Description
What you can expect: -Hard-core rules: death is real (though resurrection is possible if another player drags your carcass to a priest, and there are opportunities to earn "hand of fate" tokens which basically function like "get out of jail free cards" but are rare). In addition, there are fatigue, hunger and thirst rules in place, when travelling in the wilderness, so you'll need to buy food, rent rooms, camping equipment, etc.
-Low magic and tight game economy: If you are expecting bags of magical loot laying around in street barrels or heaps of gold littering dungeon floors you're going to be sorely disappointed.
-Slow leveling: If racing to level 20 is your idea of a good time, then you might want to find another place to call home. The "sweet spot" for the server is probably in the level 4-12 range and level 12 or 13 should be considered a soft cap -- the server's content is just a better challenge and more enjoyable at the listed level ranges.
-This is a co-operative effort: If you have some really cool character concept, or idea of starting your own super secret cult of slug worshipers we on the DM team would love to hear your ideas and work with you -- player driven plots and factions aren't just permitted but also encouraged.
Rules of the road: Our rules are pretty simple --
-Stay in character
-Don't cheat or meta-game
-Don't exploit bugs
-No griefing (Specific PvP rules can be found on the forum)
-and above all come ready to play with a mature attitude.
Update May 1st 2008: We are now in honest to goodness, full open beta ... there are still a few wrinkles to be worked out, but for all intents and purposes, the long winding road that has lead to this point is now in the rear-view mirror.
Instructions on how to connect to the server are available on our forums under the "Essential Information" sub-forum (password, IP address, rules, etc.)
All of the files you need to play are included below each needs to be installed in their appropriate location in your My documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\{hak, campaign, pwc, etc.}
We are currently running game patch 1.12 and you will need Mask of the Betrayer installed in order to play.
Worldgate client installer (v 1.5)
This will install worldgate allowing you 'one-click' update functionality for all of your Frozenfar related client files (PWC, haks, and campaign folder stuff).
It performs incremental updates grabbing only the small pieces that have changed which radically cuts down on download time, it will also verify your client side files, grabbing anything that is missing. Use the TFFWorldgate.ini file located on this page to automatically configure your worldgate client to connect to the FTP server. (Special thanks to Tanita for creating this application)
This folder contains campaign specific overrides needed by your game client to operate correctly with the game server (in particular a contextmenu.xml file that allows you to heal dying companions, via healing spells or use of healing potions on dying characters.)
This folder needs to be extracted into your 'My Documents\NWN2\campaign' folder
Wordgate configuration file used to setup your worldgate client for use with the TFF ftp server. To use simply start worldgate click "new" or "edit", click file and then find and select this .ini file you just downloaded
