: ''Welcome to ''[[A Land Far Away]]'', a persistent world where the vast, wondrous Dungeons & Dragons™ universe takes on a life all of its own. A place where like-minded role-players of all races, cultures and creeds gather to delight in the wonder and joy of a thousand shared imaginations. A place where the raconteur holds others spellbound; a place where every decision has consequences; a place where the games unfold before your eyes.''

''A Land Far Away'' is an online community focused around offering ''Dungeons and Dragons'' style gameplay through the [[Neverwinter Nights 2]] engine. Players may don the hat of a [[Dungeon Master]], or play characters. We aim to span [[Faerûn]], through our various servers.

To get started, you need [[Neverwinter Nights 2]], and a community-made [[Client Extension]].

== Quick Start ==
* Buy [[Neverwinter Nights 2]] from [http://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_2_complete Good Old Games].
* Download and install the [[Client Extension]]
* Connect to an ALFA server, such as bg.alandfaraway.org

== Neverwinter Nights 2 ==
''Neverwinter Nights 2'' is a role-playing video game developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Atari. It provides a platform based on Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Edition. ''A Land Far Away'' further customizes the game to bring it closer to the 3.5e ruleset, provide tools for both players and [[Dungeon Masters]], and add extra content.

Neverwinter Nights 2 is best purchased from [http://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_2_complete Good Old Games].

== Client Extension ==
''A Land Far Away'' relies on restored functionality and additional features provided by Skywing's [[Client Extension]]. It may be downloaded [http://neverwintervault.org/sites/all/modules/pubdlcnt/pubdlcnt.php?file=http://www.nynaeve.net/Skywing/NWN2/cliext/ClientExtension_Latest.zip here]. For installation instructions, please see the CE's page.

== Connecting ==
With the [[Client Extension]] installed, ALFA servers may be found under the ''Role Playing'' category. Alternatively, direct connect can be pointed to the following addresses:
* bg.alandfaraway.org for [[Baldur's Gate (Server)|Baldur's Gate]]
* ms.alandfaraway.org for [[Moonshae Isles (Server)|Moonshae Isles]]

Other [[Server]]s are available, and the direct connect addresses are given on the individual server pages.
