I have to apologize for the downtime, but it seems server 3 will be offline until some time late morning tomorrow due to a bit of a system failure. This would normally be addressed more quickly, but I am not in a position at the moment to rush over there. The areas affected are Northern Coalition an...

I'ev had that happen, it is a known issue that may or may not have been resolved. I don't know for certain since I haven't checked the bug tracker for a day or two. There are two fixes for this that I am aware of: make a new character, or ask for DM assistance in moving to a new location which will ...

Sorry about that.

When I finish building my mail server I will have alerts to notify me when things like this happen.

Due to the deeply integrated database system, deleting characters is much more involved in NS4 than simply deleting the character file from the vault. As such, certain precations nee dot be taken to make sure nothing can happen that would... well... blow up the system.

Having a long-term home for NS3 will not be an issue. The deciding factor is going to be the wishes of the devs, which may or may not be swayed by player opinion on the matter. To the best of my knowledge it is the intention to have at least one NS3 server running for some time even after NS4 goes g...

A properly worded prayer to your any receptive deity on the DM channel should result in a response. Be aware that the gods are often busy, so if you don't receive a response in a reasonable amount of time you may need to try again.

That's an option set in the module. It is marked as previously explored every time you log in. It's an all-or-nothing option, there is no good way to track the exploration paths on a module area in a database. The reason they don't mark all maps as explored is because that removes half the fun of ex...

Marking characters for deletion is certainly doable, but I can't guarantee it will be done quickly since there are a number of other improvements the Devs are currently working on. Until we have something like that in the game, you can PM me your username and character you want deleted. I'll find yo...

It was my understanding that it is intended for players to have the ability to rally guards to the cause. Maybe it was blind chance, but yesterday I was building a sorcerer issued the command "Follow Me" and the Tiefling guards started following me around the area.

That's a good idea. I've seen that feature in games where there is a bulletin board wherer you can place want ads, sales, group requests, etc. The largest hurdle we'd have to overcome in NWN is making one that can be used by multiple players simultaneously.

That's just the way NWN handles the mapping feature. Your map will only be held so long as both you and the server remain up and connected. Since PWs don't have absolute saves like you would in a single-player or even multi-player game where you can load up a save file and restart where you were, th...

That was a known bug affecting characters on a particular server. It's one of the issues Joran is repairing today.

I believe that items are planned which modify your base movement speed. I'm not entirely certain though, the conversation was a long time ago. Can any devs confirm/deny?

It definitely has a much greater capacity for RP, but hack & slashers like me can still get by fine. I have a habit of making a new character, then going and looking for monsters to kill. I don't think I've ever taken a job.

Well, it is beta. Things like spawn times are what we're testing here. Since NS4 opened a day and a half ago, more than 150 unique players have joined. Many of them have multiple characters. This means you're sharing the low-level areas with several hundred other PCs, so yes things are going to be t...
