The setting for the Fogotten Isles of Astoria are something of a mystery (and a key feature of its plot), although there are some definate links to the Forgotten Realms game world and its influence can be seen throughout the Module.

Alignments
All alignments welcome as long as they are RP'd properly and in a way that enhances the gaming fun for all. That doesn't mean that players have to be fluffly and get on with everyone, in a real RP environment conflicts should occur, but a gaming style that is at the expense of all other players is not something we want.

Description
The Forgotten Isles of Astoria is a role-playing focused server with a unique feel that is unlike anything you will find anywhere else. Veterans of the Astoria world as well as newcomers will find excitement and adventure at every turn.
The Forgotten Isles of Astoria is a complete new start from the same people that brought you Astoria 2. Astoria 2 was known for outstanding and dedicated role-playing from its players, and a personable and knowledgeable DM staff. The Forgotten Isles of Astoria is for players who actually WANT to role-play and are tired of finding "role-play" servers that are anything but.
TFIoA Features:
Random Encounters: You never know what kinds of monsters you will run into while you adventure, or from which direction they will appear!
Random Treasure: Just because you went somewhere once doesn�t mean you should get exactly the same reward! The treasure system database chooses a random items for drops and containers abased on the difficulty of the area, you really never know what you will get.
Areas: Over 600 areas to explore and growing almost daily/
Items: Over 2000 custom items and growing at an incredible rate. With a treasure system that allows us to seamlessly add new items to keep the adventuring experience alive.
Subraces: Astoria is known for the amount of open player subraces, and TFIoA delivers with a new system that prevents metagaming. No more knowing what everyone is! Plus there are new races that will be revealed over time as the in-game plot moves along.
Custom Role-playing Reward System: Role-players need not fear that their efforts go to waste as TFIoA rewards them with the good old role-playing token which grants a significant XP bonus for consistent role-playing.
Custom XP System: TFIoA promotes party and group play and that is reflected in the XP given for defeating your enemies!
New Level Advancement System: The old system of gaining a level token to advance past level 8 is in place, but now players can be given tokens when offline! No more scheduling for receiving one or waiting forever!
New Quests: In-game persistent quests give players reasons to go forth and adventure! Many new quests are already in, and we plan on adding many more in the future as areas and plots develop.
Completely New Storyline and Plot!: Think you know all there is to know about Astoria? Think again, as the new plot and storyline twists and turns will keep players guessing at all times.

Got a caster characters myself and its not as hard as you would expect. The 12 hour rest (which was debated alot btw :) ) actually forces casters to save there spells and not waste them and even still casters are easier to play than most. Infact my highest level character is a sorcerer! Gotta love familirs! _________________________ "Bit by bit the pixies steal my sanity!"

Looks to be a well-built pw at first glance, nice lowbie training and scripted quests, the ppl I encountered rp-ed and stayed IC. The 12-game-hour rest timer seems a bit excessive (although one can rent a room in an inn and rest at anytime) and is probably why everyone I saw log in was playing a non-caster class. Looks to be built with true balanced-party play in mind though, thus the lack of combat-usable heal kits. A bit of lag spike here and there when ppl logged in and out, but nothing beyond that. Worth a peek if not considerably more.

Yes Forgotten Isle of Astoria is a great Roleplay world, Well worth checking out! The roleplay there is always of top quality and the Dm's and Players alike are both friendly and helpfull. I recomend everyone to check it out! You wont be dissapointed!
Just a thing i noticed is that above it says Full PvP, its actually Full CvC. Ill mention it to a DM maybe it was posted from a selection box and they couldn't pick CvC.
(CvC = Character Vs Character btw)
if any new players join im willing to help them get into the world if they want. Wont power level them ofcourse! but i will roleplay and interact with them to get them into the swing of things as im sure will any other player you encounter. _________________________ "Bit by bit the pixies steal my sanity!"
