Hi everyone, Unfortunately, we've been seeing a significant drop in in-game activity over the past weeks. We've spent some time evaluating our prospects, our own leadership's interest in Neverwinter, and the experience that we're currently able (or perhaps unable) to offer new members. After much deliberation, we've…
Yikes, what a week! Thanks to everyone who has expressed interest so far. We're currently a bit swamped with applications, so please forgive us if things take a little longer than the promised 48 hours. It doesn't look like we'll actually fall behind, or at least not any more so than we currently have, but just in…
For the sake of reusing existing assets and also tweaking layouts, I'd first like to see custom interiors using styles available on prefab maps. This includes (though the list isn't complete): * Castle (Castle Never, Plaguetower, etc.) * Volcanic Dungeon * Other natural-style caverns (ice caves, forest caves with tree…
Just off the top of my head... Skin Color / Tattoo Color / Facial Hair (color & style) settings One of the things that really hampers my creating NPCs is the fact that it isn't possible to adjust their skin color, tattoo colors, or facial hair styles / colors independently of whatever is premade for them. I'm not sure why…
For those interested in getting a feel for our roleplay, we've begun work on the various forum threads that handle each new member's introduction to the guild. You can check those out on our Stories & Campaigns forum. We also have a massive thread planned for the lead-in to launch, so I'll be sure to announce that here for…
Really glad to see how quickly the community has grown, and that was before today's big announcement! While I personally won't be hosting an event for the next beta weekend due to the limitations on access and the sudden pre-open-beta crunch period, there's certainly plenty of discussion to crop up as the game nears it's…
Attention to those who registered more than a month ago without applying: you may find that your log-in no longer exists! We've begun to clear out any registrations that have lingered for more than 30 days. Sorry! Also hello, Eclipsen! Ainilome pretty much covered all the bases above, but forgot to mention this thread…
Thanks, Anipuma. It was great getting to know you and the other guild leaders present during last month's meeting. Dark Star will be there again this month and I look forward to seeing new faces! For the curious, this is a lot more getting to know one another and exploring ideas than it is politicking, so despite being a…
A bit delayed, but here's our event announcement for this weekend! OOC Details: When: Saturday, March 23rd, from 8pm eastern until whenever things die down! Where: The Moonstone Mask. We're not expecting the Mask to divide up into multiple channels, but if it happens we'll update our location in this thread. More Details:…
Thanks, Gov! It was great sitting down with you and the others last weekend, can't wait to get in game and finally see how everything falls together. In other news, I'm putting the finishing touches on this weekend's event plans, so anyone looking for another excuse to roleplay during the beta should keep their eyes on…
Updated the original post with a new resource, our roleplaying guidelines and character building tips! If you're a new roleplayer looking for some advice on where to begin, or are a veteran who just wants to get a feel for our style and expectations, this is a great place to start.
Thanks to everyone who showed up tonight, whether to stop by and say hello or just to stand off on a ledge and observe. :cool: This was an opportunity for us to stretch our RP legs in Forgotten Realms and experiment with new and old characters alike, so it was great to have some additional characters thrown into the mix to…
Announcing our presence in Beta Weekend #2! OOC Details: When: Saturday, March 9th, from 8pm to Midnight Eastern time. Where: Channel 14 - The fountain just south of the Hall of Justice in Protector's Enclave, nestled between the stairways and directly below the statue. Not the large circular fountain further south. More…
Big welcome to our newest members, Loptr and trenchtownrock! With the beta weekend coming up, we're discussing our plans and potential events. If you've been on the fence about applying, this will be your chance to get to know us directly both OOCly and ICly, so keep an eye out for an announcement later tonight. :cool:
You mean I can't just take any song I normally listen to and slap some footage on it? There goes my plan for Friday's "Beta Weekend 2" trailer set to Rebecca Black...:cool:
A bit late to the party, but here we go: Dark Star Syndicate Guild Leader: AstralEcho Guild Contact: AstralEcho (@astralecho), Ainilome (@ainilome1), Selien (@selcarian), Antyr (@Rilendyr) Guild Website: http://darkstar-guild.com Guild Currently Recruiting: All classes, roleplayers preferred, 18+ Current Guild Size: 14…
Great interview guys! Some really good nuggets of information in there, I know it helped to answer a few of my questions. I'd love to volunteer myself for alpha testing as well. I'm a hobbyist game designer / programmer with roots in Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2. I haven't worked with STO's foundry yet, but I spent a good…
For anyone else who was confused by the wording in the FAQ as to whether or not HotN players would have access to vanilla Drow during the 60-day period, or only Menzo renegades, I asked Sominator about this on Twitter. Everyone has to wait for Vanilla Drow, HotN players included. So the only Drow that will be available at…
