I dug up this old module i use to enjoy and will be hosting it for the next few days to see if anyones interested in it as a passtime. It is basically as follows:
Two dragons, Aniel and Roshnak engage in an epic battle to dominate the realm. You join forces with either to be a hero in this battle. Fight alongside the Dragons' armies, slay hordes of underlings while raking in the treasure. But be wary of enemy Heroes, they could be hiding in the shadows. Team Battle Arena at its finest!
Each battle you and your team mates will start at level 4 and progress and you continue to battle the opposing forces and gaining gold as you do, the idea being you will grow in power and equipment so you can take on the enemy dragon. Upon a death you will respawn after a short period of time and be able to rejoin the battle.
This is not like any of the major PvP nwn servers and can be a lot of fun if a lot of people get involved.
Its basically DOTA / LOL in NWN form.
The plan is to have a big team game later around 17:00 GMT (4 hours from now) if enough people are interested.
real oldschool nwn, I remember rolling around on these servers back in 04
lol i used to play this, i'm down
If i get enough interest i'm going to design an EFU themed battle.
Sons vs Stygians
H'bala vs Mistlocke
something like that..
Key to victory: Maximized Isaacs.
Ah.. I was so sad when I looked one day and couldn't find the BOTD server. :(
I'm definitely playing. VORAGOR THE TORNADO COMES TO SLAY THE DRAGON! :P
I'm game if I have time.
Oh sweet I really loved this! Going to get some more folks who played that with me possibly.
Got some bugs to iron out, i'll let you know when its up again.
EDIT: Scrap that, its all fixed.

Tau's Whip has the Onhit Freeze Property and the Chill Aura.
Tau was also black.
And it's Kedrian, not Kendrian.
Awesome job OWN. Can't believe I missed this.
Thanks for the feedback :P Updated
Beta test will being later, anyone interested in joining the Sons vs Stygians tournament hit me up on IRC in #BOTD
Aiming to have it up in 4 hours from now.
Starting in the next half hour!
Next game in half hour.
This is back up and running, although I haven't modded it yet to have an efu theme as seen above. If anyone is interested in playing a dota style team battle game would love to set up a 3v3/4v4 or 5v5 game depending on interest. Let me know!

Can we get a civil service vs bureaucratic gridlock theme thx
I'm down for this. Create an IRC channel or something.
IRC channel is #BOTD
Direct connect is 25.129.149.191 (no password)
As a trial run I will be running the serve this evening approximately 8 hours from this post. The game will last approximately 90 mins and teams will be dependent on interest levels.
To give people a bit of background:
There will be two teams who will fight upon the battlefield which consist of three lanes. Each lane has defenders that you will overcome as you grow in levels/power and troops that will permanently march towards the opposing factions base. The idea of the game is the push back the opposing teams defenders to eventually destroy their teams dragon. Each player will start at level 4 with a set amount of gold and you will gain levels and gold by killing enemy soldiers and defeating other players - as you level up you will be able to afford to buy better equipment that will help you press the attack. (If you've played DOTA the premise is essentially the same but NWN version).
If you are interested in joining tonight let me know either on here or on IRC and you can join our channel #BOTD
You will need Hamachi which is free to download to join see further up the page for details.
That was an exciting match. If enough are up for it, I wouldn't mind this being a weekly or biweekly thing. It certainly brought back memories to the earlier days of NWN. :)
Was a very nice game! I will be hosting this random intervals for now when I have time. We had a 4 v 4 game last night and I will be putting it up again tonight around the same time (8 hours approx from this post) would be nice to see a few more.
Aiming for at least a 5 v 5 game for this coming Saturday- time to be decided. Hit me up on the IRC channel if your interested.
I will just say this is a great opportunity to experience some good old fashion early days nwn, nice if you want to learn some mechanics as well (its actually how I learnt myself years back).
Aiming to have a game tomorrow at GMT + 1 8.00pm
8 Hours time until next game.
IRC channel is #BOTD
Approx 1 hour !
I'm putting this back up again tonight, hit me up on IRC for info. You shouldn't need Hamachi anymore because I forwarded my ports.
All up and running so I will be putting this up again tonight approximately 4 hours form this post. Anyone interested come to #botd in IRC.
This is going up in just under an hour for anyone interested / join #botd on irc (You will need Hamachi I can give more info in the channel).
Putting this up in about an hour and a half, would be good to have a few more folks on board. #botd
up in 30 mins join #botd for details
Going up in 1 hour 15 mins join #botd
Putting the server up for anyone who is interested 2.5 hours from this post.
Just to refresh- I am hosting a PVP arena server on nwn that's very similar to Dota/League.
You will need to download Hamachi
Come to IRC Channel #botd
Great game last night. I will be running this sporadically over the Christmas period.
If anyone has any suggestions as well feel free to send me a message on here or IRC. These can be suggested Items / improvements.
Also if we maintain the current level of interest I may even mod another themed map over the xmas period.
Server is going up in 25 mins #botd
Server is up in about 30 minutes get in #botd might even put something festive in the module.. if I can be arsed
Servers up now.. starting in about 20 minutes. Come join #botd
Throwing this up again shortly..
Planning on running this again if there is any interest - Very easy now hosting on EE so no requirements needed just log on and play.
JOIN discord channel if you are interested so we can co-ordinate
https://discord.gg/mVcA7rfM
I'll play
I should clarify as this is a very old thread - this is a chill PvP nwn module, that is very similar to DOTA/LOL - 2 dragons, 3 lanes fighting it out until one of the dragons is slain. Had a good amount of interest so far ideally I would like 5 v 5 or more, aiming to run this tonight GMT in like 5 hours ish from now. Feel free to join the discord channel anyone is welcome.
Good way to learn some PvP too.
I'll throw this up while efu is down if people want to mess around. Server will be BOTD - EFU (no password).
This will decide who the pvp master of efu is.
