It requires changing the nwn2player.ini file. See more information here.

It's a window that pops up with a bunch of useful tools/options. Check it out here.
I don't see party invites.
To solve this, find your NWN2 Home Directory, and locate nwn2player.ini. Change DisablePartyInvitePopup to 0.
Why can't I play a Warlock?
Warlocks have been deemed critically broken in a way that we cannot entirely fix. Until we find a way to correctly balance them for both ALFA's persistent world and towards canon, we do not allow new Warlocks to be created.
I rolled a Cleric, why are my domain powers different?
ALFA heavily canonized its Domains. You can head to the class or domain page for an accurate list of what is given.
How do I send messages to other players?
Private messages, called tells in Neverwinter Nights 2, can be sent a variety of ways. First, you can click on the eye icon, and open the Player Chat UI. Clicking on a name will set the right text on your chat bar. You can manually type this yourself. For instance, /t "Character Name" Hello! will send a message of "Hello!" to a character with the name of "Character Name". To send a message to a player, type /tp "TheAwesomePlayer" Hello!. Finally, you can right click on the green text from a message sent to you, and select the /t [...] option that shows up.
Where can I find NPCs, merchants, and quests?
This can vary heavily from server to server. Ask around, or check out the individual Server articles for more information.
How do I roll my skills?

You may roll a skill check at any time by typing #skillname. Only the first few letters of the skill are important. For instance, you can type #hide to make a hide check. Special commands #stealth (rolls both Hide and Move Silently) and #track (rolls Survival, capped at 10 if you do not have the tracking feat) are available.
Skills can also be rolled via PC Tools.
How do I check the date or time?

How do I save my character?

How do I destroy items?
