Pardon my newness... when you say Central, East, and West ... are you talking actual servers? or just zones on one server?  I am still trying to figure out this site

Welcome back.  As a new guy to the server I am most willing to group with your New character.

Best way to differentiate IC chat from OOC is simply this:  Green text = Out Of Character (Tells), White text = In Character (Local Chat, and Party Chat).

The exception being White Text preceeded by '//' which indicates the message on Local or Party channel is meant OOC and which all players should try to avoid using unless they need to inform multiple players of something IMPORTANT of an OOC nature.

This would be GREAT info to include in your newb area information (and yes..your new newb knows it now  ).  I just found out that even my PARTY text was monitored ...which I had no clue.  I figured Shout and Say were the only things DM's could see.  That came as a shock to me that DM's could see my party text even if they werent in my party.

No problem Nehetsrev ... it's all good now.  Sorry for the confusion.  Truthfully, I didnt remember your characters name as you were the first person I saw go running by.  I wasnt sure of the amount of non english speaking people on this server (I played on a server where there were actually quite a few) so I wasnt going to waste my time and yours trying to converse if there was no point.  Hopefully, we can one day group and kill a critter or two.  Slate would like that.

So you're the dwarf Iz met the other day? heh just so you know, her name was supposed to be a pain on purpose, even I cant spell it

 Mission Accomplished on the name then

But anyway, I'm really sad to hear you didnt like the server, from what I've seen from meeting you you were a great roleplayer and were quite fun and amusing to hang with! Sadly I couldnt stay otherwise I would have helped you some more and show you the rest of the beautiful areas you should and shouldnt go through(That I know off anyway).

I most definetly understand real life issues.  I wasnt attempting to make you feel bad for leaving...I was merely pointing out that I found a wonderfully helpfull person with lots of rez scrolls ...oops..did I type that last part out loud? O.o

I have to say though, first from reading through your post I felt as if I was acting wrong too, which I hope I havent and if I did, my apologies. Her comment on how you shouldnt die alot wasnt ment to insult you oocly in any way, she was just acting "paladinishly", you know....feeling all mighty and superior that thinks she can tell others how to behave, was in no way ment to oocly offend you!.

hahaha...I wasnt the slightest bit insulted....I was aggreeing with you.  I was roleplaying my incredibly wreckless dwarf.  He kept dying because he wouldnt stay in the back with the women and children during the fights with the polymorphed giants

And one last thing, Iz isn't a cleric, she just used lay on hands on you twice which I didnt know actualy gives exp when saving people so it was a win-win situation for the both of us, heh.

/IC Slate only knows one moment he was drawing breath and fighting an evil kobold bent on distruction of the new city he wants to call home, then *PAIN* and it was dark, then it was light and he felt better.  When he awoke there was a helmed and armored woman over him.  She had healed him and more.  It was obvious (even to a dwarf) that it was a female.  They dont make armor like that for any other purpose.  She spoke to him then from behind that helm confirming it was a female.
/OOC You rezzed him, healed him, prayed often, asked me to donate to your church, and were dressed like a cleric.  As far as Slate knows...YOU ARE A CLERIC!!!   I must admit...he was wondering about the sword though.  He just figured you had a liberal religion :p

Again, hope you stay and try the server again cause I can really see you fit here with your roleplaying (you sneaking in a "dwarf way" still makes me chuckle heh), just dont mind the levels much

I am giving it another chance.... now that I know a little more.  Reading what everyone else wrote above and below also helps me to understand a little more of what is going on.  I must admit though that I can only play for limited time per week (about 4 hours total)...so I DO normally like to just run out and slay the bad guys.  I put that into my dwarfs mentality.  He is very impatient.

OH....before you mentioned "sneaking" he had never tried it.  You may have started something

That didnt take too long ~

Sorry, but I am afraid this server is not for me.  I played for 2 of my 4 precious playing hours and only made 2 levels.  The first guy I came across either a) didnt understand english or b) doesnt like to help newbs.  He wouldnt answer any of my questions and when I told him I was new to the server his response was

 *shrugs*
relevance?


needless to say..I just turned around and ran off the screen.

I went out the main gate and took a left at the first turn and zoned.  I went down that road to a barn and took the right turn.  I followed it off the screen and zoned.  I came to a zone with a hill on the left, a hill on the right, and a path going between them.  On the right hill was a skunk.  I "conned" him and it said he was overpowering.  So I started up the hill on the left with the intention of going around the skunk on the right hill.  When I got to the top of the hill a freaking GRIFFON attacked me.  I made it back to the zone and actually made it through the zone with a sliver of life left.  When I came through the zone..the griffon was waiting on me and *gobble* ...he snacked on Dwarf ~  My first death.

I respawned and was out looking around again when I had a kobold spawn on me.  Now even a first level fighter should be able to kill 3 kobolds and not lose half of his hitpoints unless he is having terrible rolls.... but this wasnt a real kobold.  This was a hill giant polymorphed into a kobold skin.  I did lots of damage and the dang thing didnt die...but I did!  My second death.
As I sat there cussing at the sceen a person happens to run by and aggros the kobold/giant.  It does a lot of damage to her but she kills it.  Then she rezzes me!!!  Woot!  a Cleric!
So I role play with her for 20 minutes and she finally decides to help me out with a quest to get a magic branch from some kobolds.  She tells me /ooc she is 7th level and answers lots of my questions.  Her name was Iz.  It was actually much longer than that ...something like IzthisnamelongenoughgeeIdontthinkso.  I dunno...she said to call her Iz ~

So after 20 minutes of roleplaying "preparing" for the combat we go to the next zone and aggro 2 hill giants and a fire giant.  Oops..I mean 3 kobolds.  Long story short ... I die again.  She rezzes me.  She suggests I quit dieing.  I tell her I'll think about it ~

Anyhow, those 3 didnt have the magic stick.  She said we needed to hit their camp for the magic stick.

Away we go ....

More role playing to get ready and then we pounce on the sentry.  Ok..I am doing better... I actually survive a fight.... and LVL!  Woohoo!  Hitpoints! and Cleave!

So we move around to take a 3 spawn.  She takes out two while I "distract" the third one.  Me and this 3rd one have a real tough fight.  It is Ray Charles vs Stevie Wonder.  I am watching the numbers go scrolling by on my screen.  I have never seen so many 1's 2's or 3's before.  *whiff* *whiff* *whiff*  *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *whiff* *HIT* OMG!  a hit.  Meanwhile, Iz has both of hers killed, looted, sharpened her sword, polished her armor, taken a nap, has made a sandwich, and is sitting under a shade tree watching.  I finally kill it and we move to the next spawn.  I think I died again there...cant remember now....(death does that to ya ~)

Finally, we kill the right guy and get the magic stick.  We do a full military withdrawal to the exit (which is to say we tucked our armored skirts up and ran like little girls).

She tells me go ahead and talk to the Captain and that she has to go.  /gasp NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

My Guardian Angel!  NOooooooo.  /sob

Oh well, I do the turn in and level!  Yay! More hitpoints and Dodge!  I also got a bag that I cant use until level 5.  Wheee.

So I go back out and run around looking for something a 3rd level fighting can kill.  Maybe a cricket or a grasshopper.
I run around and find an Ogre.  I think to myself …holy !  An Ogre!  After fighting killer kobolds I am picturing an M1A1 Abrams tank in front of me.  To my amazement this was an actual Ogre.  I kill it.  Ok…now I am feeling more Dwarfly.  Maybe those kobolds weren’t too bad… maybe my rolls were just terrible.

I run into a bard and we group up.  He says he will show me around after we role play for 10 minutes or so.  We go through some zones and he is showing me around and suddenly we come across a lone archer kobold.  It’s just one little kobold right?  Wrong.  This one is a polymorphed Red dragon.  This stupid archer kobold kills us each 4 times.  I decide right then and there that this server isn’t for me.

For Iz and the bard who tried to help me … Thank you very much !
To the rest of you…good luck with your polymorphed monsters.

I do not understand the map. O.o
http://nwn.layonara.com/images/Dregar.jpg

I am trying to fix up my character description and come up with a place for my character to be from and I was looking for the city of Waysend.  I have never logged into the server and thus have no clue where it is.  I am sure all of you know..but can you help a newb out please.  Has Waysend been renamed ? or was some other city renamed to Waysend?  I cannot get my reader to zoom in close enough to read that little text above the map scale...it probably says Waysend is Sloren (bah..cant even make that word out on the map....).

sorry to be so newbie...but I am into maps (being a surveyor and all ~)

thanks for the non-flaming helpfull reply posts :p

Introduce Yourself / Greetings !

« on: April 11, 2007, 02:07:21 pm »

Greetings to you!

I am ready to try a RP server.  I have been friends with Rowana and Eorendil for quite a few yeards and Row finally talked me into trying this server.

I prefer to play fighter types..and have created the persona for a vicious dwarf named Slate ShieldCrusher.  Slate pretty much thinks he can depopulate whole regions if he gets some usefull accomplices.  Just dont get in front of him...

Hope to see you all in the game once I am approved for participation.
