IGN Insider Error Message [Post A Comment] - Print News | Mail News If you try and download a file and get an message saying you need to join IGN Insider, please note that's a poor error message when it should be saying that the file is not found, or the server is overloaded, etc.. I'm trying to get that changed and hopefully it will be done Monday when I expect the few broken files will be resolved as well. Please don't join Insider expecting to get the files as that won't help. Sorry for the confusion.

Argh! Pixel Shader 2.0 video card needed? Yes, it absolutely does require pixel shader 2.0 as a "minimum". However, that's in the FAQ I believe. Please read the FAQ. Thanks.

Ravenloft - Prisoners of the Mist (Persistent World / Announcement)
Ravenloft � Prisoners of the Mist, is a new persistant world that has been developed for Neverwinter Nights by our staff based on the Ravenloft campaign setting. The project has been in development for nearly two years by a dedicated staff of roleplayers and fans of the pen and paper roleplaying game. Many of the aspects of the game have been brought to life by our excellent team of scripters, builders and general developers using custom content developed specifically for this project. The project will go live for the general public on the 28th of October, the weekend of Halloween.

Realm of Eytheria (CEP-1.52 Requires Community Expansion Project)
The Realm of Eytheria is a relatively new module created by myself and my small building team. The module is young and fairly new, consisting of about 160 areas filled with content and constantly growing. The focus is roleplay, story, and adventuring. We've also built in a lot of new and unique features:
- Relatively new server with fresh, sometimes quirky adventure areas
- Persistent Quest Journal. If you start a quest and have to log off, even days later your quest journal will update when you log on with our quest progress.
- Support for "marginalized" classes, including druids, harper scouts and bards, social skills, and roleplaying tools
- Custom XP system that encourages Party play without penalizing solo players
- Good and evil alignment and faction support.
- Over 100 new and unique pieces of armor and weapons to find.
We operate on a relatively low power scale on Eytheria:
- The level cap is currently 20.
- Magic items of power are difficult but rewarding to find.
- We use a custom level restriction system to prevent player twinking and keeping things fair and balanced.
- To lend to our roleplaying environment, we do not support powergaming and powerbuilding, and the Weapon Master class is removed from the server.
Our content includes a lot of neat and fun adventuring opportunities:
- Gemriver Village, a village entirely comprised of halflings and smallfolk! The dialogues and characters of Gemriver are perhaps the best fleshed out and most fun anywhere I've seen.
- The City of Sidon: Ruled under the Iron Fist of the CHurch of Malefar, Sidon presents a lot of opportunity. You can serve the city by taking quests, or even join the city guards and enforce the law! It also has a lot of rules, like no bared weapons in the city, no breaking and entering, and stiff jail sentences and fines for lawbreakers.
- Griffin's Tail: A new, fledgling city borne off the South Bay. A haven for freedom and peace-loving peoples, they hope to someday challenge the totalitarian authority of Sidon.

Aeons of Discord (Requires All Expansions (SoU & HotU & CEP))
A gathering of players to venture into the near complete Aeons of Discord gaming experience. This module has been worked on for nearly half a year before it's actual release and has been in beta testing for nearly two months. Already we have a building player base.
Aeons of Discord takes place in the world of Euora, a land of strife between good and evil. The good realm of Valaina is at war with the evil realm of Manar. Players may join either faction (or join the faction of Serenia, neutral) and fight for the lands of Euora.

Quick Pros :Stunning visuals, entertaining conversations, engaging plot with a twist
Quick Cons :Unable to reduce mini map to a smaller size. Relies on the player having some knowledge of the Greyhawk setting
Blackwall Keep is under threat from the Goblinette Queen and her minions. You are chosen with one other (your henchman) to eradicate the threat from the Goblin Queen and return with her head as proof. A few of the people around you think you are unworthy, untried, untested or just plain cowardly. Your commander however thinks otherwise - perhaps that is why he saved your life back in the Mistmarsh at the last battle?

Quick Pros :Unique creepy atmosphere created by outstanding visuals and sounds
Quick Cons :Confusing game play layered with obscure puzzles and seemingly random events
Outstanding visuals and sounds are offset by confusing and frustrating game-play. In particular, I was frustrated by the game's overly obscure puzzles, and infuriated by the unkillable foes.

World of Raathi by Jesterb769
Raathi is a unique roleplaying experience. It's structure is designed to insure that the creative talents of the players are used to the fullest to make a rich and lively world. The Dm staff is rotational and voted on from the players periodically. Changes in server rules are also voted on. Characters are encouraged to participate in the guilds and councils that decide the fate of the free peoples. Dm quests are designed to enrich the atmosphere of the world.
The roleplaying is intense and involving. The world is large with 400-500 areas. The setting is Jester's vision of a bleak world where the forces of humans and demi humans struggle to survive against all odds.
Raathi prides itself on having the right balance between anything goes and overstrict rules. Fun is first here. Providing players with a creative outlet is second. The community is close and friendly.
