A Land Far Away

OK got approved, how in the heck do I download the game and get to playing?? I do not see anything with "download" on it.. It says "Since the 1.23 update, all Player side downloads are done via the NWN2 Auto-Downloader. Simply log into your server and NWN2 will automatically download all the haks and pwc files for you." but on the Servers and Password page there is nothing to click on to go to a server..

There needs to be a one click thing for us barely computer literate types...

If you own the game and are a member with access to the server password, then all you have to do is start the player client, click Join Internet Game, and find one of the ALFA servers in Gamespy's PW Story category. Join that server, provide the password and the downloading of ALFA's haks will proceed automagically from that point! Almost as easy as one click.

Welcome to ALFA. You can always join irc sorcery.net #alfa-003 or #alfa-bg for real time assistance. There are many there who would be glad to help!

Log into the game through either cd or shortcut on your desktop.

Click Play.

Click multiplayer.

Click Join Internet Game.

In the left hand side of the screen, there is a box that says GAME TYPE. Change the typ of game to PW Story.

Select either ALFA 003 Silver Marches or ALFA 10 Baldurs Gate on the right side of the screen.

Click the button at the bottom left, Connect.

Type in the ALFA password, remember it is case sensative. Then click OK.

You will then download all of the information automagically (As Biz Marque would say) for the particular server you chose.

YOu will then create your PC, and log into the server.

"Join internet game"...pick "PW Story".

You should then see all the ALFA servers...pick one, enter our paswword, get in game and die quickly

I look forward to seeing your second character soon!

Welcome aboard, matey

Now what do you do? You get ready to be greeted!

Welcome aboard, have fun and be fun!

And I don't think it's possible to launch the game with a simple link from within the browser. It would be a neat trick, but any virus scanner worth its salt would scream bloody murder. We're awfully sorry, but... some assembly required.
But I think the previous posters will have you clicking the right buttons in no time.

In case it wasn't clear from the instructions, you must also have the Neverwinter Nights 2 game installed, along with both expansion packs (Mask of the Betrayer, and Storms of Zehir), in order to join the servers.

The Neverwinter Nights 2 game also needs to be patched up to the current version, by using the "Update" button from the initial menu when you insert the game DVD.

(Both the NWN2 patching process, and the initial content download on connecting to an ALFA server for the first time, can be pretty lengthy affairs, depending on your download speeds... so be patient. It's not always something that can be completed in a single sitting.)
