Description
This world is really big. As a DM 8 hours + are needed to run-check every map! Only 45 spots are open on this server.We have 1319 areas, 1 major 30 part "seeker plot", and 5 PC administered guilds - Role play and some very heavy fighting.
I've added all the working versions of ROS to this post. So, downlaod, have fun and please VOTE!
ROS: The plot of this world revolves around the return from undeath of Brin Savros the destroyer. In his escape from his tomb he shattered the Zethnite Golems that were empowered to keep him in the grave. The Shards of these Gollems (each with a magical property) were scattered throughout Shargast. The task of the PC is to collect clues, speak to npc's and so find the way to these elusive shards. Once the shards are recovered the PC can build the ultimate weapon with which a victory is possible against the now reanimated Brin Savros.
Otherwise one can play non-linear in this world. It has enough depth to allow for +1000 hours of play time (no lies).
PC run guilds are in place tailering to classic good (White Rose) vs. evil (Black Knights) and not to forget good that thinks all others are evil (red Dragon templars) and lastly assassins (Black Claw). Plus 2 NPC run guilds.
Improved cleric and paladin turning abilities. Turn dead with the proper domain knocks'em down and really gets them running.
See the readme file for full instructions.
Cheers - Thanks for all the support over the past 7 years!!!
ROS 3.0 with CEP 2.4 is now online in action titeled as "Death and Dishonour"
Sai and Papa Lenin are DM's
This is per 2011 the last and most stable version of the Shargast project. It is in one file (as the splitting 5a & 5b requires quite a lot of scripting and database knowledge). I've enjoyed the NWvault over the years and hope that this last contribution will do the Shargast series proud! Have fun and mail me at [email protected] if you have questions.

Updated with cep 2.2. This is the newest version of Shargast V5.1 - Split into 2 parts for faster loading. NWNX2 is a must for SR's. Check the guide for the IP Portal locations (they have to be adjusted with either your static or Internal IP address). If you run this module online you must either have a static IP or a simulated static IP. Also, the Sha files have to be updated with your IP address.
Have fun and don't forget to VOTE!
I have not played it yet so I obviously wouldn't vote. I generally don't play mods until they hit the Hall of Fame. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve There's no reason to group all the files together, as they are a progression of the Shargast works. The last and most advanced (hardest Boo!)is Shargast_v3_cep_24.7z. DL this one and take 2 weeks off of work. The avg. size of a compressed Shargast file is 10 MEG - the max. uplaod size from ign is 25 MEG. Such a huge file would not be allowed and only confuse all those that DL it. Thanks for the comment and think about voting, eh!!

Edit for above post: got it running just fine, in single player mode, not multi, and not running nwnx2. As an aside, i *did* install the leto and nwnx2 files... But I don't know and can't tell if it did anything. Runs great!

You know, I'm just going to vote. I see that you have done amazing work here, and you have faithfully updated for years, and have worked with the community and provided player interest for no other reason than to give others a very fun and HUGE place to play, without asking anything in return. For your selfless act to this community, and the amazing work done here, and the faithful updating and bugfixing etc, you EASILY deserve a TEN vote. I can't wait to try this. I think I will try v3 without the Leto/NWNx2 files and see if it works. Personally I'm not concerned at all with Sub-races, and the socketed items thing isn't for me either, so I think v3 is the one I'd really like to try. Hope this works! Otherwise, I may have to post again later and ask for help on how to get this running as a single player module. Until then, here is your ten. Hey, I rhymed! *chuckles*

Hi there, just posting a comment at this time, as I have yet to try this. I admit to being 'scared' by the need to do stuff with NWNX and leto, as I am a player and not a builder, and have not messed with these things yet. But, I do have a question for you: can Shargast v3 be played as a single player game? Or is it only downloadable for those who wish to play online? I have read the documentation, and have downloaded the required files including NWNx2_Leto.7z, THE_REALMS_OF_SHARGAST.doc, 5AB.7z, and Shargast_v3_cep_24.7z. I am hoping to try the v3, but if it can't be run single then I'll go with the previous A and B versions. Do I need any other files from NWNX2 or Leto, or only the files in your zip here? Also, I have downloaded the PDF "ROS_2.0_CEP_Handbook" in which you very courteously explain how to get this going. As I read this PDF, it seems that the files in your zip are all that are required? I am just concerned if I actually need to download and install Leto and some other NWNX2 packages ALSO along with what is in your 7zip file. Sorry to be a bother, but I'd love to try this as a single player!

Hey Killer Don't follow. There is music or sound effects on every map! (I think :) Now, get this, the world (depending on the version) has over 1200 areas! Can you honestly expect that EVERY area has a dungeon, or for that matter a NPC? Think BIG, some areas are runthroughs for effect and if you want a dungeon on avery area - then go to it (but keep in mind that you have only 40 lvls to play with). If you want to add encounters, great - but try to stay with the overall vision of a world that you can level to 40 and still only explore 40% of the areas. Thank you very much for your vote and if you have any serious questions please mail me and I'll be happy to help if I can.
