New NWN1 Server build team.

[Nalo Jade]

I am very very busy right now...

But when I read this ...

There isn't any Charter-based (or similar) obstacle to doing that one server at a time, either by rebuilding a current server or adding a new one; there would simply be limited interconnectivity as the redevelopment took place.

It relates to the assumption that a server must have only ALFA Haks. In other words, we could theoretically build a new NWN1 Server and include the best available content for NWN1 ...

I'd like to see if there is enough interest to try and build a new NWN1 Server using the new content available.

I'm not declaring myself "championo" or leader, nor am I saying what area we should build....

What I am saying...

Would you be interested in helping build a new NWN1 server from scratch?

I would be willing to donate time to this.

I wish there was some way of talking you into building NWN2 content instead...

The project you are proposing means more work and resource usage than building say one full, complete NWN2 module from scratch,- it is also alot more painfull to do well. There's also the issue of actually getting the HDM's on board for this,- or applying to become a HDM yourself. Based on the latest issues and discussions we have had, where radical changes to the rules are proposed because of the lack of players,- I do not see any reason to create yet another NWN1 module,- so the idea has to be to change the current ones.

Would you be willing to build for NWN2 if a nice new videocard suddenly showed up in your mailbox ?

I've gone that route, thanks but I would need more than a new video card...

Oh boy Nalo, now you've really opened a can of worms.

I'm already building a NWN1 server with custom content and a fabulous custom build mod. In fact I may be building a second, as well.

I do not know if this server will be hooked to ALFA in some way or not. The verdict is still out on that. I may host it myself and put up my own forums, or I may be hosting it through another PW. I haven't decided yet.

I would like at the very least to have a link somewhere in ALFA that informs people of its existence. I think friendly collaboration like that would be helpful for all of us. I could reciprocate with a link to ALFA and direct folks interested in NWN2 to come here.

I am not interested in re-building the existing ALFA servers with this custom content. I am building Rashemen and possibly Westgate. Anyone interested in getting on-board with my project PM me outside this thread. I need scripters.

Unless someone asks me to expound, I'm not going to go into all my reasons for doing this and why I decided to do it with NWN1 as opposed to NWN2. Don't feel like wasting time typing a big long thing if no one cares.

Join forces with my EADM?

Mind if I ask what content you are using?

[FanaticusIncendi]

You can ask.
