New Hogwarts!

As many of you know by rumor, we have been hard at work creating a brand new Hogwarts environment. I would like to officially announce the unveiling, tomorrow (Sunday)!

Hogsmeade, the grounds, all the way to the owlry on the roof of the castle! New classrooms, hallways, staircases. Turrets, towers and windows. Brand new hospital wing, and library. All new with the new CEP2.2 tilesets, providing a visual environment previously simply impossible in NWN.

The grounds, castle and Hogsmeade have been painstakingly recreated from the details in the books to the greatest accuracy we can muster.

Please join us tomorrow evening (AZ evening!) for the official server update!

Hallelujah! Not going to miss that (if I can help, hopefully I don't have to work)

If I am right, and it's released around 6:30pm MST, then 11:30am my time. Excellent!

Cheers Calan and everyone else who worked on this! I'll say it now just to be the first.
KUDOS!!! Excellent job.

That's right, beefcake, it's prettier than this! Really...it rocks hardcore. I do caution everyone who wants to have a good experience to be certain have the latest CEP 2.2 c3 and updated video card drivers :D.

We are going to be shooting to update the server at 6:00 PM AZ time, that's about 1 1/2 hours from this post. I think we can do it by then, but please understand that it may be a little late.

The new castle seems to be crashing the server! Never fear, we'll figure it out! For now, we'll have to run the old castle until we have the issue solved.

The new castle is in, and running. It seems that a couple of the PC's may be crashing the server on login. (Liss is one of them!) If you have tried to log into the server and the server seems to go down, PLEASE refrain from logging in with that PC until I can get this narrowed down and fixed.

The rest of everyone, this is part of the debug process unfortunately. We'll need to put up with the crashing for a little while, but please trust me that this is an absolute top priority to figure this out.

I mean -my- PC is at stake!!!

>.>

:D We'll get it working!

Since the server went up, we've had no other crashes other than Liss. >.>

Please do let me know if the server does go down, I'll get it back up as fast as I can. MSN me if I'm on. If not, post on the forums in the New Castle Bug Thread. Also, please do let me know if it's one of your PC's that crashed the server, or if you suspect it. Don't worry, you won't be in trouble, knowing which PC's crash the server will help me narrow down exactly what's wrong faster.

Updated the server, and Liss didn't crash the server! I think the crashing issue has been resolved.
