Good to hear from an ancient player, I recently just came back myself and started playing again and doing well.

Thanks for the replies. Do silverdragonams, or arkon still play? I saw some recent posts from them not too long ago. I may install NWN again, and see if I can still role play. Probably done being evil, so I shouldn't piss to many people off lol.

They are both around yes, thought I am not sure if SD still plays - she's head DM here tho, so we still bug her a lot.
You do need to come and play a good character. Then you can come join the rest of us whenever we smite Undead Grimm.

Still around. Still a heathen.
Working a lot these days, so I don't have much time to play. I lurk in IRC when I can, feel free to stop in and say hi.

Hi! Welcome back! =D
Look for the #Hala channel in the Stratics network...
This post should give you more info, I think. =)

Here I am, back on hala... I have all my characters! Only problem I'm having is performance related. Maybe someone with a newer system knows an easy solution to this.
I'm getting 10-20 fps in game. Resolution and graphics settings make little to no difference. I already tried disabling sound, and that made no difference.
System Specs...
Windows 7 64-bit service pack 1
AMD 1100t 6 core processor OC'd 3.8ghz per core
8 gigs gskill DDR3 2000 ram
Asus Crosshair IV mobo
Geforce GTX 570 video card.

Hi hi!
Still around-ish....
Like so many, real-life takes it's toll. Still try to check in as much as possible though!

I musn't be nerdy enough... everytime I see "fps" I think of the French acronym for sun protection factor.
Had to look it up. =D

I know NWN has issues with some graphics drivers. I had to downgrade the driver on my old card to get proper results around water.

You can remodel cloaks in the Tailor's shops in Mirtho and elsewhere. Probably the best tactic is to buy a cheap cloak and style that to your liking first to see if it works, rather than spend lots of gold remodeling an expensive one.
