| Layonara MMO Please use this forum to discuss the Layonara MMO. |
| 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.

It's nice that the UI (in its current form) more closely resembles Guild Wars than World of Warcraft. Warcraft has a lot of slots ready to put down items, spells, or whatever, except it seems randomly thrown about. In NWN, you had a 12-slot space which could be shifted to two other 12-slot spaces, allowing for a 36-slot total. Currently, I use 12 slots in layonara for roleplaying macros and the others for fighting and crafting-related things.
It would be nice to use a UI similar to NWN, which could be shifted with a button to reveal different sets. It looks really nice right now.
Good luck with progress. You guys have a lot of support from us.  | | | | |

Good luck with progress. You guys have a lot of support from us. | Any screenshots with UI showing in them are obsolete at this time. As for "shifted" sets and stuff... *chuckles* those types of things are simply not needed with the UI being implemented. Stay tuned for a future update regarding many of the UI features once the implementation details are ironed out. Expect that update about a month or two from now.

this might be a stupid question, and maybe I should know this, but will the new engine be compatible with NWN and/or will we need to download something to patch it?
heh heh...

The new engine has nothing to do with NWN. It will be its own separate game. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Dorganath For This Useful Post: | | |

...And you're charging for this? Sorry, the graphics are outdated and I'll be sticking with WoW, thank you.
It was pretty four years ago.

Nice shots  Just wondered are these actually places that will be in the game or were they put together to show us how good it is (and it is).
Can't wait until you're in beta...and the mac version is available

Replacement Reply: Weather or not the graphics are up to date is irrelevant. You guys are aspiring to do something that usually takes billions of dollars and large corporations to even get off the ground. I can respect that for what it is. You guys however, are lucky enough to have an initial small community of followers to start up the game/beta testing and stuff for you guys. You've already got your niche, and you seem to be pleasing it, so what more matters? Graphics? Naw.
I fully expect to see some sort of 10 day free trial for this thing before I go back to my outdated NWN and my newfound love for Forgotten Realms . Good luck.
