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

|  Layonara Development Log
Hello everyone,
While things have been a bit quiet from our end on these forums in the recent past, there is no lack of production going on in development of the future game client and world. In fact things have been as busy as they have ever been and we're growing more and more excited about our direction.
I am posting here to announce the launch of our development log web site where we hope to keep both our existing community and external interests abreast of the development of Layonara.
So without furthur ado, I present http://devlog.layonara.com
Keep it bookmarked and if you wish to comment on things, you can do so either here on the forums or by directly commenting on the log. We'll also be notifying this forum when a new entry has been added until it becomes second nature to keep up to date on that site as well.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support of Layonara.
Cheers,
orth

In the age of MMO's like WoW and UO you're not going to sell something like that.

Er, a little vague there, Witchy.
What's not sell-able? The graphics? I don't think that's the selling point.
See here.

Also, WH, I find it a bit rude that you'd sign in for the first time in ten months to make a derogatory post (that got caught by the language filter, even!) about a game that actually looks pretty darn cool in alpha.

Actually I've no idea why the word I used got filtered, because I don't consider it rude - It's not bordering anywhere the F word.
As for what I said? I'm being honest - Nothing rude about it. If the guys here are going to make something of this scale they can expect people to have negative opinions about it.
I mean - come on, how many times did one of you guys call one MMO or another a bad game? It's all the same.
Nothing rude there, that said - Good luck with the game, pity the NWN server won't stay.

I've added another short video clip. You probably need sound on to enjoy the environment otherwise it's pretty boring.
So yeah, I know a lot of you are really wanting to see combat/crafting etc, but those need pretty UI and UI is in the works. In the meantime enjoy the serenity of the waterfalls.
