we could speak to the scripter lady behind Baldur's Gate Reloaded mod for NWN2... she made Athkatala with the intention of making BG2 which isn't happening now afaik... she might let us use it though? that'd give the city below nashkell right? (and also provide the sea access for ships form MS/TSM)

regardless of the above... adding Exodus' Amn to ALFA if java is willing... would be awesome. Truly awesome!

Making "adopted" content work takes volunteers n' tech smarts.

Volunteers are, I bet, welcome to practice on existing one(-ish?) man teams like Teric's for WHL or Heero's for that drow city Sshammath or however it's spelled.

Yeah. I would welcome any volunteers with open armed embrace and a kiss on either cheek (its Euro).

My motivations for specifically helping out with pimping the Amnian ride are more selfish: I've put a lot of work into some of the areas on that server and I'd much rather see them continue to be used here than be set adrift on a burning funeral barge.

Selfishness is one of the best motivators ;)

Even if the man power is lacking to get Amn up and running straight away, it should definately be put on the To-do list.

I always look at ALFA servers as a whole, and play that way too. Hopping around as the mood takes me. Thats the great thing about ALFA. Bigger is better when you are taking about adventurers. Plus it's a good PR boast, which should draw more interested players if promoted.

Being the most vocal voice for intergration, on the Amn side of the fence, when the whole "building bridges" stuff came up (and later when it was coined that the servers would remain seperate) it goes without a doubt that I would /love/ to see Amn become part of ALFA.

I would add real hours whatever way I was capable to see this happen.

Isn't there a named person within the ALFA hierarchy that does the diplomatic correspondence thing? Who needs to talk to who?

Dunno about who needs to send any "official invites" or whatnot, but I've tried contacting the people who were left keeping the Amn ship afloat when we decided to beach her.

Howdy! A bit late to the conversation, but here I am.

I'm thrilled by the direction of this conversation! I haven't had the time these past 4 weeks (since putting Exodus:Amn on hiatus) to put any serious time into the conversion. I would absolutely welcome the help to get it done, and bridge it to ALFA's servers.

snoopy dances all round!

seriously though... sounds like we're onto something, and while i never got round to trying exodus, it'll be swell to see it's resources (and hopefully players/staff) not lose a home :)

does anyone want to speak to the lady from Baldur's Gate Reloaded about Athkatala?
