Here's a thought for you oldfolk who have seen every question 1000x.

You don't have to make a comment on every thread on the boards!

Revelation, no doubt.

As NWN2 gets closer and closer, I think it would be an opportune time to rethink ALFA's stance on certain "dead horses". There are a few topics that have divided the community and it might actually be worth trying them out for size once NWN2 goes gold or has been released so we can at least determine if they have any merit through experience rather than knee jerk reaction. After all, the slate gets wiped clean with ALFA 2, right?

Nope. The stories and plots that lead up to NWN2 will continue. It's what is the bread and butter of this community. The story.

As for the PC's being wiped... looks like it will happen.

I think I'm getting this...its..its sarcasm.
Nope. I'm serious. Fuck the njubs - they're here for my entertainment, especially when they ask about rideable horses and whether they can play vampires.

Uh, I can accept that the history/story will remain the same, but what's the point on continuing the plots if none of the characters involved are PCs any more, and all the new PCs are level 1?

Either way, that shouldn't affect a degree of experimentation.

Best idear to date, Pouch some keen ALFAn and stuff them with the task.
I nomenate Cassiel with the velvet touch.
Blind eye tactic!?
The UnnBs will find a way to burn holes in the community if you don't ween them of tantalizing dead horse flesh. There is...somewhere...always a way to ruin things...just don't record all of them.

It was discussed and decided a while ago.

And why not create long term PCs? You're looking at a year before the game is actually released. Then I'd hope that the builders actually take their time and do it right, taking another 6 months for the first few modules to make it to beta 3. Then you've got a few more months after that. Even then I wouldn't be surprised if some of the ALFA live servers stay up even when ALFA 2 is live.

They will eventually all go away, but your character has to die or retire some time anyway.

Hmmmm lets see. Convert WoW currency to ALFA currency...hmmm...*crunches some numbers*

That'll be 540,000 gold, though if you go and get me 412 skeletons knuckles, 97 stinkweeds, kill 1047 rothide mages and 43257596845 rats, i can drop the price too 480,000 gold
