I will make sure to start off by rolling simple characters that I'm not too badly attached to, then.

And, Granny! I stumbled across your post about Biterips the other day and was definitely fascinated... I'll be contacting you later about the possibility. She reminds me of a character I used to play on a private RP WoW server (funnily enough, the character was named "Granny"). Mucho excitement!

Thanks for the offer, Sleeper!

Jayde Moon - I'll keep that in mind in terms of lore. If it comes to that, I can always ask my fiancee or one of my housemates for help... they're all old-school D&D nerds who definitely loved 3rd edition better than 4th.

Incorrigible and deflaro - thanks for pointing me to Mibbit! I'll be futzing with that shortly. Very kind of you (:

Erhamgerd! Thank you, everyone, for such a warm welcome! <3

Firstly let me reinforce my nubbishness by saying that I do, in fact, have NWN and not NWN2 and I'm not entirely sure why I said I have NWN2. Probably because I wasn't paying attention, as per usual.

Second, I'm in the process of finding a way to chat on IRC without shelling out 20 bucks to mIRC for the license, as I'm in a bit of a financial bind at the moment... so I'll be seeing you all in the IRC chat... later. When I find a client I can use without money and without massive confusion. I'm normally not this godawful at internet things, I promise!

Third! Dying! I'm good at dying. I'm also good at letting go of my characters, just in case. In a game where death is at least semi-permanent, I've learned how to just... you know. Love my character, but not be a whiny child if and when they die.

Fourth, I will spend my time waiting for a CD key from GOG wisely -- thanks for the suggestions to read the wiki and the new player guide! I shall prance to both pages and devour their information accordingly.

Y'all rock my socks. <3 Thanks to all you lovely peoples, again!

[UTC/GMT -5 hours]

Welcome to EfU.  What Time Zone would you normally play?  I bet that information would help folks to know if they will be a match!

Oh! Crudcakes, that's a good point.

I live in the time zone UTC/GMT -5 hours - USA east coast. I tend to play late nights (after 10pm) or morning (between 8am and 1pm) depending on my work schedule. This unfortunate soul has to sling coffee at ever-changing hours, but I will be communicative to my partner(s) about when I'm available!

Oh god I love your portrait.

contact GOG and they should have you a new one in a few days!

Thank you! (:

For the first question I assume their tech support or customer assisstance.

As for the second, no it won't damage your PC, it will just adjust the NWN files back to their default state. As to where to get it, try here:

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your willingness to look up links for me (: I promise I'm not lazy, just... stupid? Wait, that's not flattering either.

[Edit!]

As far as I last heard, GOG by default gives out a generic key which isn't unique. I think you need to request that they give you a unique one.

That and you'll need to run the critical rebuild patch because the GOG version isn't NWN it's NWN plus their own tweaks which prevents you from playing on most servers.

Thank you so much! Can GOG give a unique key? Do you know who I should contact there/how best to contact them? And not to nag you for more answers, but where is the safest place to download the critical rebuild patch? Will it damage my computer? Agh. I bet there's a FAQ about this somewhere I'm missing. Sorry to be begging for answers.

Edit! Wait wait! I'm sorry, I'm being a grown-up woman and checking the GOG forums instead of whining to a stranger. Getting a new CD key as we speak. I'm sorry to be such a pain!

So, er. I'm new. A complete nubcakes to the server, to NWN, and (practically) to the Forgotten Realms in general. I quite literally purchased a copy of NWN2 just because I google-stumbled my way onto this website and went "Ooh! This looks like boatloads of fun!"

The only thing I'm not a nubcakes about is roleplaying. I've done my share of forum-based and MMO-based roleplay for years, so I can at least hold my own when it comes to writing and improvisation. My character creation skills ain't too shabby, neither.

What I'd love to find for my first character is someone willing to let me attach my character to theirs in some way (crazy aunt, naive sibling, spurned lover, crotchety grandparent, clingy childhood friend, good-natured stalker, you know... the usual tropes). I know some about your basic sword-and-sorcery worlds, having a) played various homebrew D&D games with friends, b) begun to read the Icewind Dale series of books, and c) played too much World of Warcraft to really be healthy... and yes, I've played around in the actual NWN game some, although the GOG copy I own tends to crash every hour or so.

If someone has the inkling to help me into the RP community around here, has it somewhere deep in the soft squishy bits of their hearts, and would like to hold my hand while I try to remember that not ALL Drow are like Drizzt Do'Urden, I am super super super eager to make some fun!

My specialty is Dwarven women, because nobody loves them except me.


PS - have I mentioned I'm terrified? Because I'm totally terrified. Also excited. Terrixcited. Excitified. That.

[Could not connect to Master Server, some multiplayer services may not be available.]

Greets, all!

I am brand-spanking new to this server (and NWN multiplayer in general), and I have been attempting to connect to the server for the past few minutes.

I purchased my copy of NWN: Diamond Edition from GOG.com about a week ago, and only just created a multiplayer account in an attempt to connect.

Upon first logging in, I receive this message:
Could not connect to Master Server, some multiplayer services may not be available.

Upon attempting to connect to the server, I receive this message:
Server found. Attempting to log in.
Connection to server has failed.
Connection error: your CD key is already in use on that server.

My firewall is allowing the program through. Is there something I'm missing?

I apologize in advance if this issue has been addressed before (or if I am posting in the wrong forum for the subject!)  -- nothing came up when I searched the forums initially, but I admit I only got about a dozen pages into bug reports before I gave up. Like a nubcakes.
