Rumour Has It / Wedding of the year?
« on: February 08, 2013, 04:01:18 am »
// Because I couldn't resist!


Rumours begin to circulate through Tyr-Song and Westerngate of the impending marriage between a notable figure in the city and his equally ardent betrothed.


[SIZE=18]Sir Maxamilian De'Lourney, Knight Captain of the Wyrm, Servant of Rofirein, Instructor of the Code to wed Rofireinite Protector and Rofireinite Emissary to Taur'en, Samantha Merritt[/SIZE]


It is believed that the Merritt family of Westerngate and the De'Lourney family of Tyr-Song are going to invite many of the poorest families between the two cities to a celebratory feast at the same time they celebrate with their own friends and guests to share the love and joy of the occassion.

Sounds like an expensive affair but a noble one! Best wishes to them both!

Layonara Server / Housing sweep -- One Week Warning -- Everyone Read
« on: June 19, 2012, 12:13:07 am »
OK, after much delay (and some forgetfulness), I've gone ahead and done my own sweep of housing. This is a pretty simple sweep, based solely on activity level. To be specific, if the owner of a house has not logged in within the last 12 months, I have added that house to the following list:

On West:
101|102|104|113|115
118|120|127|130|133
[strike]136[/strike]|139|142|144|[strike]145[/strike]
[strike]146[/strike]|157|159|172|176
179|183|186|188|
[/table]On Central:
203|209|211|213|218
219|221|227|230|232
235|236|237|238|239
240|242|
[strike]246[/strike]|251|253
259|261|262|264|
[/table]Check these lists carefully.  If you still maintain access to one of these houses, you will need to either make arrangements to buy the house, present a solid reason for a transfer or vacate any possessions you wish to keep that may reside within.  Otherwise, the homes will be released back to the market starting in about a week.

For any homes that should not be released, post below with the following:

Address:
Character Name:
Proposed action:
Justification:

For clarity, this is not for people to start bidding or making a case for houses.  This is an avenue for people with an existing legitimate claim to a particular house to assert that for consideration. For example, if the house was owned by your character's spouse but the player has left or the spouse has permed, this would constitute a legitimate claim.  There are other possibilities, of course, and they will be evaluated on a case-by-case.  

If you are just trying to get in line to buy a house, I will not entertain any such requests here.  Anyone without some reasonable claim can attempt to purchase a house through the in-game process.

When these houses do go back on the market, please have some consideration for other players before snatching up houses simply for more guild/personal storage, and please observe the "one house per character" request, in letter and spirit (i.e. a pair of spouses don't need a pair of houses). Give everyone a shot at the beneficial opportunities that player housing offers.

Layonara Server / Server status -- 29-May-2012 (CDT)
« on: May 29, 2012, 08:26:51 pm »
Hello all,

I'm letting everyone know that there are presently what looks to be some severe network lag/timeout issues affecting the game servers.  The pings to the server are very good but they randomly drop out for anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes, apparently.

The physical server has been rebooted and both game servers have been restarted.  At this point, there's nothing we can do.  Game play will be difficult at best and hazardous at worst until the problem is worked out.  Consider this your warning; this qualifies as a known lag event, so any Soul Strand loss, item loss or other negative effects are non-reimbursable.

Both servers are up, but I cannot guarantee stability. Play at your own risk.

We'll continue to monitor the situation.

General Discussion / Social Media, Layonara and You
« on: May 22, 2012, 08:02:22 pm »
Hello ladies and gents,
 
 As you may have noticed Layonara's social media platforms have reawakened somewhat recently. Over the last year or so we have been learning about and exploring the usage of social media. It's possibility for growth, for developing more interactive options for the community and overall build of enjoyment of everyone who participates. There have been a lot of ideas and some have been cast aside. One thing is for sure however, social media is definitely something we want to pursue and think it will be useful to everyone who chooses to use these platforms.
 
 To this end we're going to officially announce our move forward with social media. We will be using Facebook, Twitter and Google+ to do a host of things ranging from quest promotion, rumor spreading (you know, the kind that happens IG, not ... that other stuff from RL *winks* ), announcements, and anything else fun we can think of. These three mediums are not the extent of our intentions but it's what we are starting out with for now. We will “soon” have compatible buttons for promoting things you like on the forums. Google+ has some options to us that we're still playing around with and we might rearrange some things as we go.  
 
 Along with this we're going to put forward some incentives. At some specific goal markers we'll be offering the community special reward time periods as we achieve them. Our first goal is we'd like to have is an increased number of members on our fan groups.  

 As of this posting Google+ (found here) has 12 members.
As of this posting Twitter (@layonara) has 22 followers.
 As of this posting Facebook (found here) has 151 fans.
 When we reach 50 + users, 50 followers and 200 fans we'll celebrate with a double exp weekend. This is a test incentive. Other ideas are baking and we might just test them out sometime in the middle of our fan drive, and likely after we achieve these goals.  

 So, if you'd like to add some dimension to your RP, use #layoquest, #layorumor or #layoRP (as appropriate) on any of the three formats to make it searchable to your fellow members. The hash tag commands will make your activities searchable, Twitter and Google+ allowing it to be found with one click. If you you have a jam-packed feeds and are curious if there's been any announcements you don't want to miss, search out #layonara. Want to put a shout out to your friends for a spur of the moment get together? Yep, you guessed it #layoLFG! Long running series are more than welcome to develop their own hashtag usages. Make sure you use the #layoquest marker as well to loop us all in as appropriate.  
 
 Additionally, Gms will be using more of the social media formats to make announcements about their quests. That means we'll be retweeting (RT) and/or sharing information through our feeds to you. Alatriel has graciously allowed us to use her series as a tester for this and it seems to have gone over well. This will expand slowly over time as Gms grow more comfortable using this format. It is highly likely that quest tidbits or pre-quest work will be given out in this manner eventually. It is also likely that these formats will be utilized to alert players to impromptu or other special opportunities in game.  

 Will we RT/Share stuff from players? It's possible! Perhaps we see a rumor that needs to spread a little further, some RP that needs a particular nod, or an idea we rather like. We will definitely be watching to see what you guys do with this. One of the neat concepts in social media is the virtually limitless ideas out there. We are really excited to see what you all do with it.

Introduce Yourself / 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?

General Discussion / Saddle Bag Pawn
« on: November 26, 2011, 11:44:12 am »
Heya Everyone,

Just wanted to drop a note saying how impressed I was when I went into the new Saddle Bag Pawn shop. It's one of the nicest layouts for a shop I've seen! Plus you can trade CNR for credit now so low levels actually have a way to earn a few items that otherwise they couldn't afford.

Do check it out! Just wanted to give the owners a round of applause!

Rumour Has It / Tragedy Strikes Fort Llast
« on: October 22, 2011, 07:02:38 pm »
Rumor has it that an entire family was recently murdered in Fort Llast.  A local carpenter and his wife along with three of their children were found slain early the morning of Decilar 4, 1488.  William Leox, the couple's oldest son, is said to be in training with the Toranites, and is said to be the one who had found them.  

Those responsible have been named as Kane Donovan, a local weapons merchant, and two thugs, Gregor Juritz and Kurt Dunham.  The three were charged by local authorities with five counts of murder and mistreatment of a woman and publicly hanged following sentencing.

The Leox family funeral was presided over by the church of Toran, and the bodies of four of the dead were burned on a funeral pyre.  It is still uncertain what happened to the fifth body, but some say that one of the children was raised and is now in the care of the church.

Thoughts and sympathetic prayers have been offered to the eldest son in these difficult times.

The journey is always more important than the destination, and every journey is different. With that being said, I will try to work with you to find out exactly what it is that you want to do, but the steps are yours. I will put the tools before you, but you will have to take the first step.Please formulate your requests with:1: This is what I would like for my character to attempt to accomplish on an ooc level.2: This is what my character is doing to start down that path on an ic level.We'll start from there.CDQ's in Progress:

[SIZE=16]Bug Report[/SIZE] Description: Every time the exchange counter at the Angels guild store is used it takes several seconds for items to transfer. Now, if this was just a local occurance, it wouldn't warrant a report, but while I was trading with Tyra Sunday night, I had two different players not present tell me they were experiencing severe lag as DB placed items to and from from this device and Tyra looked at them. Worth looking into? I'll let you decide. Location: Angels Guild Store Verified: Reproducable: Yes, just use the counter (2 places) at the Angels guild store.

Layonara Server / Version 3.30.1 is online!
« on: November 16, 2010, 10:16:59 pm »
[SIZE=32]Version 3.30.1 is online![/SIZE]

In keeping with my recent post about updates, here's a small one.

Changes:
  • Add road travel system to Lake Splendor and Windjammer's Bay
  • Tweak Ilsare's summons to bear her colors in some way
  • Fix Guard Ashley's description to mention the correct city name
  • Fixed some broken/buggy giant spawns in the Great Forest
  • Renamed the Weary Traveler to the Silver Buckle due to change in ownership
  • Undead Shape and Construct Shape have been disabled due to lore conflict.  They will likely be replaced with something else down the road.
  • Some adjustments of some spawns somewhere in the world
That's it!  Nothing major this time.
