After taking a year and a half break from the Neverwinter Nights community I am proud to announce that 0 - THE UNDERDARK is back in business and is looking to rebuild both its player and developer bases.
0 - THE UNDERDARK is a hugely expansive persistent world with an intricate, slowly developing plot, plenty of hack-and-slash, and several puzzles thrown in for good measure.
The concept of the module is to emulate the best parts of MMORPGs and minimize the worst parts. Areas are large, complex, and detailed to the fullest extent of the Neverwinter Nights (Aurora) engine, however they are not so large as to make traveling a repetitive inconvenience. Like in most online roleplaying games, party play is emphasized in order to promote a social gaming experience. Neverwinter Nights and Dungeons & Dragons are, afterall, all about playing and having a good time with other people. To this end, quests are difficult and monsters often fight in balanced, well-organized groups very similar to ones formed by players. Overcoming them will absolutely require teaming up with other players, fortunately, unlike most other servers, parties don't split the experience earned but rather receive an experience bonus that increases in proportion to the size of your group.
Our rules philosophy is simple: don't do anything you wouldn't want the DMs to catch you doing. Use your common sense and things will go very smoothlya--after being active for 2 years we only ever had to discipline a player on one occasion.
As far as PvP goes, the server is in Party PvP mode. Evil characters are welcome and all players are free to attack one another outside of the confines of town. Of course, you can always TRY to assault someone in town, but I wouldn't recommend doing so within earshot of the guards. We simply ask that you have a reason for killing another player and only go after weaker individuals if they're really asking for it. Homicidal maniacs will be treated as such and may be maimed, killed, incarcerated, or any combination of the three.
Roleplaying is certainly welcome in 0 - THE UNDERDARK, however it is not enforced. We believe that all players should play the game as they see fit. The DMs do occasionally award experience bonuses for particularly outstanding displays of roleplaying, though.
Some more features of the module:
-Over 160 areas
-Subraces
-Deity system
-Custom XP system
-Custom AI system
-Player housing
-Cinematic cutscenes
-4 major cities to explore
-Thousands of unique items
-Thousands of custom scripts
-Dozens of comprehensive quests and mission
-NEW CONTENT ADDED EVERY SINGLE DAY
