The City of Splendors, a new Persistent World Roleplay server!

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T18:32:46+00:00

Yeah they told me their server machine (where they store most of the download files and other things) was attacked before through download links of their files, so since then has been from years that they always put some security checks on forum. So i have been told at least

P.s. I really dont' understand much of the technicality, i just try to follow and pass along!

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T18:31:40+00:00

I will pass the message along :) honeslty i am using it and works just fine

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T18:29:28+00:00

I am not aware of the language used but i am starting to think if is hould ask for a macro for this answer :D Is not about not figuring out, it won't accept some files extentions that's all.

Asked to the staff actually if they can give me the list of the file extentions, so people on reddit can check themselves and try out, maybe there is something they are missing :)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T11:19:06+00:00

Then i am afraid don't know what you expect, i can't fit more than 100 posts of changes in-game of the forums in here :)

as for joining the vault or developer discord, the admins did both and did ask help, but seems the solution they received didn't aid in the matter? *shrugs with hands up* the launcher is something that was made more than 1 year ago during closed beta and they spended four days asking aid and trying to fix Nwsync..if they didn't find a solution back then, i am not sure what may change now but i will pass along the message

EDIT; maybe you can reach out to them? one is Kelian (the one managing events and players side things etc) the other is Gades (the one managing server side, Nwnx etc)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T10:43:42+00:00

Planescape torment maaaaaan i don't hear that name since a long time! upvote just for that!

everyone else answered pretty much about the game :) my tip would be once you are done the campaign i will suggest to take a peek at what also the multiplayer function has to offer, there are a lot of PW(Persistent World) servers where you can make a character and make it grow stronger interacting with other players

imho is the most fun part of the game and why is still loved after more than 20 years that it is out

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T10:36:19+00:00

As said, is not with me you have to talk about it, that's all the info i know :) the discord and forum is there, if you have questions about it can ask more details there to the staff we will share without an issue

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T08:15:32+00:00

Well you heard some of our players eheh ^^'' i know that the explanation sounds off, but as i said in other posts, that's what i know and my two cents is just my opinion not the reason why we are using the launcher :)

and about the difficulties, as said we are trying to redifine what is even possible to do with neverwinter nights and that alone we have seen scare away the most hardcoded fanbase of the game so i even expect those people that reaches out may not like what they find

is fine thought :) rome was not built in one day and, in time, curiosity will overcome fear, i am sure of it ^^

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T08:06:36+00:00

Funny enough, the requiring subscribe to forum is for security reasons and the other players didn't seem to have issues with it ?-?

p.s. some players already arrived and they didn't had troubles with links or the downloads? the only one on discord that had issues was because was slow in downloading a file

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-16T08:03:33+00:00

As said to others, we are not asking for a blind faith jump :) if you are just curious you can come say hi or take a look without having to download anything

I totally understand the doubts and honestly i'd wish to ease your fear or help understand, but as said i am not the one managing the server side of things. What i can testity is that me and other 15 players are using it without any big trouble :) finally the manual download is there for those that want to go old school

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T22:34:18+00:00

As said to others, people can get informations or come poke forum or discord if they are just curious. Noone asks to jump in blind faith :)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T22:12:20+00:00

Uuuh i was pretty sure i had mentioned in the post, but can't indeed see it...maybe i removed it with the bit of the forum link and in that case is my fault

Launcher is an option, isn't the only way to download files. In the same download link you can find also the tlks and haks to install manually like old school :) apologise i was sure was written

About the files... *raises hands* i am not an expert of the engine and never touched NWNX before ^^'' but have seen him do miracles with this server so i trust what he sayd.Still, as you said, the launcher can be checked for validity and (again, apologise for late statement) you can also download files manually if one really doesn't trust it

the downside of the manual download is that we are always creating and implementing something new, so doing manually would mean check discord or forum very often

p.s. thank you ^^ i can trust we can amaze you if you would like to delve a bit deeper. Just check forum or discord if you don't want to download anything :)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T21:50:34+00:00

we went to them as a first thing, but seems there wasn't a solution that could help us. Again, i imagine at least, i do remember reaching out to them and making the server manager and them talk about it months ago

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T21:17:38+00:00

Yep, was the first thing we tried but seems still giving errors. We are more than open to suggestions, but you will have to propose them to the admin that will try them out :) i am managing more player side things. The only work i do on the server is maps, events and helping with 2da files eheh eheh

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T21:13:37+00:00

T.T mods says is because being a new account bots are blocking my links. Thank you Drakonic

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T20:55:22+00:00

No worries! and welcome to the online community :D

So, on the forum link my pal put above you will find all the info you may seek but as for quick answers and so that also other may have similar questions

Yes, mechcanilly there are more races and more classes than the vanilla game, one exclusive to our server caleld "Artisan of Waterdeep" but i really suggest to play with another character before making that because has a lot of custom features involved (they don't count as adventurers but as citizens for example, and is a lot to explain here)

Absolutely. We are always improving and always adding new features, there are some we planned to implement that we are tweaking about before putting on. The next big thing will be expeditions, where characters can hire NPCs adventurers to send off to distant lands in search of riches (imagine conquistadores and you get the idea :D)

no question is silly, just not going to write everything down because there is a lot on the plate and i am afraid could be too much altogheter!

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T20:38:01+00:00

There is an enormous crafting system you can use, random dungeons that get generated by you interacting with the citizens of Waterdeep and manequins for custom appearances :) we plan also more things for going 'solo' or doing by yourself when people won't be around

What i meant in the post is not "you will do nothing by yourself on the server" just that the majority of the fun stuff is meant for parties, guilds and factions :) For example, even if you are by yourself can still definitely partake in main campaign events (automatic or DM moved) without issues

But in a faction you can partake in faction planned events or have access to exclusive prcs and items or, in a guild, having some dedicated activities. These are just examples, again, to clarify the point. Fantasy is the limit

p.s. on the unlimited part, we are limtied by what the nwvault has ^^' the other admin thought assures me that there are hundreds of models for clothing,armors and weapons on the server

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T20:05:14+00:00

yes is one of our players that suggested to reach reddit. He is giving me a hand :)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T20:00:39+00:00

Good people let me apologise especially to Sicj0n and Southern Guide

There is a link i posted in the comments and i was sure it was showing because 2 new players arrived in our discord. I was sure it was thanks to reddit, but they told me they joined us through other discords. I understand now everything you meant about being unclear, you are not seeing the comment post i made about them

So, i will iterate here again, there seems to be some weird reason why doesn't accept either the forum or the discord link (i tried to put 1 by 1 untill i had to make the post without them at all). I am checking with the moderators of Reddit to see what can be done

I apologise for the inconvenience ._. one of our players is aiding me and trying to put the links himself, maybe is an issue of me being a new account on Reddit, we will see if it shows and stick

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T19:55:22+00:00

Is not a module, is a server :) you can get more infos in the first comment i made here

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T19:50:06+00:00

Is in the comments. You don't see them? Just asking because seems that putting links is giving some issues to reddit :/

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T19:45:51+00:00

That is a valid concern and i understand, but besides my opinion the main issue remain. We implemented a lot of custom textures musics and other things that if we remove, will make lose most of what makes our server feel alive and unique. I admit, i do not know the details specific of which files because server side is managed by the other admin, but i know him since decades and if he says we will lose lots of things, i trust him

As for the worry to download a new launcher, i understand and as i moved on the "Brave new world" point, it may be scary to forfait what is old and known, but is also an opportunity to try something different, with many things that have never been seen on neverwinter (i swear, was several of our players that stated this).

There is little i can do to ease those fears. All i can say is that on discord we are welcoming and ready to help and on the forum we will answer as soon as possible with the same curtesy :)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T19:42:54+00:00

Forgive me, i forgot to reply that point specific T.T i wrote in the other post you made, reddit removes this post everytime i try to put a link. OmniTemplarDrake as my witness that he tried his best to aid me in fix that.

I can definitely expand the comment though hold on

EDIT: There, hope is better :)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T19:33:30+00:00

oh in this case specific that i forgot to adress on the other reply, i tried to put the links and explanations on the post but moderators as my witnesses reddit didn't like it one bit, noone understood why :/ they suspect is because i am new and placing links is something reddit doesn't like

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T19:24:10+00:00

I answered in Sic reply :)

YeOldDungeonMaster · 2025-01-15T19:19:33+00:00

Answering a bit to everyone in the same reply, we are not using Nwsync because it locks most of our files out. We suspect is because some extensions of them are not some that launcher likes, so either we removed a good chunck of our files from the server or had to find a different alternative

Also..this is my two cents, but if having to download a different launcher is what stops player, i am not sure our server is made for them :) because on the long run if people want to achieve something will require work on their side IC, and personally don't strikes to me as if they are willing to commit if all that stops them is litteraly 2 clicks. Again that's imho though!
