RPXP for NWN1 servers?

Post by MorbidKate »

Possible to add RPXP scripts to NWN1 servers like Sembia?? I think it could only help to attract players than just those who have a scheduled once a week session. If it helps, our TPI mod should still be on the FTP so perhaps someone could modify the RPXP scripts Fionn created to save some time?

Just a suggestion...

Quite possible, and was being done on NWN1 servers before any of our NWN2 servers were started. There's probably a rationale to their not being on Sembia that interested players could prod an HDM about.

TPI was the first server to offer RPXP scripts and am not sure if a version of it was adopted anywhere else. I vaguely recall it being used somewhere else but I believe critter xp and other stuff was deducted from banked RPXP even though it was earned prior but just not awarded because DMs were rarely around. SOmething to that effect anyway.

If RPXP could be issued along the same standards that XP is currently earned on NWN2 servers (No DM required to receive) I think it could kick some life into what NWN1 servers remain.

I find myself surprised at how little RPXP actually motivates people. I've had a long-standing policy with my group that if they get together to RP IG and send me the log, or even as a PbP in their player forums that I will give them XP. They've almost never taken me up on that.

Point being that I'm not convinced having the scripts implemented IG would make any difference...I give out higher RP XP than the scripts allow for and still no one takes me up on it. *shrugs* Course if someone wanted to implement the system it wouldn't bother me either way.
Currently otherwise occupied.

Well there's the problem. There just isn't any reason to log on to any of our NWN1 servers without having an appointment. Truth be told I'm not sure timed XP would make such a difference in that, but I'd welcome the gesture.
