[Silentblade]

I should be getting on here soon. I logged in once and had to do some other things. I really want to get into the PvP thing cause I have got enough training in PvM. It's a whole diffrent ball game when your fighting against an real person. Any help on builds would be nice.

[Genocide]

Ya know... getting a few players here an there is cool but not really. We need freakin KILLERS. Not fodder. I login when no one is on and roll up characters for each team to help with team numbers. No matter what I make...no matter what class. These players get killed by it...I even give some of em a chance....2 on 1 sometimes and I still somehow kill them both. With a non-magic user too. I even try to help people with strategy to KILL me. I'm at the end of my rope here. I don't wish to work on or improve the module anymore....why...no reason to do so...no one is playing the CURRENT version. I already feel a little like the 100+ hours I put into the mod is my time being wasted. Sure I learned some stuff about coding, and sure some people have enjoyed it, but I could have put the time into a Single player module and at least count the downloads.

Last night I saw a guy make like 8 characters to attempt to kill the same one I was using the entire time, instead of him trying to find ways to use the one he had in the first place. He spent 20 mins or more making a character, I kill it, he quits and starts a new one. No no..not refining the previous one, but a whole NEW class structure. To try to help to mod gain more players, my dumbass waited there until he finally exhausted his class combos and quit for good, haven't seen him since.

I don't even see Bounty loggin that much time anymore. I'm tired....really guys..I'm tired of fighting Almuric with the many characters he and I both have every day until someone shows...or worse...after we login, they all leave and its just us two left. EVEN worse, the characters we play with are brand new on the same level as the others there. He kills me I kill him...gets old more than fast.

If stuff don't change soon, I'll just hang out until Hordes is released. I'm wasting my time playing more than the players do. I really wish I could just login as DM and watch...and late at night when the crowd is low become a player.

I don't what to tell you. You tried team size, you gave them more levels, now ure thinking about putting monsters into a PvP module. Players don't want balance. They want the ability to be able to kill another player..or scores of players over and over without dying. There is not ALMIGHTY powerful character than cannot be killed by another, somewhere along the way...someplace they played, they "owned" and cannot seem to get the same success on EB, so they leave. Give em 500000 gold, so they can totally outfit every slot at startup. Give em levels to 15..then we can sit and wait 45 mins for them to make new characters cuz the old one they JUST made died just once.

I dunno man, I'm too frustrated to say anything positive about the current crop of inhabitants of EB. We just don't have enough players there now...or these scrubs wouldn't bother me so much, they would be in the background with 6-7 players on a team and no one would care what happened to them.

Yah I can see how you are feeling. EB has a much more customized setting to it but people do not see it. THey just want to get to max lvl and kill. The servers that let you get to lvl 20 right a way are definately a long wait to get fighting. They don't want to build a char then fight with it and then tweak it and see what happens next. THey just get upset and leave. Or they start a new ne and you are sitting there waiting. No biggee as far as waiting, but this takes time. I got on last night and waited for whatsisname to create a char then we fought some battles and he was saying his build was working. When I killed him he had to change a few things so I waited and we fought some more, then you and Al showed up and I had to leave. If my hours of ops werent so screwed up I would be there more but I have to just jump on when I can. Look at the time I am writing this. 6:30AM! ANd I have already been on for a couple of hours working on websites. I think that it is all about the time factor. I get on when I can and so does everyone else. It's just some people are more patient than others. PvP is a trial and error game. When you have something that works you stick with it then try a different char build and see what happens. Most people I guess are just impatient, or, they do not have the time to trial and error. And remember EB has only been out there for a short time and I have seen alot of fresh people coming in. Just not many staying or returning. As far as Al has raised the roof on EB, I think it should stay where it is at. I thought more gold would be nice for cetain classses to take advantage of armor, but the extra levels are nice. Anything more would make it too easy.

This is PvP and maybe most people are too much in a hurry.

I was on for a short time yesterday, but then i had to leave as RL stuff came up, i was on in the week when bodom and TFK_Ishamael, was on and had a good time ISH gave me a few tips to help me ( as we all know i suck at pvp ) so i will be on again this weekend as long as nothing in RL pops up.

[Bounty Hunter]

I have time. More then enough. But I haven´t logged on EB in 7 days now. And I wrote that I woulnd´t. Why? I´m tired of noob whining. I´m tired of being afraid to lvl. I´m tired of playing a lot and then be forced to make a low char cause others are making tons of them and never lvl.
No need to talk about EB is great. I'm telling everyone I meet how great it is but it is not helping. Why? Cause of noobs that don´t want to try. No offence to anyone.
EB have the worst PVP players of all PVP mods. And it is the best PVP mod. And what do I mean with noob? Not the player that joing PVP for the first time. Not a player that have played few times but is not good at it. But the player that is making new char as soon as he get killed. Over and over again.
I kill someone with my test build. And he leave or go and make another char. What would happen if I joined with my rogue (that was lvl 11 before the raise in start lvl). I stoped having fun on EB. I would fight Al, or Geno or Sammer 1 on 1 all the time. I kill sometimes and they kill sometimes. But after 10-15 minutes both get tired.
Ithron it have nothing with times to do. There is almost never players on EB. I see 2-3 players on. But I will not join. I will end up fighting Geno or Al or chase away players. I have spend soooooo much time baby sitting the server and being the only one (or with Geno) waiting for player to come. Those that did come left soon after to make new chars or never came back.
Now I play on Realms of Trinity Delta. It is a NS twin server but at least have new areas. I have played there alone since I joined. Never got any party help. It is gear based server like NS ans my gear suck. It is all I hate on server. And I die a lot but right now still have more fun then on EB. No whining and I can do what I want.
If you guys need help and I can help in any way just say. You know that I will be there. But don´t expect me to join the server with 2-3 players on that will leave as soon as they die. I didn´t even level up my other chars to 12 sine the new mod got up. Didn´t see any need for it. No matter what day or time EB is alweys low on players. And it is a shame. It is a BEST mod out here.

[Genocide]

Even Sammer is starting to login less and less there.

Hey Mr. server admin. Goto NWVault and advertise the mod there. Put it up as a new module but no link for downloading. Make sure you give IP and web address. AND you can advertise it in the Persistant world section too.


NWvault is probably visited more than bioware by NWN gamers.

I've checked the server 4x today with only seeing one player besides me there.

Oh well, I just got a hold of Knights of the Old Republic, that ought to keep me busy for a little under a week.


I do have one idea about advertising the server. Search for NWN guilds or clans and join every one of their forums and place an AD on everyone.

Thats where your elite combat peeps are, try that.
back to the Star Wars Universe for me.

Somehow, in Geno's speech, I saw a reference to me ... but anyway, no, that's not why I don't play there. I don't play there because I don't have the same time to invest into gaming... and with the little time I have, I want to get the most out of it... and lvling and buffing on a PvP server in order to fight with my none or possible one partner against one or two enemies isn't the most productive use of that time.

Btw Geno, I beat it in 3 days, I did almost all of the sidequests too... this is also with the addition of school, homework, marching band, and private lessons...

The trials and tribulations of mod making guys. You should be seeing a lot more people coming in as the server population in Gods has dropped. Which should be a god send to you guys, especially seeing as I'm debating whether I"m going to keep mod making or give it up. I have several fixes for v5 coming to bring the population back and I know they are waiting for it, but after a year and a half of working on a mod, I think I'm tired of it. Like I said, I'm not sure yet, but it's heavy on my mind to give it up and pass the torch on to someone that wants to keep Gods alive. If you get any of the Gods regulars on your server, treat them well

[Almuric]

Well Hannibal we had a good crowd the first 2 weeks or so that the mod was up and even had alot of the GODS regulars stop in to take a look and game a little. However, we had a little period of too much death magic and instadeath and all the players left. I've noticed slight decline in players on your server, but they havent really come here.

BTW, on a side note.....where is Pez? I was looking for him and cant seem to find him.
