NWN Multiplayer

I don't usually say this, but fuck off marketer.

He feeds off of that, just call him gay and move on.

I remember Rey's work and it wasn't that. It was specifically an online server running perhaps a custom version of it? There were numerous one off servers of that type back when the platinum edition came out.

Here's another one I found. Seems Final Fantasy was a popular mod back then just like Star Wars mods.

neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/davood-final-fantasy-1

Baldurs Gate isn't even remotely related to Neverwinter.

Ignore him and have a good thread

It was. There was a fair amount of the persistant servers built around various things like that.The original one I recall would have had to have been from around 2005 or so and I'm not sure what the mod/scripting scene was that far back at this point

Speaking of Star Wars apparently there is an up and running mod server for it still around.

I think it was pretty robust. They got more involved server cracking modding later on after everything scriptable had already been done.

Is there a CEP equivalent for tilesets?

There is the CTP and there is project Q and CQ. But those are with older tilesets, the new tilesets aren't released yet so they're not compiled in a batch mod.

I made a poll to find out what people would be interested in playing if any possible world was made.

I voted, but star trek should have been an option

Oh I didn't think of that, I guess so.

NO. FUCKING. WAY.

Any good single player modules in recent years?

Whats a noob friendly nwn server thats also ok with casual racism

I had a module idea a while back. I was going to make a Metroidvania, basically. The maps were going to have little obstacles everywhere that required a specific item to navigate through. Bioware even did a little bit of this themselves with HotU and the demonic hand acting like a grappling hook. My other ideas were a hammer that could crush rocks, gauntlets that could move blocks, and a ring that allowed you to move through poisoned water with an upgrade for lava. All of these are pretty trivial to script.

If it exists there's an NWN mod of it.

Arelith and Forgotten Realms Cormyr are quite open to casual racism and homophobia because it improves their roleplay atmosphere.

Good, fucking elves

Ailund Saga and Sanctum of the Mage got updates to Enhanced Edition and are being continued.

Now is a good time to try it out. Like you said it wont be too difficult to script.

bump

Modding is the only serious path forward for enhanced gameplay and enhanced graphics.

Attached: 58SpntJ.jpg (1680x1050, 220K)

Are there any graphic improvement mods that I can subscribe to on the workshop that will still let me play on servers

Probably not or they're only minor. If you use graphics the server doesn't have you will look like swiss cheese with missing body parts.

I need help with my server. It's a light-hearted action persistent world module with some PVP.
I had around 10-15 players most of the time a few months ago; for a while, the server was in the top 10. I was working furiously on adding updates to keep everyone interested.
But I guess I couldn't keep up. Now there's usually just two players on or none at all. I think the big problem is the lack of quests for higher-level areas, and the lack of interesting higher-level areas in general.
My DM says that I need to make the leveling fast so that people are constantly trying new builds, but I don't want the leveling so fast that people get to 40 in a day. I feel like fast leveling would just make people get bored more quickly. Right now you can probably hit level 20 in 5-6 hours.

I want to keep working on it because I enjoy it, but it feels pointless when it's so hard to attract new players.

I'm not sold on custom content for module making, but only because I never really tried it, even though the toolset was my favourite thing about the game.
And I'm still using the original Gold edition disc but have downloaded all the Diamond content as well.
What's some good custom content for module making?
And I guess since I'm apparently in the dark ages still, can I play with EE players? How cross-compatible are these versions?
Yea Forums-made persistent world when?
I guess depending on my answer to the second question, I wouldn't mind looking at your server.
I've never played online because none of my friends want to play with me so I can't get any newer.

I wish I could help some how, I used to have a csgo server, got it loaded up with loads of neat shit. Nobody really joined.

I guess advertise on forums and shit maybe

>Yea Forums-made persistent world when
I'd be down for helping with this.

It isn't you that couldn't keep it up. From what I've read this is Beamdog Strategy, starting November they had a 70% sale every month for a while. I've seen a lot of people get BTFO about their player numbers on the forum. People were warning them they will lose the players when the sales end. Nothing you did or didn't do remotely affected your success or failure. Your boat went up with the rising tide and then the tide went down it's that simple.

>they're working

Only reason it's worth getting the shitty "enhanced" version is because so many servers require it now.

Someone should add a link to download the last version before beamdog fuck up.

Custom content gives you new heads, new clothes, new weapons, new placeables, new icons, new tilesets, new skyboxes, new music, new everything.

It's the only way to do things in a way that is seamless and comprehensive.

You can't be cross compatible unless you're sinfar or you pay them money to host your server.

What do you mean?

What are some single player modules to take a look at? I have played Almraiven and ADWR.

Oh great, this thread again. Everyone quick, shill your dying PWs and toss stones at Arelith. Those old wounds won't open themselves.

I was imagining something fairly chaotic, like everyone contributing an area at minimum, and then people throw in NPCs, items, encounters, lore, etc., later.
Something that Yea Forums would make, essentially.
It would still have to be decent quality and fun to play, but it wouldn't have to be the clearest vision ever devised. The forest home of the dracolich could be right next door to the ice fortress and the friendly desert town.
You could connect the world up like one of those Yea Forums draws cover art threads, where people pick coordinates and fill them out.
This is all way too ambitious, isn't it.

Have you considered that your server's problem is being a new flavor of leveling romp for people who do nothing but low-effort grinding for the nearly 20 years NWN was released?

Is there any point to getting enhanced edition if diamond runs just fine?

NWN Multiplayer and its sister attribute, self-loathing.

Arelith sucks though, nobody wants to talk about it except Arelith players.

They all suck, and they're all obsessed over by the people that play them. They're also all run by embittered prima donnas who refuse to contemplate why their servers are shit.

I've been playing NWN on a persistent server for last 10 years. It's better than any MMO Ive played and made friends that are like my second family thanks to this game.

It doesn't sound so good. It needs a clear vision or it's just a clusterfuck. Like you could make an NWN version of POE.
That's why I don't understand why people want to force players to stick to 10 levels and only base rules.
Like says the only reason to get it is to play on a server that requires it. That's the only reason.

>made friends that are like my second family
Good for you! I bet you're always playing with them! And when one of you becomes an administrator, wowee! All that loot and events! NWN PWs are great!

So people are going to be pissed at the guys that hijacked the community focus, so what. Just make new persistent worlds and ignore the old jackasses.

The server is called World of Iniquity.
There are a ton of spell, class, and feat changes, and lots of scripted items.

I don't know what you were expecting or why you expected it to do well on enhanced edition. Most of the servers are in your position and only a handful stand out.

you take video games too seriously.

There's no relation between them.

So a Yea Forums server?

It is quite difficult to stand out today. One thing I try to do is make the "introduction" short. Many servers will drown you in seas of text. Endless rules and other things you need to know before you can really start playing.
On my server, there's maybe a couple paragraphs worth of text that the introductory NPC gives you. After that, you're on your own. The journal has additional information, but you can read that at your own pace after you've figured out whether you want to stay or not.

I play on the haven server for that sweet erp

For this reason alone I refuse to touch Beamdog. Fuck them, fuck their terrrible business practices and fuck Gearbox for doing the same to Duke Nukem.

Doesn't matter people wont play, with or without text, it doesn't matter.

There are a lot of different styles to mods.

Well it has to be related to Yea Forums in some capacity.

So our Lord Gaben amen, must be a deity.

What would a Yea Forums persistent world be like?

Yea Forums Tier Deitys
A glorious tale of two gods caught in a battle Gabe and Sweeny that takes place on backdrop of an epic console war.
We would evolve the story with the state of the industry.

Hard core rp and you can only level up to 3. If you're caught running you are deleveled. If you're caught standing for too long you're temp banned for an hour and lose all your items.

Well its gotta be accessible.

Don't forget that blue dye isn't allowed.

Seriously though, could there be a decent Yea Forums PW? One not all about memes and shit?

the console war is never ending, stadia looms on the horizon, Todd Howard a dark lord returns to the land - dont buy his games.

Races, Neckbeard, Virgin, Chad and Onions

>One not all about memes and shit?

Well I suppose there could be, what direction do you want to take it in

Okay then it will have no haks or customizations and the setting will be the most generic shit we can find.
Sure but rp or action?

Why does it have to be generic, one of use can choose to be Todd Howard when he returns in the story arh, whenever next bethesda game is released

I'd personally prefer action. Maybe allow some opportunities for RP but don't enforce it.

In all seriousness it takes effort to make a good persistent world so it's not a good idea basing it on some shitty memes. People will just abandon it like a joke that takes 5 minutes to tell.

Good point.

Rp but not enforced sure.

Gothic mods are cool.

So action/rp and what world or game world is it based on? Or like which world x combined with parts of world y is it?

I like the large buildings. Most of the big buildings in NWN tilesets are a mere 2x2 tiles, so there's a definite clown car effect when you try to make a decently-sized interior.

That's the tougher part, I think. I kind of like the idea of just using Planescape, because then you have a wide variety of possible area and creature types you can use. Or everything could just be made from scratch.

hmmmm baldurs gate? I dunno really

>Planescape
I second this, are we talking Sigil?

>There is some faggot, somewhere, that dedicates some time to his day to patrol Yea Forums in case of NWN threads
>Always posts the same shit every fucking time
>Is so fucking angry like Beamdog ima hit his father and skullfucked his mother

Would you kindly piss off? I'm not even a huge fan of Beamdog but NWN is legitimately enjoyable. Stop trying to ruin shit for people with bullshit.

It's probably more than one person.

I think Sigil and the Outlands would work. You could start there and unlock more portals as you completed quests or defeated bosses.

Okay here is my pitch.... Sigil The City of Doors... The Cage ... Center of the multiverse.

300 areas covering the a 1:5 scale of the entire city surface area. A full undersigil and buildings all usable with interiors. Then it will be like a Gangs of New York, but in Sigil.

I like the console wars idea. Pledge your loyalty to a console or to Gaben. Have a corrupt noble buying out Gabens supporters. Have a black market mages guild creating summoned replicas of people's crafted goods.

sounds pretty epic to me

What's a good way to learn how to make modules for NWN? Me and my friend want to make little mini modules for each other to play through.

That would take a while. It would also be a lot of the same thing. It's better to have a bit of variety in your areas. I think players are more likely to become burned out if they seem the same type of area all the time.

Oh, and did anyone else see that NWN is going to be ported to consoles? I have no idea how the multiplayer is going to work.
eurogamer.net/articles/2019-02-07-baldurs-gate-planescape-torment-and-neverwinter-nights-coming-to-console

Magic stops functioning the further in the outlands you get.

Find some modules on the vault, play through them, then open them up in the editor.
You can also do the same with the campaigns, but you have to copy and rename them to be able to open them, I think.

The editor is very easy to use, generally. Making areas, items, monsters, etc. tends to be simple. However, if you want to spice areas up, you'll want to learn a bit of scripting so you can have some more interactivity in your areas.

Open the toolset and just start to click some buttons. It's not that hard and easy to figure out.
Yeah console ports will fail for NWN.

Thanks, anons.

How easy is the scripting language to pick up? I have some limited scripting experience, but nothing major.

>Achievements on mobile before pc

Attached: 1532252761894.jpg (280x280, 9K)

It's easy and you have all the built in funcs on a list on the side and a filter search bar. So you can just read what it does and tweak the inputs.

>achievements for a multiplayer rpg maker game

It's based on C, but it's missing a lot of the complexity of C. There's no pointers or arrays.

If you want to get an idea of how the scripting language works, open the script editor, go to open a script, and check "all resources" to see all the standard NWN scripts. This will include things like spell scripts, which begin with nw_s0, x0_s0, or x2_s0, depending on which game they were included in. For example, Fireball is nw_s0_fireball. You can look at those, make some changes, and see how the changes affect them. That's how I learned to script.

Thanks again, you guys. I appreciate it.

>Almost 20 years since the game came out
>Community still alive
>Still the best D&D maker game
Holy shit this is impressive. All my life I just randomly tampered with the editor and never learned to code, so I couldn't make a proper mod. But I love this thing and how easy it is to mess with the game's models and maps. Godspeed folks. Anyone knows how I can merge PRC and CEP properly without one of them messing up? Whenever I try to make them function together I somehow remove a chunk of CEP's assets or nuke some PRC commands

That's the power of NWN it's easy enough to figure out but capable enough to let you do anything.

You can check to see if someone has already merged them. Otherwise you need to unpack their haks and see which files they use and if you can bump some of the entries down in the table. Usually if it's scripted like a class feature it might be read in a script by the line number so you shouldn't move those.

fuck this board and you dumb zoomer faggots

Eh, I like how it throws out vancian casting and does its own thing.

CODI was a modding project that had about 10 artists and many people involved, with a website and forums. This was back when modding was still a big deal.

There were two Planescape servers, one is called Sigil Planar Legends and the other was Gatecrashers. The first was cancer that didn't understand the setting, the second closed doors. An NWN2 Planescape server was also popular but it imploded a few years ago due to mismanagement and clueless devs.

man this game brings me back. i think it's what got me into wrpgs. i remembering wandering around one particular server that had hot tubs and shit. i didn't know what they were for at the time.

It's just bleh at accomplishing nothing. You're also forced to play a demonic warlock or whatever and there are better prestige classes to get demonic traits. If they had different kinds of pacts and fleshed it out more it might have been okay but they didn't. Incarnum is a better Vancian alternative, so are Psionics and Binding.

Yeah don't play that one it's shit and the staff are all neurotic. The subsystems are all garbage that just fuck with you for no apparent reason.

For some reason this really tickled me pink

>it's a server enforces muh walking forever because lel nobody runs in real life!!!!
>except when nobody else is looking pretty much everyone runs at sonic speeds because nobody can be arsed walking like a molass between maps
It's also fun how they conveniently forget anything above 10-11 CON is already above the human average of physical endurance, to the point 18-20+ becomes literal demigod tier when compared to a simple human.

Nature powers in FR, which is Arelith setting, are tied to nature gods and most couldn't give less of a damn about who you fuck. FR is literally the degenerate choice of a setting, and the main writer/creator behind it is the biggest of them all.
It's even more amusing since certain animals are known to engage in said unnatural behavior.

They most certainly are on FR.

The heritage feats weren't even good and not tied to warlocks. Wizards came out with several takes on the concept of a bloodline or heritage using feats and so on. Then pathfinder incorporated some of each and heavily simplified them, having it tied to class progression.

I'd arrange it differently but they do need a rework to make them functionally good.

but homosexuality is natural, it's been documented to occur in several animals
it's usually a low fitness adaptation, sure, but it's not unnatural

It's not even running in D&D it's just jogging and power walking. Running is five times your walk speed in D&D not double.

I know they weren't the best, but in NWN2 most of the truly op feats weren't available anyways
heck it doesn't even have eldritch glaive without mods

It's only loosely based on FR so they can claim cred and easy of newbieism, while being lazy as fuck on their world building. Old NWN had five hundred non descriptive islands somewhere in Faerun but not really.

Is there a mod for NWN1 that upgrades textures and models?

low fitness ie the animals bloodline dies out and so the druid is unfit for magic and dies out

FR is honestly a rather terrible setting
every writer pushing their little super powered OC into the setting or promoting their snowflake species or nation has done some terrible things to it
it needs a small group of dedicated writers to reboot the entire thing and cut out most of the excesses

Actually NWN2 went overboard on a lot of things. They kicked things to overdrive mechanically, gave classes free epic feats and bonus feats. Then they included unplaytested web content feats with a poor implementation that really screwed the mechanics.

and that one also depends
if an animal being gay is also tied to some protective instincts that cause their siblings to increase the number of offspring in exchange for producing no offspring themselves, their fitness could still be positive

not really, while it gives out more epic feats, the things you can do with epic feats in NWN2 are much less severe
an epic level wizard in 3.5 breaks entire settings over it's knee

So in terms of multiplayer and Persistent worlds, is the EE the way to go?

it isn't positive as the animal is wasting it's resources and time not passing along it's genes.

You are pretty much forced to do so since the main servers have gone the EE route and you need EE to play them now.

one word: ants
they're the single most successful animal on the planet, and most of them can't reproduce

Yeah it's shit, give me Birthright any day. It even has a human queen on the Thorn throne pregnant with her half-elf child, and the Black Princess as her bodyguard. Highly underappreciated setting.

Yeah really it went insane and did a lot of stupid stuff that broke the whole system. If you don't understand that then you don't understand 3.5 which is extremely tame by comparison.

This is a long shot, but any old PW players in this thread? I mean really fucking old, who was there 15 years ago. I can only remeber Haze and Aerelith(I think it was called), both RP worlds with a lot of autists, drama and social cliques. But I still miss them.

individual ants are genetically clones which is substantially different

No they switched to Enhanced Edition. Ravenloft still sends their server info because they want to double dip. So that shows a different standard is used for them and servers like Sinfar which actually uses the right version.

I can't solve an entire adventure from the comfort of my wizard tower

I've been playing since 2002.

Oh shit what up. What servers did you use to play on back in the day?

Yep City of Arabel still exists too, they never learned. Amia exists still but they're going to rename all their areas so they can distance themselves from Arelith. Not have same towns like Cordor and stuff.

How important is persaude? I wanted to play hordes of the underdark as a barbarian but I heard your companions betray you

And that stuff is a question of ruleslawyering with your DM. If your DM doesn't allow it then you can't do it in table top either. Mechanically NWN2 is literally broken, and glitches combine to make things powerful.

What is it with these kind of servers that attract a certain kind of retard? I don't think I ever played on a server that didn't devolve into infighting, social cliques and so much drama. The drama is what made me leave eventually. But I've tasted that fruit and want another bite, but I know how bad and stressful those places used to be.

Acid ray was the best boss killer in the game, while stackable cold tentacles were perfect for killing trash. Plus he basically had a permanent invisibility and could attack while staying invisible.
Epic vampire rogues were the only enemies in the game he couldn't beat, because they autododged his rays.

if you want to reap the rewards of it you will need to put ranks into it but for the most part once you have even a single point in persuade you can start using magic items to boost it to the level you need it to be, you might need 7ish ranks depending on your stats

I think the problem is that incompetent people always try to get power and authority. They also can't take criticism and they have to say that their stuff is perfect despite everything. If they get lucky it's not luck, it's intentional and because their server is perfect.

A normal person doesn't think that highly of themselves and sees all the flaws and ways it can go wrong. So running servers for them is kind of stressful. That's why most servers are run by egomaniac autists.

They're cheating.

i love this game so much,both player made modules and multiplayer were great fun,i still have diamond edition

Is Arelith still run by the same braindead morons from back in the day where all the drama stories came from

vico did nothing wrong and is the best choice

Why do you say that?

There's plenty of stuff to do on Arelith. All you have to do is ask people. Or go on the Arelith wiki to find more info. It's a very Heavy Roleplay filled server with a lot going for it. You can own property, shops, be a crafter, merchant, enchanter, town guard, bounty hunter (of both NPCs and PCs), become part of a guild or faction, run for president (Mayor or Chancellor), be a pirate captain aboard your own ship, and much much more. There's lots to do on Arelith.

And for leveling, there's these quests called writs, which rewards you for killing monsters and the usual stuff with lots of experience and gold.

Arelith also offers full armor customization, letting you customize every piece of your equipment to make it look like you want. The crafting system is solid and entirely player-run, as are the shops.

If you're not looking for Roleplay, then no, I wouldn't recommend Arelith. But if you are? It's got it all.

Are they still biased against homos and so

What's the most gay friendly PW that isn't Sinfar?

No user they're not biased against anyone. When someone is acting in a way they shouldn't they'll receive counseling to become better people and learn why their life was wrong.

Sinfar and all side servers of sinfar which are run by different people not directly related to sinfar. Otherwise try another old social server like Kissmet or Styss.

>they'll receive counseling to become better people and learn why their life was wrong.
never have i read a more reddit sentence
eat shit and die you dumb little teenage faggot, trying to control people's behavior

How dare you that's a 10 RPR penalty for you. You'll never become a supreme roleplayer this way.

We can start on Arelith, user.
You can play the 20 starting STR dumb half-orc brute and I'll be the wannabe muscle mage.

But I want to be a smol elf boy

Dropped.

But that wont be a funny gay sitcom stereotype that everyone can laugh at together on Arelith.

Before you get banned for making people uncomfortable with your gayness.

>that everyone can laugh at together on Arelith.
I'm sure the straight characters who get into public romance rp are actually far cringier what with all the m'lady...! and purile maidens or downright degenerate drowessess

But at least they're christian acceptable so long they keep their animal erp on the down low.

Wait NWN mods are still a thing ? I remember being completely absorbed in a French RP mod called Paradis Perdu (lost paradise) for 4 or 5 years. The level of immersion, interaction and persistence of this game has no match even to this day.

So what's that new renderer about?

Slave RP is the worst, actually.
Because every good aligned character will want to free the slave, except the slave themselves won't want to be freed despite it being nonsense.

The plot is you enter a bar, one of a hundred such bars in town, and chat with people but at least your head doesn't look like a square bucket.

Fuck, that reminds me of sick rp, where the sickness could easily be cured with magic, but never will be because it's a character trait. Personally I find I get really irritated by pregnancy rp, and I don't know why.

Not only that but the enslaved characters must remain in the underdark and wont ever be accepted above. So even if they're free they will just get enslaved again and forced to erp.

>blidness rp/scarring rp/amputee rp
>high magic high fantasy setting where the player characters are usually mid-high level characters capable of easily casting regeneration tier spells themselves

>where the player characters are usually high-epic level characters
Fixed.

How's the actual homo community there
Usually there are only breeders or """""straightfags"""""" into dickgirls.

There is a community there but most of them already know each other. It's definitely a minority maybe only thirty lesbians and gays on at the same time during evenings. The rest are straightfags and futas.

It's a new graphics engine with modern techniques.

So what makes everyone hate Arelith anyway? I hopped in a little while back and it was pretty fun just staying in character and creating a little story with my warrior dude. People were pretty friendly too.

Here's an example using the same 2002 old textures.

Why was the ending so shit? I almost expected a third part to follow.

the beam dog audience are actual trannies who are mad Arelith is still the most popular and doesn't allow their degeneracy

WHY IS NWN2 NOT ON STEAM FUCK

I think people have different reasons. They've had a lot of drama in the past and double standards so there are a lot of people left with a bad taste. They've also been aggressive to other servers. They try to over market their server and talk down about others while talking up their own. A few years ago they were still a mid tier server but they aggressively marketed themselves. They hijacked NWNEE when Beamdog says they're closely in touch with the community they mean Arelith devs. There have also been dramas with things like drow rapes and homophobic rules in the past.

Besides that just looking at the mechnics it's poorly done and half arsed with a bit of this and bit of that. Their systems are crafted to play like chores, kill and fetch quests, spamming food and drink, auto rp item interactions. Favoritism encouraging mechanics, restrictive class mechanics, penalties if you run, and other inane rules in the name of rp.

When Enhanced Edition was announced and for a year after that Beamdog would constantly feature them on streams. They would talk about them, interview their staff, play on their server, and say they were the pinnacle of what NWN offers. That's not true, but it did have the right effect. It make Arelith really popular and fucked most others in the ass for their troubles.

One of Arelith's main devs is a tranny that Beamdog hired to work on the enhanced edition. But he/she has barely done shit all that anyone asked for.

Tell me more about drow rapes.

it's on gog

but i want it on my profile :(

Years ago drow were a thing, oh we're drow we need to be authentic, slave rp, fucking everything, demons, forced abortions and rape. The end.

can i play as a qt elf?

W-what?

Well you can't just disrespect the rp you know. That would be the worst scandal ever. You must play your rp correctly and so you have to stay in a place with no hope for you and get enslaved over and over again. This is called setting inertia and all popular persistent worlds have mastered it to a fine art. Just like how Ravenloft has random werewolves attacking at night for the past 12 years.

In NWN2?

That depends you only have one face to choose from that doesn't look ass and bug eyed alien.

>want to play a mage in Ravenloft
>the progression is absurdly slow
>can't do shit at low levels
>90% the mobs are zombie/undead hordes with decent stats that require a clericzilla to power through
wew

NWN2 Facelift pack solves that.

The largest problem with RP in MMORPGs were always the static world that never changed. One would think persistent player-run worlds could stand to be a bit more dynamic.

>NWN2 Facelift pack solves that.
I don't remember it fixing shit all. There are some other faces you can pick but almost all are worthless. Nobody has ever beaten that one elf face that everyone picks because it's the only one that isn't a dork ass freak.

Now this is epic.
Can I play online with pirated gog ver.? (poorfag here)

One would think a lot about persistent worlds. Yet it will never make sense until you realize their devs are usually incompetent idiots.

Use mods.

Based NWN introduced ERP to 13 year old me many years ago.

I also told people I was 13 year old and a girl, looking back on it thats kinda fucked up

what server what mods

A lot of rp servers were like that for some reason. On one there were a group of us that were younger and some posted their pics on the forums and some old guys who were DM would hit on some of us. It was kind of fucked up now you mention it.

have sex

Any decent server.

When I was 15 I remember the admin of one of the servers I was playing on was hitting on me hard, even offering to fly over and visit me. Thankfully I wasn't quite retarded enough to have a grown man come visit in hopes of getting sum pedo fuk

what mods tho?
shouldn't a server break with different textures or something like that?

No why would they break?

They all have their own haks and compiled haks from the vault.

how do i get my game to look like that

You play on a server that does or you make your own.

Which server offers the most degenerate rp
and I don't mean in the porn tranny futashit sense, but more about joining cults that worship devil/demon deities, partaking in unholy rituals, converting the masses, willingly inviting beings of the far realm into your frail mind, etc

Sounds super edgy, probably the halloween mod called ravenloft.

If you come back to the thread and see this: tell stories

what server is this ?

It's really bizarre how easy it was to find pedos back in the 00's. You wouldn't even need to broadcast your age and somehow they find you.

ERP is a meme. All you're ever find are tranny futashit. Anytime someone wants to do dark unwacky RP someone else always wants to save the day and ruin it for everyone.
