Welcome to the Layonara forums!

Layonara is so much more than a game. We started off as a tabletop Dungeons and Dragons campaign more than a decade ago. Since then we have developed into a fantasy world with as much compelling and engrossing detail as you will find anywhere.

Our current showcase is a Neverwinter Nights version of Layonara, where our world comes to life in a finely polished persistent world which you can play free of charge. These forums are set up to support and accentuate our player's experiences, but it goes far beyond that.

After years of passionate effort, our world is so well developed, so detailed, so refined that any of the handbooks, maps, historical accounts, legends, descriptions of artifacts, creature reports, character biographies, short stories, novels, movies and original art which populate these forums can surely serve as resources or inspiration for your own fantasy endeavors, whatever they may be. And our world is endlessly evolving, so resources are frequently added and updated.

There are also years of sage advice and commentary on role-playing, gaming and online community development stored in these forums. If camaraderie is what you seek, we offer that too. Our community is as active and supportive as you're likely to find on the internet. In short, these forums are a resource for you to use for whatever purpose or project brought you here.

We're confident that you will find what you are looking for, and likely, substantially more.

Please be our guest and browse around the forums which are available to you. As you do, keep in mind that you are sampling only a portion of what Layonara has to offer. Membership in our community is free, and allows you to establish a Layonara identity to pose your questions and share your thoughts on the forums. When you join you'll also be able to communicate privately to other members (PMs), establish and respond to polls, upload and download content and access many other special features.

Default updating from bioware

i have a dial up connection at home and last week had to reinstall windows. when i get home from camp i will reinstall nwn, but when i need to update or patch if you like, the file is around 60 mb. for some reason i download files at 5 kb/sec, this isnt a real problem since i can do it at night and sleep. however somtimes i get dumped by my server and when i lose connection i have to restart the update procedure. disapionting to wake and see you still a need a 6-7 hour download. and theres even a bigger chance to get dropped during the day when things are busier. i have access to a high speed connection and im wondering if the updates can be downloaded and installed another way than thru the update option of nwn.

You need to get a download accelerator. If when they fail (for whatever reason) they start off where you last were--instead of starting over again from the beginning.

What you want to do is go to the bioware site and download the critical rebuild version 1.66 using the high speed connection you said you have access to. Then burn that on a CD or something and run it on your computer with nwn. That will patch you up to 1.66.
