I would never trust the chest with anything important.

I lost a +2 Rapier, +5 Vampiric Regen from the chest two years ago on BK2. It was the first nice item I found. I begged and moaned but never got it back.

This is still a beta server of sorts. Driller is still actively tweaking his world, and we all seeing the subtle changes. He has been doing this server running thing for a while. He reads the forum and he considers. Sometimes he likes the ideas suggested and sometimes he does not; he seems to act ac...

I have been playing NWN now for a long time, as have some of you, I am sure, and having to travel by land back to town in order to sell items and restock arrows has been kind of standard. Any working portal system is a blessing; the magic is powerful and should be expensive. And we still have the mo...

Disarm sounds fun until a rare or expensive magical weapon is lost. It will happen. The server will crash, the item will be put somewhere where it cannot be retrieved, so on and so forth.

I must confess, at level 13, I was chopped down by one Minotaur last night. I had him near death, but I ended up being nearer to death than he was. I also hacked on the troll leader for a while, but I was more than half dead when he was maybe 10% down at best--more likely 5%--and because I saw where...

Too hard compared to what? Perhaps some areas are too easy. It all depends on the vision of the creator. If this is a low magic tough monster world, that is more than balanced by the use of town portal scrolls and other portal systems.

I was going to post about trolls myself. Fire or acid is not needed to kill them. I have been avoiding them because I did not have any fire, but I found some--not Gank's Spear--and so I go to kill one, and behold, I do not need to switch to a fire or acid weapon. On BK2 before, fire or acid was need...

I thought I would start a thread about this, for two of the last quest items I have found have missing textures. There is no image for the item, just a square with rainbow colors.

Ice Dragon Head.
Bugbear Chief Head.

If an area like you are wanting does not exist, that does not mean that it has to. Who has not chipped away at some levels, earning 10-20 xp at a time--or less--just to get powerful enough to survive and thrive in tougher areas? It just sounds like players are wanting to have their cake and eat it t...

I kind of just wanted to know if UMD has been removed from the server before I waste any more points there. I think I might need 15 points to do what I thought I could do with 10. If UMD is not messed with on your end, then I will see if 15 does the trick upon my next level. 15 allows me to use the ...

I have learned that when I am running for my life and reach a portal (not a town portal), do not click on Blackstone Keep. I came out dead on the other side, and even though there was a cleric in my party that can raise dead, he was unable to raise me because of the magic wards in the keep. I feel l...

OK, to add more fuel to the fire, I have a couple more questions to ask about the ECL thing. If you are a +3 ECL, does that mean that you can only adventure with players two levels lower than you but seven levels higher than you? Also, in terms of treasure drops, I bet you would hardly get anything ...

I have a UMD score of 10, but I cannot even make an attempt at casting a 1st level wizard spell. I assume UMD is not working properly.

This is good to know. I was about to respawn, for I had just leveled, but now I might pester a friend to pay up the gold to revive me.

It was super stable all day yesterday and Saturday.
