Sweet. This could be pretty fun.

I also have spring break next week.

Karmillo · 03-16-2006, 07:44 AM

Ok well the plan was to have everyone start a new character so we would be all at the same level, so that would mean it wouldnt matter what quests you have an havent done as youll be back at the start.

As for times...well well need to all post what times we are all availible then we would be able to sort something out.

And you wouldnt need to buy a microphone since we can just type in the game chat

And if everyone has the expansion we could always try one of those campaigns....or one of the fan made ones if they are any good.

So what times are best for everyone?
Im guessing everyone is going to be most free around the weekends so its probably going to be around friday-sunday

RLacey · 03-16-2006, 08:45 AM

I'm free whenever, so long as I'm given notice

.

seebaruk · 03-16-2006, 09:30 AM

Cool, if it's Sunday evening then I might be able to join for a bit, unless its next sunday. Sorry, I know I'm awkward!

Karmillo · 03-16-2006, 09:58 AM

Ok so that would make it:

Lacey
Seebaruk
Spiwak
Art(possibly)
LeChimp
Kuddles

anyone else? By the size of that NWN discussion I thought there would have been allot more

Tanukitsune · 03-16-2006, 12:04 PM

I guess I could join, but the time zone thing will be troublesome...

Karmillo · 03-16-2006, 12:06 PM

Thats why Im asking for people who want to join in to post what times they could play in, and days

Well, you also don't want there to be so many people on-screen that the game becomes unmanageable or overly laggy.

I think sometime Sunday is your best bet for most people. I know it would work for me.

Karmillo · 03-16-2006, 02:29 PM

well I think a server can hold upto 16, but the party max is 4 so if we had 16 people joining us then we would have 4 partys who could split up and take on diferent parts of whatever scenario we decide to choose

say we chose to do the main campeign, then we could have a party per district

Jazhara7 · 03-16-2006, 04:13 PM

I won't be free until after the APs in May.

But after this school year is over, I am going to take a gap year, so I believe I'll have some time then.

I have some sort of NWN with the main expansions editons (as a lovely shiny set) I guess I could sign up for Sunday evenings UK time if that helps.

Me play fighter that smash things good with big sword (as a general rule) Paladin character is OK because I'm so lovely and good anyway.

Karmillo · 03-16-2006, 06:33 PM

Thats the Diamond edition

so what does that make?
7?
and it looks like its gonna be a sunday(s?) after all

seebaruk · 03-17-2006, 01:55 AM

Sounds good matey. You reckon we'll be starting this Sunday?

Karmillo · 03-17-2006, 06:08 PM

Oh I missed Jaz's posts. I guess we can count her in in may if this thing takes off

I wouldnt be able to make it this sunday

got an all night Lan Party twomorrow so im be shattered sunday

Spiwak · 03-17-2006, 07:41 PM

I bought Diamond today. I'll probably play around with it a little bit just to get back into how the game works before this thing starts.

EDIT: I thought it was kind of lame how the Diamond edition has nothing but a single DVD-ROM. I guess it doesn't matter since I already have the manual and map from the original release, but still. I guess Atari's viewing this as their last chance to make any money on the game before 2 comes out, though.

Karmillo · 03-17-2006, 07:54 PM

The diamond verson also comes with some of the new campeigns that you have to buy from the bioware site

Bit of a mixed blessing, they're rather short and at least 2 are incomplete with (still) little hope of them seeing a sequel/conclusion. Arguably the best of the premium modules, Pirates of the Sword Coast is still only available via download.

The Platinum edition was also the last verison to come with a printed manual. Diamond's manual is PDF only, which translates to heaps of ruleset queries showing up again on the NWN message boards. Its a lot more bother to RTFM.

Given the mix of expansions you lot have, the odds of you all playing in the same game any time soon seems rather remote. Not to mention someone has to step up to the plate and host the game(s), and they'll need a rather robust internet connection.

I suppose I could join but only when i have some free time.

RLacey · 03-18-2006, 05:41 AM

Hey, don't complain about the Diamond edition; the UK release with the premium modules (available for about five seconds before being pulled) along with the release with the game and both expansion packs both came on CDs and without manuals

. I weep
