Mistledale - help beta test a new server

[Palmer Eldritch]

Mistledale, a new persistent world server for Neverwinter Nights EE, has just opened for beta testing. I’m very grateful to everyone who tries out the server, and I’d love to hear your feedback.

We have a website, at http://www.mistledale.com/, with a forum.

This video has more information about the server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDrOQvkfuSQ

Mistledale is an action-packed persistent world for NWN:EE with a strong focus on creating an immersive setting and interesting storylines.

Players advance by exploring the world, delving into dungeons, carrying out quests and finding hidden places and enemies to defeat.

Mistledale is an accessible server which does not require any downloads to play, other than the NWN:EE game itself. It is designed to be challenging and offers a medium to low magic setting.

The server admin is Palmer, who help to create a NWN server called Battledale some years ago.

Features include:

• Quests and puzzles
• Hidden boss monsters with a chance of dropping magical loot
• Respawning traps in dungeons
• A fast travel system
• Players may rest to recharge spells and abilities every five minutes
• Experience for discovering new places

I’d describe the server as roleplaying-light. There’s a lot of detail in the world to encourage roleplay, but we don’t have any of the restrictions that exist on some roleplay servers. You’re free to go into dungeons and level up as much as you like, for example.

The server is in beta, and currently has content for a group of players up to around level 10, or for a solo player up to level 13 or so.

Even when it is finished, Mistledale will be smaller and less ambitious than some of the more established servers. But the goal is to make it a lot of fun to play.

Uh, the house next to Stedd Greystag (in the beginning) has a hole in it; is that intentional to show the interior of the stable?

Also, journal entries are stagnant? As in, I see what my character observes and thinks via the combat log, but - while my journal notifies me that a journal entry has been updated - nothing new shows up for the updated journal entry.

Hi Sir Lord Wololo, thanks for your feedback.

That's just how the house is designed:) It's really two separate buildings (inn and stable) with an archway connecting them.

Regarding your journal, I have checked and it seems to be working. When Stedd Greystag gives you the "Journey to Silverhaven" quest, it appears in the quest journal (at least, it did for me). However, the quest completes the moment you enter Silverhaven, so while you'll get a note that says your journal has been updated, the quest has moved into the "completed" section of the journal and you'd have to look there to see it.

By the way, if you speak to the NPC right where you appear in Silverhaven - Miri Amblecrown - she will give you a new quest to do.

@Palmer
Yeah, I completed that quest: killed the kobold king and then got out. I mean, is it intentional that the journal gives update notifications throughout that quest but doesn't actually update the journal entry?

The journal entry did update in the end though with: "I am now recognised as a skilled adventurer,...Grimtag will sell me his finest wares."

Also, it's a great world so far. ^^

Thanks, that's much appreciated:)

I'll take a look at the quest issue.
