Surely there is no way I could have made such a mistake... but it's fixed now!

I also linked to the site to The Amethyst Dragon's NeverwinterNights.info overview site for NWN - good info there for beginning players.
