I was just wondering why EFU never made the leap into NWN2, seeing as I just bought it to have some more NWN to play and found that their is shite for multiplayer out there and the closest I've found was full of metagamers with 1001 pickpockets waiting to relieve you of your gold and people hanging out in the OOC starting area...all in all a bad server. Yet with the new classes in NWN2 and updated feats, why not make the leap and start something cool over there?

EFU is an extremely dynamic world. On some days we make multiple version changes. Every time an area is changed in NWN2, the players need to download a new PWK file. This is obviously a less than ideal situation for us. Even with community tools like Worldgate, and upload sites like the NWVault, updating becomes much more complex.

There's also the fact that EFU is in the Underdark. We rely heavily on caves. Big caves. With cavern cielings well out of sight. And NWN2 just doesn't have that much to offer (easily) in terms of rock formations, crystals, and mushrooms.

Then there's the fact that NWN2 uses way too many resources for the majority of both DMs and players to easily and confidently play/DM/build, and that NWN2 is only for Windows and Max (we have Linux users among both players and DMs).

As for the online playerbase itself, there are assholes playing NWN1, too. There are assholes both playing and running NWN1 servers. This is true for any game. If you give up your search for your ideal server, you can always try to start one up yourself. It's quite an adventure!

There aren't actually very many arguments for making the leap, besides a native sub race system and deity system, and more classes.

NWN just seems like so superior a platform to NWN 2 for our purposes, it isn't even funny. The reasons mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg.

Meh, well I guess ill just have to stay content with good ol NWN then, I was mostly thinking of it for the warlock and favored soul. as well as some prestige classes. This is in no means an excuse to leave this wonderful server. :)
