You've been really busy. Shocked

Thank you for your hard work, looking forward to see this world.

You know, I'm sure some of the forums members (or the yahoo group you mentioned) would enjoy helping out for example, by creating items such as weapons, robes. I know of a really simple tutorial... though it was posted on a page of another Pw's forum... and I don't want people to think I'm advertising it. @_@;

But if you'd like, I'll pm it to you or to anyone else who might be interested.

I actually use RDRItemCreationWIzard Plugin, to make items that I need. The only problem though is taking the time to customize items pulls away from my building of the actual world. My priority right now is to flesh out all the zones that I can think off, then go back and fill them up with npcs, working in important conversations, then go into item creation, and lastly make shops.

All the weapons I made for my units so far are probably horribly overpowered by D&D standards. Like the Thunderer Blade that procs level 20 chain lightning on hit and has +20 enhancement, with wounding and such.

Well, its been alittle over a week since my last report, so I figured I'd update once more to let you all know how its coming. As I keep adding more areas and content into the persistent world.. I'm noticing it taking longer to load. So I fear I may have to remove the First time log in separation script, that separates each race into thier own city. And just start everyone off in 1 of two places based on alignment. It kind of sucks, but I wouldnt want people waiting 20 minutes just to log into the world. Maybe later on I can create separate modules and get people to help host, but thats further down the road.

Edited: Following through with that idea, I think will subtract from the amount of time it will take to put up a beta version of the PW.

Copied and Pasted from the separate thread.

Hello guys,

I know some of you have gone into the shadows, and are peekin in occasionally to see if I gave up yet . lol No I didn't. Infact, I've been focusing all my time of the PW lately. So much has been done, and I think I'm finally seeing that bend in the road, nearing the finish line. I've been reading the various forums out there about running a NWN2 PW, and acquiring tips and tricks on how to successfully run a stable server. I've also been building new areas, and coming up with new adventure ideas. So here's a little progress report and summary of the Rhydin Planes.

------------------------------------------

When entering the Rhydin Planes for the first time. The player awakens in the Plane of Adventure, this simple, yet beautifully designed area provides the player with all the information he/she will need to live a successful life in Rhydin. After speaking with the lore mistress, they are granted passage to the portal, where they will begin thier persistent life. Complete with a short unique cutscene to immerse the player in Rhydin's rich history.

Rhydin City will be the starting point for everyone at this stage in the PW. The player will have many quests available right off the bat to get started on making a name for him/herself. Not boring ones either, well scripted and pain stakingly detailed dialogs. The city is large, and very full of life... Birds in flight over the harbor, while the bells of Roc's temple chime the hour. The guards are ever vigilant, caring for it's citizens, answering questions to new comers on demand. The land outside the city walls lies many pitfalls for the careless traveler. However, those with a sharp wit, and strong character will survive the perils of the open road.

Quick Report.
1. Conversations. 75%
2. Scripts. 80%
3. NPCs. 95%.
4. Areas. 65%.
5. Items. 50%.
