Hello everybody!

[SamualACarver]

I am new to Layonara and NWN. I found Layonara from a D&D site link. The site talked about how Layanora was a very realistic D&D experience. How roll playing was very important here vs other RPG or D&D like games. It also talked about how getting magic item etc.. was harder and they were more rare here. Like I believe it should be. After checking Layonara out myself I thought it looked totally awesome. It seems much more realistic and is very close to actually playing a live D&D game. As the article said instead of it being like other RPGs where your character gets tons of super weapons and spells and you just blast through everything. It is much more conservative and you have to better manage your resources and you better respect the items and weapons you get. Plus the importants put on roll playing and respecting other players is very appealing to me. From the little bit I have learned from reading the different tutorials etc.. Layonara looks to be a totally awesome game.

Anyway I am ready to start playing on Layonara. I will be playing a Ranger/Cleric named Samual A Carver AKA Sam The Butcher. I have played through some of NWN to get a feel for the controls etc.. I am ready to start on Layonara.

I have a question. I am sure I could find the answer somewhere but havent yet. So I thought it would be easier to ask. After I submit and have my character approved. How do I log onto Layonara. I saw on the game menu the multiplayer options. Like which expansion I want to play on Shadows of Undrentide etc.. But where/how do I log onto Layonara. I didnt see that option anywhere. I dled and loaded the files I need. I think they are in the right spot. I could be missing something obvious, but if someone could tell me how to get logged into Layonara I would really appreciate it. Please give detailed instructions if there are a few steps involved, so I dont get confused

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to meeting and adventuring with you all in Layonara.

download the haks for layo and place them in the proper file folder

once you have your character approval then you will be given the place and password to log in to get started

when in the first area with is an ooc (out of character area) you can read the signs and they will help direct you to the proper starting place for your character
