Zhurrie

...and that's the young ones No offense Zhurrie, but calling NWN1 "old school" was a bit funny Heh none taken, its actually a good thing. I am just used to Call of Duty, Halo, and others making me feel like an old Geezer. But I am getting schooled in what should be defined as old school pretty fast! Let me rephrase then for those that know ... NWN PWs are still pretty popular and we are making one based on the Forgotten Realms Setting, Namely Tethyr, Amn, Calimshan, Moonshea and Chult. we could really use some beta testers to give us some feedback on how we are doing and to give us ideas on what we could do better.

Not a bad Idea I'll drop a post on that forum. It's no first person shooter but if you like RP games you should give NWN another look, it really is a classic game and it has a good following even .. * tries to count on fingers then gives up * .. um ... lots of years after release. If you get lucky maybe you will run into me and you can get your revenge on wasting your time reading this forum! woot!

Well, aren't we condescending... Maybe try the codex? Sorry wasn't trying to be condescending .. but common D&D was late 70's early 80's .. were you born then? Anyway I like the Pacman Idea I think I may have to add him as an Easter Egg to the NWN world!

hahahaha Awesome replies! Well I think its pretty old school in comparison to all the new kids on the block; the DA, WOW, LOTR, even NWN2 etc but it is still a classic and totally customizable. To answer some of the questions : YES it is like an MMO it has the usual quests, dungeons, party groups , crafting , all the usual suspects. and YES it does have more roleplaying then most "graphics dependent" games , it was after all based on P&P D&D (Pencil and Paper dungeons and dragons) for you younger types. The primary difference is NWN 1 costs around $10 and that's it , no $16 a month plus $50 upgrades every 6 moths, and that's always been a plus for me .. also this MMO like version (Empires of the Sands) is still in development so as a beta tester, dungeon master or part time developer you can really help guide it to its full potential and add your particular style to it (unless of course your style is lame? ).

Hey Guys, I dont know how many people (like me) are still into the classics; namely NWN 1 .. Yeah THAT OLD! But we have a "new" world that we are developing and we are looking for people interested in playing, beta testing, DMing and even helping develop.
