Read about Vives on LON and since Aria was so kind as to visit my site I thought I would return the favor. Hey :D
Looks like a nice place you got here |

:D Welcome and feel free to browse around, or drop by or IRC room setup in [color=blue:9123fb59a7]irc.supajesus.org[/color:9123fb59a7] channel [color=darkred:9123fb59a7]#vives[/color:9123fb59a7]. To others... Mez works on another NeverwinterNights world called Eldaria, their site can be found [url=http://www.eldaria.com/]here[/url]. I'm sure we'd have much to learn from one another.
Ciao, |

Welcome Mezlabor to vives!
Please feel free if you want to head on in-game or ask any questions etc about our World. Even pop into irc for a chat :D
I personally would like to see more of a community spirit between Modules and Persistent Worlds so it is great to hear from you. I'll be sure to wing over and test out Eldaria at some stage.
Cheers

| hey thanks you guys. I too would like to see more cooperation between pws. Let me remind you I am working on a pw but I dont see other pws as competion. My world is vastly different from vives. But already I have seen things around here I am interested in . And I myself will need a place to be a player :D not a dm/admin. Since my server is setup like vives in a sense that it will move through a story arc. For me playing wont be a whole lot of fun because I know whats being planned. (plus I have no ilusions I'll get to play as soon I sign in I know I'll have players asking me to do dm stuff :D )I definetly want to see this place. I told ari ealier I am interested in how you guys managed to pull off non combat quests. and your xp system looks very intriguing. But I dont wanna rip off your innovations either ;) |

Hey there Once again! :D
We are only too willing to discuss and bang heads together on various ideas. The XP thing is largely due to the fact that every area within vives carries an area description which is fired for the player once they enter the area. This also carries with it some xp for merely "discovering" said area, but the xp is a once only shot only as we link it persistently to our Databse that Quietus built for us.
Xp is also possibly gained through successfully crafting int he tradeskill system we use, talking to some NPC's (very small rewards on occasion), Rangers spotting tracks or people noticing other hidden things, picking locks and disabling traps for rogues and loads of other stuff.
Theoretically it would be possible to advance to a very high level without actually fighting anything! (although extremely unlikely). We are working on any number of Quests too at present, and are trying to introduce as many non-combat based ones as we can, whilst giving as many ways to complete it as possible. e.g. one might ask you to obtain an object, this could then be done by pickpocketing or killing the said npc.
Anyway, enough waffle from me. Hope to chat with you soon! :D
Cheers

Hint hint: multiple accounts :D
Our XP system is built upon the cool QNX-QDB, the cool persistent system mister cool Quietus so coolly wrote for us. *sits back and watch the smug look on Q's face* We'd like to eventually publish it for the more general public as well. If you're interested in any code-sniplets of our creation feel free to ask, some of them are simple enough to package up for the go.
BTW, I'm sent you a PM with server password and IP included. You can check your PM by going to the left hand navigation bar.[/color:0666c08399][/i:0666c08399] |
