A Land Far Away

Does anyone have intentions of building/hosting Cormyr for the NWN2 project?

The Cormyr team tossed the idea around back in the proposal days, but wasn't certain we'd want to start from scratch and do the same area again. Of the team that did the big NWN1-rebuild for it, Thangorn is captaining the Moonsea build (and the Planetouched project), I'm neck-deep in hosting, central scripting, haks, etc, Sanderman is juggling other projects, and Twisted is helping run Exodus.

That leaves Chamu as the only remaining one from that build team who isn't already committed elsewhere. He's kept the NWN1-NC fires burning all this time, haven't heard him express an interest to reinvent the area for NWN2, but he might be one to ask in any case.

I sent Chamu a PM a few minutes ago to see if there is any interest. It would be excellent to have someone that has "been there, done that." to be involved.

I would like to take a stab at bringing a server live. If anyone wants to join up please send me a PM and we can start brainstorming.

I would intend on trying to encompass Arabel and Suzail as two main features and then squeeze in everything else we can.

As a long time player of NC, if we saw it reappear in NWN2, i would much prefer seeing it cover Suzail and Marsember. Basically alot more of cormyr on the other side of Arabel than what we have now.

Suzail would allow for your nobles and backstabbing intrigue, Marsember would allow for your shady bastards and scoundrels

talk about putting the cart before the horse. Rumor has it that NWN2 is very limited. I assumed that the bugs had been smoothed over by now. I guess I will shelf this idea until after I fool around in the NWN2 toolset.

[edited to respond to swiffer] definatley Suzail, and Marsember does sound interesting as well.

I would say that Marsember would be third. Suzail and Arabel have much interaction with each other and I wouldn't want to try and work around one of the two not being "active" whereas Marsember imo could be an influence and not cause as much break in immersion by being "inactive".

We have a few experienced folks who can help you if you have any questions.

Glad to see your still haunting about Darren, I need to look into the NWN2 platform a little more before I make an unreliable commitment. I am terribly unreliable after all.
