Not that anyone has really noticed (lel), but I've uh... not really been on within the past two weeks.  Things keep cropping up, plus it's that time of the year where you remember that you have a family.  I should be able to start playing again on Friday for sure.

Dang.  Make a devotee of the Triad.  Join us!

The only suggestion I could make it what I've seen on a few other places - players who log in with this key are teleported to an isolated area where they are informed of the problem in-game.  Since there would also be a problem with vault overlap, you could always then flag the character .bic for deletion after a forced conversation or something.  

The chances of anyone coming across this server without having read the website are fairly slim I would think though, and I imagine the work would be for naught.

Edit:

Below is a link to something FunkySwerve on the Bioware NWN forums put together to give you an idea of how it can be handled:

Hm.  Pretty strange.  I know that the files from here are working correctly for me.

Ahh, I see.  My mistake, I didn't read the original post thoroughly enough.

I have both custom domain downloads.

Do you mean you have both the feats.2da and domains.2da files in your override?  If you open the domains.2da file in notepad, does it match what I posted above?

The domains should be displaying fine, as I was toying around with creating a Cleric myself last night and they all displayed.  Part of the reason I shot from the hip on this was it took me a few minutes to figure out the naming discrepancy.

I've noticed the names in the list do not always correlate to what shows up in character creation.

Below is the list of domains as they appear in the character creation screen (this is the data directly from the domains.2da override)- just count down the list and the item listed should correlate with them:

I'm at work, otherwise I'd try to match it up in game.  They should be the two domains above Fate.

I can see where the difficulty would be a problem for people who aren't vastly familiar with NWN mechanics.  In a way I am lucky, I spent more time than I am willing to admit playing this game since it came out.  I also played a number of characters on City of Arabel, which is arguably near the same level when it comes to being unforgiving for making mistakes or even just being unlucky (an enemy with a greataxe is guaranteed to 1 hit someone).

I've been out of the roleplaying scene in general since about 2008 and decided to try to get back in to things now that I have a bit more free time these days.  I actually spent a fair amount of time reading about the mechanics changes and what I could find about the setting before rolling a character.  There is still a lot I don't know about, but that's inevitable when joining a server with this kind of history.

One thing that has been mentioned and that I have seen before is the phenomena of a server having 30 players but only seeing about 5 or 6 of them in the town's common area.  I get cliques, and it's inevitable if the server vets have been here for a while, but it is a little discouraging because I know how that song and dance works.

I've only played for about two days, so I'll withhold any further judgement until I've given this some time for things to flesh things out.

Hello.  I believe I attempted to play here many moons ago when it was still Escape from the Underdark.  Prior to that I played on countless NWN servers since the game came out.  I've been out of the roleplaying scene for the past few years and decided I wanted to give it another go.  Hopefully I'll see you in-game soon.
