I think the Original is still live, but I have lost track of it recently. I gave the module and player vault to Calmeir a couple years ago. He'll have to let you know what the IP address is.
Meanwhile we are working hard on "Vives 2" (our working title as we come up with a proper name that isn't so "sequel-ish"). |

Sorry, a little late to this party. I am still hosting the rehashed original. Technically you can still get there by
calmeir.dyndns.org
but dyndns is going to be switching over to a pay only service, so I switched to no-ip. Therefor, the ip to reach the server is:
calmeir.no-ip.biz |

Will the original module ever be released? Given the lack of players, and the fact that there is so much in the gameworld that I've never seen or experienced, I'd love to see what is out there, and that's not likely to ever happen now, in game at least.
So with the roll out of Vives 2, I think it would be nice to see the original game put out there. |

We might be able to make that happen. I'll talk with the group and see what folks think.
Way back I had released the module quietly and a few folks got their hands on it. We could do that again. |

I believe this is the latest version of Vives.
This module was rewritten so that it would work on a standard home installation. This allowed us to share hosting duties and for us to share the module with anyone. So you don't have your old PC or the old database. But I believe the module still works fine otherwise. It was early in my NWN coding days so probably has bugs, but moving forward I won't be fixing them. The module worked fine for all the events we ran on it - which were a fair few.
I also salvaged all of the custom content some years back to a few online sites. The nexus still works:
Vives Refreshed on Neverwinter Nexus is the last survivor unless the old neverwinter vault comes back. We have not moved the Vives haks to the new neverwinter vault.
If using the nexus is problematic, I can upload the vives haks to my google drive and share it. Just let me know and I will do it.
You'll also want Project Q since that was the "refreshed" part of Vives Refreshed. I recently packaged up the latest build which we are using on Llyra (Vives 2's new name).
Project Q v2 pre-release as of 2014 june 26
You can also get Project Q's auto-downloader. It works a bit better going forward since it doesn't ever require you to download the whole thing when it is updated. You simply download the newest files.
I think that is everything you need for the old vives. And as Calmeir mentioned, the module is still live. As is oddly enough the forum we used for awhile.... http://vivesdd.lefora.com/ |

That's awesome Hene. Thank you. I'm going to spend some time exploring all the parts of the game world that captivated so much of my attention with reckless abandon now.
As a side note, I miss all of you guys, and the fun we had together. I'm happy to see Vives still out there, I just wish I could have been more a part of it in it's heyday. I hope all of you guys are doing as well as I am now. |

Glad you got the module.
Yes things are good on my end. I'm hoping that with all this work we are putting into the new module that lots of the old timers come and join us. I think we could have a real revival if people get into it again. |

| I'm not sure. There's been surprisingly a lot of people logging on this forum lately within the last month. I expected to see old posts and just read a few to reminisce. Maybe there's hope to play Vives again yet! |

Yes, we are still going. PDW put a server together for us and we have an alpha version of the module up. All the info is on the Llyra Development Blog's Essential Information page.
I expected to be in Beta by now, but the past two months have been hell on my free time and the next few promise to be similar, Nevertheless I am still plugging along on the module. Other than me we have two DMs who are kinda hanging around in the wings. So this project is alive.
I post updates on the development of the module when I can. http://vives2.dyndns.org/display/STAT/Llyra+Developer%27s+Blog
Had a window yesterday to add farmers, livestock, rabbits, and wildcats in the Dahkessan Heartland. Also may have finally solved the "everybody was kung-fu fighting their friends" bug. This is an NWN problem with factions that I had forgotten about, and involved an obscure solution that I forgot about. Implemented the solution and haven't had a battle royale experience since. Here's to hoping all the creatures don't kill each other over minor slights in the future. |

I am throwing together an adventure this weekend for any low level PC that you can scrape together.
Nov 22 6pm PST (Saturday)
I don't know what Chief or Random (our official DMs) are planning for you at other time slots, but I'll be running this show, and they were gabbing about doing something else this weekend too. Maybe just be around to harass you when you log in. But I will be throwing together some unique content together to throw at you. |
