Several sources are reporting that the upcoming Neverwinter Nights has been delayed for Australian release until 3rd July. This is to apparently give retailers a chance to stock the game, so that some retailers arent disadvantaged by an early release buy others.

Having said this, I'm sure that some of the ones that do have stock available wont be able to resist the temptation, so if you do find it on store shelves, drop us a line as to where.

GameArena recently released a new version of the client, which includes support for Neverwinter Nights, and plan on hosting a server starting sometime next week, making this the first RPG hosted by Australia's largest game server farm.

damn looks like i will have to wait for this game abit longer. :(

Will the server just run the normal modules? What will be the rules? Will it have a player limit?

Just curious... i mean obviously its not out here yet and you prolly cant answer half these questions till you get a copy of it to host but any ideas?

player limit will be the max we can, basically whatever the limit is providing we can support it. B2 I think is planning on scripting some modules, if he does we will probably check them out. initially however it will be somewhat default until we find our legs

Bah! I finish my uni exams on Friday and I wanted to get wasted on NwN that night! I'll get my NwN damnit! =D

Sounds good...

Will you recruit DM's or just leave it to the Admins to DM? Like do you plan on having ppl behind it all or just let it run...

Either way im sure has its benefits... But if ur lookin for DM's that could make things interesting.

W00t I can't wait... This game is gonna rock!

=(

=(

Damn gotta wait till next week, I really wanted to lan this up on Sat :(

wohoo!
yay
I saw the short movie demo thingy.

I want to play it but haven't a clue what it's like.
I was thinking about getting into DAOC but too much time and on-going monthly cost plus my guess is method of payment is by credit, so meh.

Any ideas how time demanding this game is and is playing online bandwidth demanding? (dial up)

here is 23pages of where it isnot in aus..

thank you Mr Hamster guy thingy....

Woo i've already got it!

I was in the USA last week and bought it on thursday, installed it when I got home on sunday, and have been playing it, its cool!

Oh yeah, because this doesn't happen often: Nyah Nyah Nyah!

what's it like?

I got my copy from the states but the darn thing wont install. There seems to be an issue with this game dropping out of install on CD 2 on some systems running XP.

Seen a lot of people over at nwn.bioware.com/forums/ having the same issue.

Needless to say, Im not happy about this.

The amount of detail is increable, you can spend hours just making the character you want.

It runs pretty good on my system, and looks nice as well.

I havn't played with the multiplayer stuff and the DM stuff and the toolkit because I want to play more at the moment.

I can feel it draining my life away, its a vampire of a game!

think of all those poor people out there longing for this game, only to have it delayed by the heartless capitlist corprate BASTERDS DAMN YOU ALL, DAMN YOU TO HELL

This sort of thing just encourages warezing. I mean, seriously, it does.

If people can't get it legitimately due to artificial delays, they will leech it.

I'm not saying that's good or bad, but it's true.

See what it did to Eminem.

I also belive that if games where released at the same time around the world there would be less warezing.

ill just warez it!

Certain developers do actually have their games released as a world-wide simultainious release, which is definately the best way to do things, and I agree would stop warez to some degree.

Although, Considering I don't really play anything other than Q3/QW/CS, I don't even look at other games that often these days, the last game I can remember being released around the globe on the same day was Tiberian Sun (C&C).

Harken, I beseech all stalwart Adventurers in the request that they undertake a most noble quest of the most dire need

Return to me, the location of this much sought artifact - "The 3 discs of NeverWinter" and I shall reward thine brave soul or souls most assuredly.

Damn Ozisoft should get their s*** together.

Gundam do u have ICQ?

Did I mention that I have been playing it for about a week now = )

not more delays!

Yeah I do why?

Damned ozisoft cant do a thing right, can they? Maybe EB will let their preorder customers (i.e me) have it sooner! Fingers crossed! :)

Chod. We are looking to get some dedicated DMs. Two people have volunteered for this already.

after 40 attempts at d/loading a 60 meg file i finaly got it only to find that it was an 11sec clip. Six seconds of this was just the developers name on a black screen and the other 5 seconds was of sum dark woods with a guy.... does n e know where a decent lengthed clip of n/nights is??

Then again, take a look at warcraft 3. It's been out on the net for a week or so now, and it's not released anywhere yet.

ARG !!!

Was going to drive directly from my last exam today & buy it !!!

NNNnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!

There goes my LAN plans for the weekend >:(

Just to confirm (if there was every any doubt) ALL Melbourne Software stores, in the city anyway, are saying it doesn't come out till Monday July the 1st, instead of today (the 28th).

Also has anyone had any luck with getting the "World Builders Guide"? This is a 3rd party book that came out in the states BEFORE the actual game. Haven't seen it down here yet though.
