Hi,
I've posted in the OAS2 forum and in the admissions forum, but got no reply. Is the OAS2 running or not? Or if it is is it on a different IP address to the one advertised?
Thanks,
Teric

I have been unable to find it either Teric. No one has been able to tell me what happened.

I switched routers and have asked a few times in chat if anyone could check to see if it was up. No answers. So, I looked at the screen every now and then and saw someone on. So I thought it was working fine.
Tonight, I read the posts, checked and my IP is different. Go figure, and I forgot some ports. So, one more issue presented itself. The name, "ALFA NWN2 Open Application Server" was too long for Gamespy, and it would come up blank. So, I changed the name to "ALFA NWN2 OAS2" and it now shows up properly.
Woo!

On a side note, I am still looking for someone else to host the OAS2. I want to open up The Frozen North for beta, but can't because my machine is in use.

For time being, I've taken over hosting of OAS2, at 24.10.118.145 - standard port (5121).
Still looking for a longerterm hosting solution for it, just less urgently, since my connection should be OK for a while.

Are there paid options like Dungeonserver for NWN2? I would be willing to pay for a year depending on the price

Nope there are no DS like options for NWN2.
The main problem being that NWN2 servers require a lot of memory and CPU power and that there is still no Linux version of the server.
We thought about renting a dedicated server but the cost is about $175 a month so it's not a really interesting option.
Of course if you want to donate about $1300 then I suppose we can buy a new computer and have it hosted by one of ALFA hosters

Do you need "NWN2" in the name? Isn't that redundant? Do NWN1 servers show up on the NWN2 client as well such that the distinction would be needed?
