Description
Anphillia's Dark Age is an evolving server built off the Anphillia 3.0 module. With a solid year's work put in it's mostly stable and ready to roll.

Anphillia is a Role Play and PvP module involving two player forts at war, the good aligned Cleaven and the Evil Axfell. The never ending goal of defeating the opposing fort involves scouring the island facing its beastly inhabitants to acquire craftable resources to win the arms race. In the process, expect to face terrible battles unlike any dime-a-dozen kiddie server where you always win, and always be on guard for the opposing fort. skirmishes and all-out battles are to be expected as both sides seek out rare materials!

Think: MMORPG comes to NWN with greater immersion, a smaller community, and DMs to keep things in order. A good game going can certainly become addictive.

Anphillia has certainly be done before though, so what's different?

-Every area will be rebuilt when all is said and done. Already both forts and every sub map has been rebuilt to exacting standards for immersion and quality. (Don't believe me? See the screen shots!) Roughly a score more areas have been rebuilt or added from scratch thus far using the latest CEP.

-Balanced PvP with as little change to the core system as is practical. There are spell changes, but I'm sticking to the concept that less is more. Spells generally match their old functions as closely as possible, and generally only spells with firm problems are altered. (Bigby's, Greater Missile Storm, Harm, etc.) Tweaks, not a rebuild of the entire system.

-The badly flawed "low magic" concept is dead, and I've aimed for a more standard level of magic for the FR setting. All CNR and loot items have been completely overhauled down to every last detail with equipment reaching +4 in power. Essentially the server's goal guideline are +1 per 5 PC levels. (+ to AC, enchantment, etc.) Stacking has been controlled through available items to prevent insanely high abilities, saves, skills, or other troublesome imbalances. Note that this doesn't mean "epic" equipment and levels, but a happy medium between the abusively paltry gear of 3.0 and the maxed out uber Anphillia servers running to level 40.

-Smarter rules, not harder rules. Rather than forbid soloing to prevent ninja looters, you'll have a tough time sneaking to any chest undetected. Why restrict players endlessly when a few keystrokes can solve the core problems cleanly? Micromanagement, haphazard and ineffective draconian rules, and sloppy work are out. To quote eyesolated, one of Anphillia's original builders, "if you can't script it, don't make it a rule". Indeed.

-Punks need not apply. A lot goes on the server, but not everything. Problem players will be removed if they arise. Good players deserve a pleasant server.

SCREENS

Toolset shot of Axfell's new fort. Keep on top, Battlehall of Tempus, mage's shop, inn, battlements, countless crafting shops, and fight pit on the left.


Toolset shot of Cleaven's new citadel. Keep on top, Temple to the lord of the elven gods, temple of Helm, Courthouse of Tyr, Temple of the Red Knight, countless crafting shops, mage's shop, docks, and sparring arena.


Toolset shot of Cleaven's Keep. Barracks on left, meeting hall top, bathhouse on the right, and revival hall on bottom. (Where PCs appear if respawning)


Toolset shot of Axfell's inner sanctum. Barracks at top-left, "rec room" at top-right, and temple of Vhaeraun sprawling across the bottom.


Axfell's rebuilt outer gate with CEP towers. Druid grove at top-left, shrine to not-nice gods at bottom, archers posted on right wall.


Toolset shot of Axfell's Battlehall of Tempus, including books on warfare to the left and training circle to the right.


Toolset shot of one of many new crafting shops. Cleaven's gem crafting store, to be exact.


Toolset shot of Cleaven's mage store, complete with numerous bizarre magical devices on display. Mage crafting shop up stairs on right.


Toolset shot of new area, "The Bloodroad". So named for being an unintended meeting ground between Axfells and Cleavens, the Bloodroad is the island's crossroads and home of the new Ranzington's outer gates. Ranzington has been moved to an island city covering two areas south of the Bloodroad.


Toolset shot of Axfell's new crypt. (Placables must be less numerous in heavy combat areas, just FYI) All foes in the crypt have been redone and regrouped, as is the goal of the entire island rebuild. Most monsters more closely match PnP designs in addition to having new tactics and abilities. Some sneak, some spot, some are more dangerous, others less so.


Some examples of new CNR armors, rebuilt from the ground up. All CNR has been refurbished with many new recipes added. (And even a new wand and rod crafting trade)


Some examples of the revamped CNR weapons. CNR gear now includes Masterwork, Cold Iron, and basic steel gear. A lot of expansion still in the works.


In game shot of Axfell's new meeting hall in Axfell Keep.


In game shot of Cleaven's revival hall, complete with vaguely familiar priests arguing.


A shot of the extensive in-game documentation. It's always annoying when a server is a mess to understand, so I meticulously update the journal with game basics as well as maintain a "Hall of Questions" - an OOC area accessible from the Dream that gives you more information and explanations than you could possibly even want.


In game shot of Cleaven's citadel at night. The toolset doesn't do areas justice without the lighting.


In game shot of Corellon's temple in Cleaven.


In game shot of Vhaeraun's temple in Axfell. Do you have idea how hard it is to memorize how to spell "Vhaeraun"?


An in game shot of Axfell's magic workshop, with a look at the progress on the new rod and wand crafting trade. All tested and working so far, just need to work out some more recipe details!
