NOTES FOR THE NWN SERVER:

Server is 1.68, update to 1.69, and then get the downgrade patch from Bioware (there are instructions there on the website too), once done, sign on and jam out. I'll be swapping the server back and forth between Prelude and Chapter1 till I see enough people have joined up and levelled up, then I'll start swapping Chapters 1 and 2, and so on and so forth, so people can play the game full through.

How does Sunday sound for everyone? I'll shut down my CS:S server that runs side by side (it's a dual proc server) so we get the full 1gb onboard and both procs to rawk on. The server is unmodded so things should run smoothly, although I think I should install some sort of frame rate enhancer. I would like some people to connect and play before we actually do this on Sunday so I can know if this is feasible or not. We'll have a "bomb the server" night on Friday to test it out and give me Saturday to work out the kinks if any.

~93ms for me in the browser, so about +15ms when in-game (since the computer will also be doing a lot more)

The 83rd Division has also welcomed the WSGF to their COD4 servers. You can get the full details in this forum thread

Moved up to first post.

sweet my tf2 name is: [C-BoT] Iron Pizza, hopefully we can play sometime.

I must have spaced out sometime recently. How long has the NWN server been up? I'll have to try that out.

Cynagen, I'm jealous of your net service. Who is the provider? I'd rather get speed boosts like yours than bandwidth caps (Comcast just notified me of the 250GB cap...time to call customer service and lite someone up :twisted: ).

-edit-
Tried connecting to the NWN server. No joy. Couldn't find the server in the lists and direct connect to the IP failed. I can ping 74.53.76.7 successfully, but not with port 5121.

I'm not new to online gaming but I am to NWN online gaming, is there a useful guide/reference somewhere someone would recommend to get started? I'll be reinstalling nwn1 after years too so a refresh is likely what I'll be needing.

@Mesh
Anything particular about the online NWN experience you are wondering about? In it's basic form multiplay NWN is just you and buddies co-oping through the regular campaign/missions. Of course there are tons of mods/custom modules and the DM mode, but I've played none of these

Are you wondering more about character classes and such? I'm not sure I'm addressing your particular question(s).

The NWN server is down currently since the server it was on needed a tune up/upgrade, it'll come back up on Chapter 1 later today. As far as my ISP, I haven't checked recently, but they give me a free upgrade about once a year, and one paid upgrade ($5 more to the bill usually) about once every 2 years.

Currently my speeds are: (No cap, screw comcrap)
2mbps up 15-16mbps down
With PowerBoost:
3.5mbps up 24-30mbps down

I'm just a mile from the fiber tho, waiting for FTTH, not soon enough!

wtf doublepost, plz delete.

GeneralAdmission,

Well, I'm mainly wondering because I've never played NWN normally, I'm a naughty cheat :).

So I'd hazard a guess I'd be roasted upon entering the city or such in normal play.

I'm mainly wondering about anything I might need to know to play. I can make a different thread if you want, so as not to hijack this one.

Sorry about that, I performed the upgrade just after he posted apparently. Talk about bad timing!!

Anyway, we shouldn't need another upgrade for a while..unless cynagen gets all naughty....

Hey CrackerJackMack,

So are you an admin/tech sup for the game server? Looking forward to playing, as soon as I can conjure up a +1 Potion of Free Time for Gaming. ;)

Mesh, my knowledge is far from exhaustive, but I'd be happy to answer what I can if you start a new thread. And don't worry about getting roasted as soon as you jump in...that's just a welcoming fireball from my elf-wizard :twisted: :wink: (jk, I much prefer co-op over PvP)

I'm the Games Administrator for WSGF, however, CrackerJackMack is the Server Administrator where the NWN server is hosted currently.

NWN Server is back online. I'm loading Prelude in order to allow you to set up characters and level them a bit so that way you don't get "slaughtered" like you said.

Not quite. I am just helping Cynagen out by providing him with server space. I have a server I pay for and wanted to help out WSGF. Didn't want to make a huge deal out of it so it's really just been between Cynagen and myself :D

Well thanks for helping out. :) (and I'll keep this news to myself ;))

Logged into the server last night and the connection was good, 61ms. Set up a character for myself (you'll like the name) and played through most of the Prelude.

I've never played a game using a server-side character before. Are the characters available to anyone who logs into the server, or are the characters I create tied to my specific NWN online login?

I don't mind sharing...if I have to :wink:

Characters are tied to your account, so, if you played through most of the prelude, I might have to sign on and catch up, then I can change us to Chapter 1 so we can continue on. My eventual hope is to attract enough people that we just run into each other playing the game doing missions and doing a few co-op.

Didn't even realise you put it up. D:

Question though, do you use CEP?

edit: What version is the server running? :S
