"And on the seventh day, the application admins accepted Avaz, and they saw that it was good."

And so begins the journey. Greetings and salutations to all, and I hope to meet every last one at some point. :werd:

Interested in getting set up for and testing the NWN2 servers? Or planning to hang with NWN1-ALFA for a while? Both, or neither? Let us know if you've got questions on getting set up and in-game.

I do not have NWN1 installed, thus, I am looking forward to play NWN2 solely. Thanks for the help in the chatroom, and once I have a bit more time tonight, I will set up everything else as best I can. 8)

I notice you say that often to other first time posters. What's up with that, yo? :)

Makes more sense on the Live servers- where the first treasured character concepts tended to inadvertently meet with quick and meaningless deaths. By example, my first NWN1 ALFA PC was an attempt to recreate a PC from a longrunning PnP campaign of several years- he died instantly to a crossbow crit without ever seeing the opponent (kobold ambusher) or even hearing the battle music! That was probably my second night on an ALFA server. It's reflective of the "culture shock" that is common on transitioning to a permadeath CRPG.

During Beta testing, though, your "first character", and indeed, all subsequent ones, are functionally immortal. So, the [somewhat demeaning and insensitive] "traditional greeting" is less applicable than usual.

Acadius:

I had been thinking something roughly the same, but wasn't sure. Thanks again for clearing things up! :wink:
