Last Man Standing ?

Post by TropicOfCancer »

So no new topics and no active topics on the forums in over a week? I log on and see no one around but a couple surfers ? looks like rain . I'd say Driller turn the drop script not up to ten..but eleven . I stand by what I said years ago , I'd rather play on a good server with two players than a shitty one with sixty . If it's the beginning of the end then release the kraken man ! unlock every door in the place ,and set the keep back to full PvP . Let the forgies fall like 05' . Crack the cap off some of that nasty Tennesse charcoal whiskey and go nuts with the toolset !

Really, shh. Ok then, same old stories. NWN is an old game, hard to find in store, hard to get the multi-players running if you have never done it (finding the CEP and the update and whatnot), the new players generation is looking for top notch graphs which NWN doesn't have obviously, the old players are hmmm older now too, with a family, demending jobs, etc, etc...

If you have a look on all the servers available, you will easely notice that only a handfull got more then a dozen constant players..

Must i elaborate more on the subject?

Biggest and probably only problem I had with BSK.

This is a stumbling block, felt like I needed a degree in computers to get in awhile ago, well I did it but it was pretty awkward and I half knew what I was doing.

Having said I think there is a guide for it here, and that's good, it's just such a process - in the age of consoles.

NWN is an old game, hard to find in store,
I actually found plenty of copies of NWN1 on Amazon ... most costing less than the actual shipping.
hard to get the multi-players running if you have never done it (finding the CEP and the update and whatnot),
CEP is on plenty of sites ... and as long as you follow the instructions ... it's easy to install and get running (Google 'NWN1 CEP' ... easy as pie)
the new players generation is looking for top notch graphs which NWN doesn't have obviously, the old players are hmmm older now too, with a family, demending jobs, etc, etc...
If they want fancy graphics then that's their choice ... I personally prefer better gameplay, and yes .. we do all have real lives to live ... bills don't pay themselves.

If you have a look on all the servers available, you will easely notice that only a handfull got more then a dozen constant players..
Most of them haven't been around as long as BSK, and yes ... most are empty. So everyone else is suffering not just BSK.

OK so we've heard the old news ... Are you going to sit around being forum jockeys .. or are you actually going to play on BSK like the loyal few? Having just 2 or 3 players on a server can attract more.

Hmm *look around* WTF is my forum jockey hat, ah there :p
I'm the administrator of another server, when i have time to waste, i go on there normally.
But i do check out BSK server 2 or 3 times every day but no friends around = me not playing, simple as that!

I'm with Gabe on this..I'd rather run round Blackstone empty than, say, Newcastle (shock) full.

On account of not every one of them was insane. Some were downright huggable.

I don't remember the details of my banning over there, but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with Dan-O, Roland, Marko, and some booze. I do miss the glory days.
