Gettin' Back into Online Roleplaying
« on: May 11, 2012, 12:47:32 am »
Howdy from Texas!

I used to be an avid NWN player back in middle school and loved the D&D based game dearly up until the point that my computor got struck by lighting and died around six years ago.

My family purchased a Mac, rendering my old NWN Platinum Edition CD set for the PC useless and the years rolled by. I played World of Warcraft for a bit, but then my guild died and the game got old. I moved on to a local gaming group composed of some friends in high school, but then in the last couple of years we were forced to fragment due to differences in university choice.

So here I am, after picking up a new copy of Neverwinter Nights Complete at a Walmart or something I have come back to what I fondly remember as one of the few great online roleplaying games where people actually roleplay effectively.

I must warn you all that I am not the fastest typist in the world, nor am I a champion speller, but I hope that you will forgive me and that we will have some memorable times together.

I've submitted my first character, Sterling Truesilver, who hopefully does not contain too much lorebreaking material in his biography and gets accepted soon. It'll be interesting starting out as a wimpy level one in such an established community, but hey, what can ya' do?

Welcome.
 
 Lot of established players here just started new characters over the last week -not sure why  - but that makes your timing pretty good from the wimpy perspective! -  lots of players to mingle with.
 
 Be sure and ask anything as you go, and people will help  - makes exploring much more interesting.

Level does matter - but on the other hand, doing something is much more interesting and fun than just grinding and farming and leveling and stuff. Once you get enough knowledge on the world, it appears to get easier, or so I was never told ;)

That will be handy! My fellow low-levels will actually know what's going on!

It's a great place if RP is your thing.  Glad to have some new blood.

Don't worry I'm a slow typer and bad speller and I do ok.
