The new ALFA website is LIVE!

After months of hard work, I am proud to declare this, the new ALFA website,- LIVE.

With the new design, we have tried to adress issues like usability and functionality, as well as making it easier and far more intuitive for our staffs to do their every day tasks. We have adopted a more serious and professional look, and crafted a final system that will stand the test of time, allow for quick and safe upgrades, as well as giving us a great modular interface for adding additional functionality.

In the months to come, we will further improve on functionality by adding a dynamic calendar system, dynamic and realistic stats of various kinds, as well as an improved log parsing system taking data directly from our live servers and presenting them in an intuitive way for our DMs.

I would like to personally thank Roekemoes for all his great work in making the new website a reality.

Welcome to A Land Far Away

Welcome to A Land Far Away, an online role-playing project based on the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Immerse yourself in a permadeath, persistent world where lives are begun, lived, and yes, sometimes ended. Walk the lands that the Sage Elminster walked...and still walks! In ALFA, bring your favorite character off of the paper, and breath life into him/her.

Our goal at ALFA is to build the world of Faerûn using the Neverwinter Nights game engines (NWN1 & NWN2) and to provide the best online role-playing experience available anywhere on the net. We have a variety of servers, and are working on more! - 3 NWN2 & 4 NWN1 - each covering a specific region of Faerûn and painstakingly designed by a team of experienced builders, that are constantly updated with current content and scripts to make your experience in ALFA as close to being in Faerûn as possible..

There is no cost to join or to play in A Land Far Away, but you must meet certain standards to obtain membership. This ensures the quality of role-play that our reputation is predicated upon and that our players expect of our game world. If first rate role-play and full immersion are what you are seeking, or if you desire to contribute behind the scenes of our game world, then you are welcome to apply here, and begin your journey to an unforgettable role-playing experience in A Land Far Away.

ALFA featured in Gameplayer Australia's Best Game Mods article

ALFA was recently picked as one of 12 'best game mods' by australian website Gameplayer.

From the article:

One that stands out – head and shoulders – above the rest is ‘A Land Faraway’. A community module that began forming in 2001, it has since grown to become one of the many ‘persistent’ worlds in the Neverwinter Nights universe. More than just an add-on scenario, ‘persistent worlds’ are in some ways very close to an MMO experience; a server loaded with the land faraway environment is kept constantly running for many users to connect to at the same time, allowing a shared experience and one where the timeline continues whether your character is logged on or not. While persistent worlds are actually quite common in NWN1 and 2, few have reached the stability or maturity of A Land Faraway. With seven servers to connect to and an apparently healthy population, A Land Faraway is also populated with live GMs (Game Masters) who seek to create ad-hoc plots and campaigns to help the world seem alive to the players...

ALFA supports NWCon4

ALFA is proud to support

Quoting NWCon4 website:

"NWCon4 the fourth online convention for Neverwinter Nights 1&2 players. The con includes in-game and chat-based seminars where experts will share their NWN knowledge on DMing, gaming, building, and more. And, of course, there are games. Lots of Games! New players and experts alike are welcome to join in and share the fun."

Agenda for ADMIN Meeting Sunday

zicada

  • Moderation. I will have a chat with Veilan before the meeting, and take up some stuff from him, hopefully he can communicate whatever the current mods might have on their minds
  • The Website, input from the other admin.
  • Website launch event, input from the others + teams.
  • The process of banning. How it works, what we really need. 
  • Serverlist. How it functions currently, what we really need, and ideas on implementation. 
  • The wiki conversion. It would be nice if all of you had a look at that (the 4 links at the top of the page) just to form some ideas on what we need, how we sort it, and how to properly distinguish nwn1 vs nwn2 information. 
  • Rethink on the organization of ALFA. The current issues between nwn1 and nwn2 camps, ways of solving these issues while hopefully retaining people we would like to have around. 
  • One-way portal between TSM/BG and OAS2. Requirements, HAK downloads for new users. And general discussion.
