Got your attention ? Excellent!

We need your help!

We would like everyone who uses or hosts other websites to link to ours. If you use other forums, maybe you could add our url to your signature. If you host or run some sort of homepage, blog or other site, perhaps adding our link to that somehow. Use facebook or myspace or any of those ? add us! The more the merrier! Anywhere really, on the net, where you can place our URL as a link, would help.

The reason for this is the way google and other search engines rank pages. The more pages that link to us, the higher rank we will get, thus making it alot easier for new people to find us when they try to search. In addition, our rank on Alexa would improve, which if we got it high enough, would allow for adding our own page on Wikipedia.

Thanks in advance guys! I will post in this thread with updates as our pagerank continues to improve.

speaking of wikipedia, i noticed we are used as an example of a connected-server persistent world on the NEVERWINTER NIGHTS wikipedia page

(only two examples given!)

but...

our name doesn't have an auto-link

so yes getting a page would autolink our name
Garrigan DeLorre - Paladin 6 - died honorably in battle
X'Anne - Witch (Druid/Ranger mix) 4 - captured and imprisoned awaiting trial (retired)
Talon Xavaliir - Cleric 11 - living

Good catch, coach. I've added a link to our webpage (but not a wikipage - don't have the time nor skill to do that, and not sure if ALFA would quality for one).

Someone should go to town on the NWN2 wiki:

http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

There's an article for persistent worlds that doesn't have any actual ones listed. You could put a link there to an article about alfa.

As an engineer i have a natural -5 to social skills such as this though, or i'd do it m'self.
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

That looks great, but I couldn't figure out how to get to it from within the wiki. Maybe the article should be linked to from within another page listing NWN2 communities? Perhaps I overlooked it though.

This place would fall apart if I weren't here - how would you cope without me? :P
