Talk:The Way Inn

I will have to say this is an excellent Persistent World. The Dm staff, are all European, though the primary server Language is English as noted. The Player base is growing weekly, though some more folks from the Left hand side of the Atlantic Ocean would be nice (That is starting to happen).

The Developers have gone out of their way to provide a Persistent World, with excruciating detail to balance. Their Methodology is certainly, "DUNGEON MASTER!", not "Dungeon May I?", and the level of respect that they treat all their players with, is second to none, and by far, this is one of the best servers I have seen.

The Forums are active and bustling, no one is immediately jumping off the deep end if there is some venting, the "Purity Police" don't immediately lock every thread that strays off course for a bit, and the Ideas are rich and flowing. It is a stunning blend, of attention to detail and balance, combined with respect for a player base but also, a firm authority that is needed when producing a persistent Product, that strives to best Emulate Dungeons and Dragons, not just some glitzy computer game MMO set up.

Being a new server, it's a work in progress. However; it is a GIGANTIC work in progress, amply demonstrating that NwN1, still has considerable legs, as one can spend hours just wandering around looking at the scenery.

There is no Shortage of anything to do, cannon is bent where needed, or enforced strictly as well. The DM's, though primarily of a European time zone, Are extremely active, approachable, and will even field tells and such, when NOT having their DM hat on. While it is THEIR world, they have been very generous of many Player driven plots, and have handled sticky situation (as commonly develop in computer venues) with exceptional professionalism.

While I personally, come out of the old HCR rules venues, and The Way Inn, is a bit more, Friendly, it's balance point is so well maintained, I don't mind the more, light touch. There IS repercussion though, but it's Balanced with the risk, and the reward.

Teamwork is encouraged, in fact, needed to advance in goals and gains. XP seems low to some but those of us used to PnP, it's very generous, and easy to come by. It can also be easy to lose, but from 1st to 5th level, you can respawn all you want. After 5th though, it's spell only. This is all in addition to anything the staff decides to put in motion as well.

So, if you are bored, or looking for something new, or just miss the old weekend DnD game, I can't say enough good things about the place. Give it a shot, even if it's just to swing in, and get Trampled by Williams Horse.
