Shattered Lands, is based in Forgotten Realms, and is a server where most play styles are welcome. The server is meant for fun and relaxation with guidelines, rather than rules. It has been designed around a role-playing or acting concept, but "power-gamers" are welcome, so long as they are respectful to the community, and are even encouraged to participate; as long as they bring something to the metaphorically placed table.
The setting takes place in Faerun, as mentioned above, along the High Ice glacier, which for unknown reasons to the random traveler, has had a path cut through the ice, where rumors of vast gold, artifacts, and even tales of ancient ruins of Netheril await. It is said that the land beyond the ice, is known as the "Shattered Lands", and has had native residents for a much, much, longer a time, than the path has been opened to Greater Faerun. A path that is rumored to only have been accessible for an estimated thousand years. These estimates come from the scholars who have passed through Sheragrad over the years.
The Gether Caravans have taken it upon themselves to aid travelers through the Anauroch Desert, to the nomadic camp, and even provide them with a small boon so as to keep them safe during their first few travels, for reasons unknown.
The traveler arrives in the desert, the caravans pulling near the mines; the nomadic camp lay shortly off to the West.
Their destiny lay in their own hands.

Can't get enough, dm's do a great job on events, and even when there is no event they're fun to play with. Great community, great detail. And best of all... No Haks or cep!!

A very large world, but every region of the world is made and wrote out in detail. Each settlement has their own rules, lores and traditions.
Dungeons are mixed in challenges and even a tiny surprise can make an at first glance easy dungeon into a challenge you'll enjoy.

Dungeons are unique, and the encounters are well balanced. The setting is fantastic; different cities look and feel entirely different and the NPCs inhabiting them act completely different from NPCs in other cities. The setting is diverse, the encounters are diverse, and the NPC are diverse. All in all, Shattered Lands is a really great server.

So far, so good.
Especially I like those dungeons. It`s a great idea to join them in systems and implementation is almost perfect too. But the bigest surprise was how different they are. You will find not only traditional mines, wolf dens, witch nests , but also the labyrinth, whole buried city and some kind of hellish Styx with Charon in his canoe, all good designed without copy-pasts(so far). Best of all, as I said, that they connected between each other and it take awhile before you can normally orient there, hell, you can even find yourself lost there, not for long, because of automap and markers, but still. Do you remeber last time when you lost your way in isometric game dungeon? I`m usually don`t even open the map and there I find myself rarely closing it. I`m sure that author spend a long time planning it.
So good work and thank you.

Nice post here. Yupp I play here from time to time :-) Easy vote :-)
Been looking a long time for a server that has both roleplay and action.
It is a very well done world indeed.
Could do with some more players :-P _________________________ X-Fire NWN1 guild page: Link

May as well vote for my own creation. xD I rather think this server is quite nice and moving along quite well thus far. I couldn't find the interest to keep doing it without the players though. I realize there are at times bugs and things people would like to see, but the patience to see them and wait for things to be added is quite a welcome thing.
The world itself is a much larger scope than I have seen from more than a few PWs and I hope to try to keep up with that pace.
I also couldn't have done it if it wasn't for help from a few coders, so I would like to thank them as well.
If the place isn't at least an eight rating, I say poke me and I'll see what I can do to improve it. As long as it isn't vorpal blades at level 1. :-P _________________________ -Gears

This server is awesome, pure and simple. The depth and atmosphere is just mind blowing. I thoroughly enjoy playing on a daily basis.

Now that that's solved, here's the actual comment. Shattered Lands is a rich, content-filled, atmosphere-oozing PW that's sure to give you hours upon hours of fun. There is a massive variety of enemies, items and stores that vary their prices and availability based on races and classes and quests for the lawful good adventurer to the chaotic evil cutthroat. One of the aspects of Shattered Lands that makes it unique is it's depth. Pretty much every dungeon or other place you visit has it's own story, which can be found out by speaking with NPCs, finding journals with clues or a nasty boss-like enemy who will have a little chat before all hell breaks loose. As if the "normal" version of the world isn't enough, players will find that there are ways to enter a "shadow" version of Shattered Lands: a harsher, somber place than the one everyone sees at first glance. I could go on and on, but the best thing you can do is join up and see for yourself, no doubt the great effort and work put into the PW being something that you'll find very enjoyable. Good hunting!

CEP2.4 would feature amazing and great in game content and amazing and great new epic quality and new flavor to this PW server module, am I right??? _________________________ Mike Sharp.

There is no CEP either, no. It is made so that you can just jump in and play, without needing to worry about a download.
There are no plans to add any HAKs or CEP. IMO, standard NwN has plenty of tools to make a detailed world. But I do agree, hats are cool in CEP. :-P _________________________ -Gears
