| 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. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free. So please. join our community today!

It's best if you leave like 10 minutes more...When it crashes...Find something Fun to do - contribute on the forums or something, get your voice heard!
Try running around the house 5 times, that should work.

Acctually, I think its not natural for most people. Often when the server crashes with 32 people on or something, I chat a bit in the chat look back to see if it came up yet, and theres 21 people on. Thats 2/3rds who aren't waiting 5 minutes.

Thing is, when the server comes back up, people think 'heh probably it won't hurt if i login already, i mean, what's wrong with only one person logged now?', and then there are about 20 more people thinking the same way... *shrugs*
This has to change, but it's so hard for people to realize it, it's just sad.

The people who are causing the crashes have no clue, they don't bother to read the forums.
We can all make posts till were blue in the face, its up to them to read them and follow it.

 When the server crashes and I feel like waiting around to play some more, I go and chat with other players. More often than not, I get so caught up in the conversations that I forget to log back in and end up only coming back after 15-20 minutes of chatting.

Yoohoo...*shakes his head and points to the heading of the thread*
Edit: Heh...from the time I started posting this (because I witnessed people doing it) to the time I alt+tab back to the game, the server had crashed again. Just wait and let it load.

OK I have a cure for this I hope
1 can you make it so we cannot login until the server is done rebooting up? If you gurus can problem solved.
2 Can you program in a SHOUT that comes on every 3 hours that states not to rush the server
3 Can we (the community) write a standerd SHOUT that the GM's and /or selected players can do once and a while
well just a sugestion of a cure | | | | |

If people would just go and take a bio, get something to eat, read the forums....If you wait a few minutes it will come up and be playable.

Stop rushing, or some GM will port you and I to the GM Area. And then you and I will talk for hours... until you crack! | | | | |

I guess an idea to temporarily change the password for the server until the reset is complete would be a good a idea...that way NOONE could get back on until the password was changed back. | | | | |
