Post subject:  Nostalgia

While tooling around on NWN's official forums the last few days, I was brought back to my early days of NWNing. I realized that I somehow managed to accumulate nearly 550 posts on the official NWN forums years ago (O.O How did I forget that?). I also joined way back in 2002...I'm not even sure if the HP mod was around back then. Wish it had been...

I recall being very active, especially in three different communities (which have all been axed in my intervening years). Got me to thinking, wonder if anyone on here was ever involved in one of them?

I was a fairly active member of the PlanetNeverwinter boards hosted by Gamespy back in my early days. That was pre-CEP or anything, and I recall us managing to come up with some pretty cool stuff way back when (all of which I've -completely- forgotten since). Those forums have long since been flushed down the toilets...

My main and most active PW server at the time was Fraghaus-Krynn, which has long since tanked under. I'll never forget the days of waiting in line on Gamespy to join the 96/96 server. On my dial-up. Laptop. With a celeron...

I was also a founding member of the PlanetNeverwinter in Krynn group (originally for people of the former who played on the latter). Most of us ended up moving on from Krynn in the end to create and DM our own modules for each other. Fun stuff.

***

Anyone recall any of these? It was almost like looking through my high school yearbook when I went through the NWN forums a bit ago. How about other nostalgia? Anyone else reminiscing in their early days on NWN?

DM'd at Sorin. Head DM'd at Sorin's sister-server Gothos. Played on some server that takes place in a Forgotten Realms frontier town. Played on Escape and Escaped from Underdark. Anyone know me from anywhere? : P

And sorry Feargus, never been to those places. :3

The last server I devoted my time to as both a player and a DM shut down and with it, the forums. I have a few screenshots kicking around. Fun to look back. I still keep in touch with some of the old crowd; trying to get them to come and play on HP. One success so far! One other already plays here. ;) Est Sularus oth Mithas!

Ahh, good to hear those old familiar words again. My honor is my life ;).

I've completely lost touch with everyone from those days. We were all so active on forums and in game, we never thought to exchange other contact info. With all said forums being canned in my intervening years...well, that's kinda how I found this place ;).

HP has been my main community throughout NwN. >_>; The year before it was released though I jumped around a few communities, never sticking to one. Though a favorite was Isandor, not sure how they are over there now-a-days but it had amazing RP, etc.

My first ever server was something with an N... which then turned into Castle Durgalbane, and now (if still around) Mount Evereska. (Loval Vault)

Penguin and I also played on some other SV server for a while but I can't recall which it was.

Well, I've played for years, can't recall ever posting much on the nwn.bioware.com boards, although I may have. I've floated around from server to server, stayed on a few, tested a few, and DM'd a few.

I can recall some, so here is a list:

  • Arelith
  • Amia - Unfortunately
  • Ancient Rage
  • Antiworld
  • Bastions of War - Unfortunately
  • Amon
  • StormNexus - Played with Evan there.
  • Shargast
  • Prisoners of the Mist
  • ROTR

The only other server I ever played on was The Last Jedi. Yeah, I'm a nwn noob still.

My salami has mittens!!!!

And yeah, Rowan, I miss Krynnhaven, too. ;) Stone still stomps around scowling in the back of my head.

My main two have been the aforementioned KrynnHaven and Wheel of Time: The True Source. Both great communities with some good, if not great RP. I like to think that Zane is different enough from either of my "good" guys there that no one would recognize me without the login nickname. ;)

And just for old time's sake....

Return this man to Huma’s breast
Beyond the wild, impartial skies;
Grant to him a warrior’s rest
And set the last spark of his eyes
Free from the smothering clouds of wars
Upon the torches of the stars.
Let the last surge of his breath
Take refuge in the cradling air
Above the dreams of ravens where
Only the hawk remembers death.
Then let his shade to Huma rise
Beyond the wild, impartial skies.

Hm... I started off on Arelith, playing a drow, then moved on to a Zombie Survival Server, then onto Arvale, spending very little time on each. Then onto here. So, yeah, I'm still a n00b. :D

Arelith was my first RP Server. I played PW Action all the time beforehand.

~Sigh~ In the two years I've owned a copy of NWN Diamond edition... I've jumped from and to:

Amia
Arelith
ArgentumRegio (CityofDohral)
Harry Potter (obviously)
ROTR
TLJ
World Serpent Inn
Zhymm's World
StormNexus
All past and present Wheel of Time servers
Over twenty of my own failed and successful servers that ended for some reason or another
LOTR Enhanced
Naruto
Dungeons and Dragons 3,5 (CH2 Narcs Bonds of Blood)
And I think that's it. :)

Never played anywhere.
Never done anything.
I have no life, no past, no real roleplaying future.
Especially not in NeverWinter Nights.
(And yes, I have a bridge inside of Albany I would like to send you if you believe the last two lines.)

- Naruto I *
- Naruto II
- Bleach-X (granted DM position once) *
- World of Harry Potter *
- Soul Society (another Bleach manga/anime based server)
- Rebirth of Trinity
- Escape From Undermountain *

* = servers I spent more than six months on or have over one hundred posts on their forums.

I would post the links to the various forums, but I don't know if that is allowed or not.

Wow...who did you play? Know a kender named Serraphin Quickblade or Perio Nillian?

(yes, this is totally worth my first post)
