Did anyone else notice the odd coincidence that today's date is 7-7-7?
The relatively small size of the game means lots of interaction with the DMs, ...
H As for Tori, that looks like an interesting game and I wish anybody on the team running or anybody playing it all the fun in the world. Every person playing games (or running a world) is doing it to have fun and the definition of fun or enjoyment is different across the board for all of them. Perhaps this is a good world for them to check out and perhaps it isnt, but just like I stated above, choice is a wonderful thing in life. When something is free and choice is exercised then great things can (and often do) happen. I personally think it is wrong, disrespecful (regardless of what you feel about Layonara or the community) and unprofessinoal for you to advertise on a game world/community site about another game world/community site, that is what a place like MMORPG.com is for (check it out if you havent, it is a fanstastic site). Sites like that are dedicated to trying to support online gaming worlds/communities, not just an individual world/community and it where this sort of posts should go. And yep, the game industry can be a nasty beast that is for sure; I will just leave it at that. To everybody, please keep this thread respectful. And please do not advertise game worlds on other game world sites as it is the respectful, proper, and professional thing to do in any world/game community.
"...Is your new game engine being paid for by people on the team?..." Yes, we are paying for use of the engine but not in the MMO Licensing sort of way. It is a game engine that is fairly well known and has a great licensing scheme that works well for us. We are also paying for various aspects of development, when/where we can. All I can say at this time. "....Or do you have investors giving you money?...." Right now? No. "....How will you attract consumers to the new game?...." I will not get in to this right now. "....Who are the list of people developing the game?..." Look at the Future of Layonara post and they are listed in there. ".....A list of names and their role. All game companies have this information freely available without fear of "theft"...." This will all be talked about at a later time when the game site goes live. For a list of names the Future of Layonara post. Best I can offer right now. "....Are you making your own engine, or modifying one?..." Modifying. ".....What is the current progress of it? 20% done?...." Sorry, I will not state where we are at this time.
I've been looking for neverwinter nights worlds to play on, and keeping a watch on this one. The world seems very nice and the people good. (...) no I am not a promoter or user of Planeshift
I have created an nwn world for players to RP in... (...) We have many things layo does not have(...) These posts are for RECRUITING
Hi Zergon, I wish you the best of luck on your world. It is a mighty nice thing for you (or anybody) to start a game world for players to come and enjoy (be it an NwN world or some other game engine). In the same vein everybody that has their own world/community has their own rules and that is up to each person (or team) running a world. Along the same line every player (every single one) has their own reasons to play on any given world out there (NwN or not), and they have their own idea and thought process of what makes a world or community good or at least satisfactory enough to play. It is fine that you do not like Layonara and clearly do not like me personally, that is fine, to each their own.
We have known about your world for several weeks and that is okay, everybody that plays NwN is just looking to have fun and escape the pressures of RL in a free game world, some like Layonara, some do not and that is just fine. After doing this for over five years I have seen many worlds start up just like yours. Every person doing this is doing it out of love and the desire of creating a fun and great world with what they desire to see in a community, they are also a hobbiest that loves what they are doing for one reason or another; without exception. Everybody can do what they want and play where they want, that is part of the cool thing about choice but it is also one of the very cool things about NwN and why I think the NwN community exists 5 years after release. Every person is different and every game world is different and every community is different, it comes with the territory of creating and running a gaming community. It is also the reason that there is more than one game world for NwN, people are different and they have their own desires, thoughts, beliefs, rules, systems, players, and world.
I do ask that you do not come to Layonara and advertise your game world or community. We do not do that to other NwN servers or NwN communities and I kindly ask that you do not do that to us (or any NwN community/world) for that matter (not just Layonara). It is an unspoken sort of respect and professional thing in the entire NwN community (not just for/from me or Layonara), even if one does not agree with a server operator or creator (or team). I have no problem with you being at the site or in the game world posting in a respectful sort of way (to the team, individual, Layonara, or any other NwN game world/community out there). But I do ask that you not advertise and that you be respectful. Thank you.
I wish you and your game world the best. As for Tori, that looks like an interesting game and I wish anybody on the team running or anybody playing it all the fun in the world.

Advertising on your site is not what my intention was as stated above.
