Love to Verty for this... Thesk teaser/trailer!

EfU:A is considerably more difficult.

What he said. :-/

Lumi = Amazing

This was an amazing quest.. I took some, but those bloody crashes killed them

Just remember, while you're voting, McBush... err... McCain will give us another 4 years of what Bush has been doing, and this country cannot afford more of the same.

That's what happens when you listen to political propeganda and don't listen to the actual speaches. You get the bias. - Mccain has said clearly "I am not Bush, and I will not do what Bush is doing, simply because I am a republican."

Sure if you vote for Obama, make less than 250k a year, you're in the clear.. But what of those that work to earn that money? - Obama showed his true colors the day Joe The Plumber asked his question. "Share the wealth." Mccain wants to tap into american resources, and not foreign. Create a ton of new jobs, and such.

But go ahead and listen to the "Proven" monotonic/hypnotic/reverbing voice of Obama. Let his 18 Charisma, 20 Bluff get you.

Mccain - Palin '08

So long, Fare well, and all that fun stuff. EfU's been a blast, and I am glad to have spent all this time on Alysarra.

Well, Realife has taken that sick pleasure of crashing down on me, and I'm going to be gone for quite a while. My roomate is moving out tomorrow, so I have to too. This means I go live with my parents, who hate the computer. Needless to say, I'll be gone a while, and when I come back, it won't be for but a couple hours a day.

So, I bid you a fond farewell untill then.

Much <3

I would love to see this too. It'd be amazing if I could show up those pesky nay-sayers when I use Darkfire as an Istishian. Half Cold/Half acid would be nice, just like the elementals of doom!

Dear god, extend it. >_>

I sort of agree. Perhaps just have them off the beaten path a little more?

Okay. That's funny... But you know what's more funny? We allllll know now that Thomas_Not_Very_Wise is true to his name! change it to Thomas_Clearly_Uses_A_Nude_Override. >_>

[What are people saying about Thesk?]

So, the new expansion pack is out, Storm of Zehir. It hit some shelves around the country, and many are in an uproar to the amazing new content and such. What this does bring, however that is most useful to the Online Worlds is Grinning Fools Auto Downloader. - This means that content downloaders such as "World Gate" will no longer be needed- Should the world be partaking in the use of the downloader. This is -HUGE- news to some servers.

What drives many, many players away from the Online aspects of NWN2 is the huge PWCs, and the constant updating to play your favorite server. - This auto downloader should be fixing the need to run a stand alone client, and will eventually add to some players discovering the splendor of some pretty rocking worlds.

So this is what I urge. - Fans of Neverwinter Nights, Go get the amazing sequel to the NWN Saga. Play the single player campaign, and get wrapped in the amazing. - It will feel a bit different, but you get used to it. After that, How about trying the online worlds that are out there? - These worlds are huge, and take a lot of time to develope, and many are simply stunning. So, when you're on that rage-timer, need a break, or just get bored.. hop into Neverwinter Nights 2, and let some more fun flow. Obsidian did an -astounding- job, even if she is a little bit of a resource hog. ;)

And now, some DM Approved - Shameless self promotion! Hooray.

The Unapproachable East - Thesk



“The Unapproachable East â€" Thesk” (UET) is a Neverwinter Nights 2 persistent world set in the Forgotten Realms. The focal point is the City of Telflamm â€" the heart of Thesk, in the Unapproachable East.

UET was developed by a team of DMs and players from some of the most prominent and highly regarded persistent worlds of the original Neverwinter Nights game â€" among them are the “City of Arabel”, “Narfell” the “City of Splendors â€" Waterdeep”, and "Escape From the Underdark".

UET is a roleplay server. It is heavily scripted with quests and custom features that ensure there’s never a lack of things to do. Dozens of beautifully designed, sprawling areas make for a wealth of places to explore, and adventure to be discovered!

The veteran builders and scripters who work behind the scenes are tireless in their effort to continuously improve and expand the world â€" appreciative of feedback, and always open to players’ suggestions. The in-game DMs are spread across various geographic locations â€" ensuring global coverage all the time.

The DMs believe in collaborative storytelling and character development - placing emphasis on helping players tell their characters’ tales. They guide each one in finding a niche in the world, and attaining a sense of belonging rarely found anywhere else. Plots are always a constant â€" ranging from action and adventure, to comedy, drama, mystery and intrigue!

All players are welcome - even those new to the concept of persistent worlds and roleplay!

Setting

Across the wide lands of Faerun, bards and travelers tell strange tales of the Unapproachable East, a distant land of proud barbarians, forest-grown ruins, and dreadful wizardry. It is a world filled with ancient mysteries and endless strife, a swirling maelstrom of exotic beauty and hell-spawned peril, where tribes value freedom more than their lives, and slaves groan under the worst kind of sorcerous oppression. It is a crossroads and a battleground where East meets West and today struggles to claw itself free of the half-remembered past. So fantastic is the reputation of this region in western Faerun that in the taverns of a dozen western cities, skeptics greet an unlikely tale or fanciful fable with a snort and mutter, “In the East, perhaps!”

The Unapproachable East is the collective name of the nations of Aglarond, Thay, Rashemen, Thesk and the Great Dale. West of Thay, in the thief-ruled City of Telflamm, the trade road known as the Golden Way begins. For thousands of miles it heads eastward, joining Faerun to the fabulous lands of Kara-Tur. Along this road lays the merchant towns that comprise the realm of Thesk, the crossroads of the Unapproachable East.

A dozen years ago, the mighty Tuigan horde attacked Thesk. To meet this grave threat, the people of the western heartlands, led by King Azoun of Cormyr, raised a great Alliance made of groups from Cormyr, the Dales, Hillsfar, Ravens Bluff, and other cities. Sembia provided funds to hire mercenaries, and Zhentil Keep contributed 1000 orcs and 2000 dwarves to bring the total to 28,000 troops. This force met a Tuigan army 100,000 men strong at the First and Second Battles of the Golden Way. Eventually, they defeated the horde, but Thesk is still recovering from the devastation of the war, while struggling to accommodate thousands of Shou who fled their far eastern homeland before the horde.

What are people saying about Thesk?

“I popped in to see what it was like, and I'm hooked. Thoroughly recommended!”

“A stunning module, a fun loving playerbase, a witty and imaginative DM team, and an easy to get around world in all. Grand job, this.”

“If you are looking for a fun place to meet lots of highly creative players and DM's, join Thesk!”

“In almost every respect, Thesk absolutely blows out of the water, the larger servers I have played on and also the smaller servers I have tried. It really quite puts them to shame.”

“It's a good ol' place filled with good ol' people and, once you get yourself a little accustomed, it's ripe for havin' a good ol' time with, aye. It is very beautifully designed, though is not a complete drain on the system either; it runs smoothly. Good, active DM's often sneak in on group adventures, and turn standard quests into something else, something more fun. Keyword that last part actually â€" fun!”

“Thesk is the best damn NWN2 PW out there! Of this, I have no doubt. Give it a try. You won't be sorry!”

Some of the Server's Features

Quests
With over 20 scripted quests available (and more on the way), there’s never a lack of things to do! Quests range from your typical hack-and-slash runs, to more complex adventures that make full use of your characters' skills, as well as your own wits.

Player Housing
Save up, contact one of our in-game real estate brokers and purchase property! Units range from simple lodges in the docks district, to luxurious homes in Old Town. Units feature free rest, and persistent storage for all your characters’ valuables.

Crafting
A custom crafting system is in place to allow your characters to craft arms and armor, alchemical goods and magical items. A balanced economy ensures plenty of potential business for the budding craftsman!

Boat System
Save up, buy a boat and set sail to explore the Sea of Fallen Stars! Beware of pirates and other dangers though!

DM Factions
Join the "Shadowmasters of Telflamm", the "Red Wizards of Thay", the "Harpers", or the "City Watch"! Faction members get access to special gear with unique properties (i.e. City Watch Wand) and are heavily involved in most of the in-game plots!

Death and Rest
Death and rest have been modified to better suit a persistent world, and to more accurately represent PNP rules. Resting can be done in any inn, or in the wild (provided characters have the necessary equipment to set camp). When faced with death, players have the option to respawn to their characters' corpses, respawn to a safe location, or to wait for a friend to cast an appropriate spell (either him/herself, or through one of several NPCs). Death penalties vary based on the option selected, and scale to the characters' level so that new characters are less inconvenienced.

Spell Changes
A number of spells have been changed to better suit a persistent world, and to more accurately represent PNP rules. New spells are in the process of being added as well!

Custom Tools
Custom tools offer players a wealth of emotes, and other useful features!

Banking System
Our in-game bank gives players a place to stash their characters' gold - keeping it safe from thieves and the dangers that come with an adventurer's life.

Much, much more!
There are many more features just waiting for you to discover them!

-Your neighborhood friendly, Peeper

I think it'd just be a really nice and convienient feature to get a new chat command of /c split.

What it'd do would be act as a calculator of sorts for the gold divying on the server..

/c split 1200 4 -- Would simply divide 1200 by 4, and show the user each person gets 300..

Might seem a little silly, but'd be nice.

Oh. There they are.


I had to take the screenshot. Just so cool. >_>
