Shall we go EE?

I would be happy to pitch in to make the transition smoother. After reading so many questions about the future of the chapter and EFU in general, I feel like this could be our best scenario for growth.

You guys are awesome for offering to pitch in :)

As for EE: I'm down for it. Getting the server browser back would help visibility. Not to mention that a lot of old NWN players might get back into things once they see it's gotten an EE

I love cats

I"m one of those people on a budget! If Pent or Starmonger desire to pitch in send me a PM! I think the server should consider doing an influx of people can't hurt.

Starmonger

Might be a bit early for steam gift keys( I think its just wishlist and pre-order) but as it gets closer shoot me a pm

I am happy to make the move over to Enhanced Edition, and help in any way I can with whatever is needed for it. I think NWN:EE could be amazingly huge, if they do it right. We all need to advertise for it though, and spread the word. I HOPE that Beamdog advertises the huge amount of Multiplayer content, but they may focus on SP as everyone else always does.

I think it's a cool idea and I'd be happy to pitch in to help with any changes needed. The more tech savvy of the playerbase could help with some of the more rote, repeatable scripting changes or something if it could be written up to be done.

Also, as others have offered, I'll absolutely sponsor some of our existing compatriots with a gift of the game upgrade. I'll even volunteer to coordinate the effort if the DM team wants me too.  Take names to nickname mappings and share them one per offer of a gift, etc.

Think the only things that'll need adjusting are probably .tlk and overrides like the spells.2da and stuff if they've added new spells / class-appropriate feats or changed spell names to accommodate.

Everything else should be fine. Can't wait to see what kind of new content like prestige classes, level caps, feats, spells and spell-like abilities they introduce.

I wonder how many hackers will start playing this game again for the trolling lols when this comes out?

I would be down to gift some keys to those strapped for cash. Would love to see everyone playing! :)
Feed me my kid cuisine meal, or I will say the F word.

if she's your girl then why does her leitmotif appear in my battle theme bro  :/

Sadly I am on a very strict budget for the next year and buying any game would be almost impossible.

Think it's the right move myself. I just hope it doesn't bring a lot of stress moving over the server to the new platform, or cause conflicts with what EFU's got going on server-wise at the moment.

Howlando

A bunch of other players have reached out to me privately also to say that they would be happy to buy a couple of copies for other members of the community. It's so nice to see this community come together.

So I guess we're going to do this?

If the DMs are willing/able to do the legwork on seeing things carry over smoothy no complaint from me.

IIIIIIIII

If EE helps the server overall I'm more than happy to make the switch, and would be willing to do a +1 for someone who is unable to get it themselves.

Pool

Hellllll yes. I'm thrilled for this.

That said, since they're fixing mounts, will Paladins be getting mounts again? Or still no-go on that? I am all about that Paladin jousting life.

I totally support this, this is a NWN fans dream come true, this could potentially revive the game in ways we haven't seen in forever, more players, better systems, better graphics. I'm all for it, and will happily scrape together the cash to pay for the CD key- and if one of you can't afford it, and no one else can get you for a copy, I swear, by all that i am capable of, no matter what I have to do, I will find the funds to get you a key, I'll sell some old games if I have to, I'd love to see us all together in this, and I don't want to see a single player lost due to being unable to afford it. This community is great, and i'm sure we all have eachother's backs. I'm pre-ordering it myself.

And as mentioned, if this alleviates the amount of things hardcoded in the original game, then this is possibly one of the best things to happen to the ability to create custom content. Ever. Let's do this
