Netheril: Age of Discovery NWN RP server is set to reopen for a "soft relaunch" on Good Friday. A fun Easter Event will be run during the weekend.

Our team have worked hard to make improvements and rebalance loot and encounters. Some of the improved or completely new features you will find on Netheril include:
-A unique player housing system with a wealth of opportunities to customise your den
-New and revamped exploration areas
-Many new quests in a variety of level ranges
-New domains for cleric characters
-A portrait pack and new heads to customise your character even further than before
-Monster player characters
-Custom art for loadscreens that reflect the server setting
New and returning players are invited to come try our server!

Have you guys ever thought of just asking the Dev of the PRC work done for NWN and add it to your server? it's absolutely mind blowing on having everything professionally done for lovers of the Faerun books from 3.5 brought to life.

Paladin class is not supported on our server

can you make a Paladin in Hell Module?

As we are working on the server at the moment it is password protected. Find out more on our discord server if you are interested. https://discord.gg/XnUd3qQ

Is this server up? I can't seem to find it on the list.

We rather people remain in character but you can just go and run about in the exploration areas and grind if you want. There are also scripted quests to do.

Is this one of those "You better freakin stay in character or we are going to Dox your family and come burn down your house while you sleep in your Bed for breaking my IMMERSION!!!!" Type servers? Or is it pretty chill and easy to just level and be left alone here? I mean ill RP if i have to. But its really not my thing. And im kinda sick of the Pure HACK and slash servers. It seems nobody has any Balance now days. Its always one way or the other. I am burnt replaying the OC. But I want to keep enjoying NWN.

Unfortunately
not, no

am i able to play this single player?

Sometimes the portrait folder and how many ports you have in it can cause the game to hang. Try removing it and logging in. if that works, then try to put it back in and see. NwN can be a tricky beast at the best of times.

every time i try to join and make a new character, i get to the pick a portrait step and my game crashes, never happens on any other world but yours.... why? also i d loaded your stuff off of steam workshop

New and returning players are equally welcome. We are a roleplaying server with a variety of new features such as new cleric domains and a custom player housing system.

Hello all, So doing some forum maintenance and will be purging forum accounts that have been inactive. This is due to the number of spam accounts we have acquired and to fix this issue we need to delete them. Also, it would be nice to have a clean forum for V2 start.

So I kindly ask anyone that is going to play or wants to keep their forum active to please log in to your forum account. We will be doing this wipe on Monday 3rd May. But don't worry if you miss this deadline but you will just need to make a new account.

Thank you all again
Netheril DM Team

@Djanga Thank You.

MycroftCanadaNS This is for an online world using NwN as the engine, so no you can not use it to run your own game sorry.

Is this for the Client, and not something I can have to run my own private local lan server?

Hey guys, putting this out there again just in case anyone might be looking to help with a project. We have come a long way with area design but are still looking for Scripters, Area Design, DMs, Storytellers to help us get Netheril up and running and live again. So if this project is of interest to you please respond on here or join our discord and speak with Tinker or Elven.

As you may have noticed, the Netheril: Age of Magic server is currently offline. This is because our team is hard at work on a new version of our server. New maps, locations and a whole new starting town are being added along with major changes in our guidelines for loot, PC death, level range. Some entirely new systems are being added for example one will add variation to quests and another that will allow players to personalise their character’s home. We are still retaining our focus on player-driven gameplay and will support a range of styles of play. We promise the new server will be worth the wait and we are working hard making it as good as it can possibly be! More updates will follow as the launch date draws nearer.

Hey Everyone, going to post the advertisement below if anyone is interested or know anyone that would be please feel free to pass this on to them. Alternatively, if you know any other places to post this up please feel free to do so.
Searching For: Scripters, Area Design, DMs, Storytellers
Project Description: Netheril is currently re-establishing its starting location, setting, and lore for a relaunch. We are in the need of a few contributors who would like to join the team and help in fleshing out the world and systems. Netheril is an RP server, which we have based around Conch and the surrounding locations, a strong emphasis is placed on players' actions and their ability to have an impact on the world. If you would like the opportunity to get involved in a project I encourage you to reach out to myself or Tinker on here or discord to chat. https://discord.gg/9CcZDhc

You should come and join our server discord channel as it will be much more simple to help you there then through comments here :)

Ok So i tired to level up in the server but I could not could someone please help me with this issue?By the way new player over here hope to enjoy this sever. :)

Just an Update here ... We have completed the hak update as advise. We have working Merchant stores for players to use and are in the final stages to have a working Horse/Mount system in place. New areas to explore and updated areas. This all comes about from our great but small Team behind the scenes. We have a great community of players that we continue to seek feedback from them on how to continue to improve. So come talk to the community on our Discord channel and just in game and take a look :slight_smile: Thanks for your time.

In the hak update that is coming soon, we are rolling out some custom paintings that depict the antics of past deeds and capturing player’s history and lore. There are over 60 paintings that will be displayed in the art gallery, another player initiative that the team has jumped aboard and helped make happen. Here is a small selection of the ones we have done.

You mean the level cap?

I would play, but why the caps?

Change is coming, and Netheril: Age of Magic will never be the same again! A variety of additions will be made to our server in coming weeks and months, with a few already implemented. New spells and deity-specific domains will add to the options and flavour of characters. Scripted quests, loot, merchants and open exploration areas are being added or revised. Some will be ‘Easter Eggs’ to encourage players to go out looking for them. To improve the theme of our persistent world, artwork of past and active characters will be added in-game and new haks will generally update the appearance of the world. Whether you are a new player or a returning one, there will be plenty of new things for you to discover.

No were are still active and online

This server is deed?

Please tag your mods correctly. While you may use certain content like custom tilesets, etc, tagging it as such is very misleading and against workshop terms of service. And if you're really using the override folder for some of this pw specific content, you're doing it very wrong. And if you're not, then why the hell do you have it tagged?

Sorry you feel that way and our server won't be for everyone. You are correct we do not follow proper cannon but that has been made clear to our player base. We do support player plots and encourage this above everything else but they also need to made sense to the setting as a whole so sometimes things may not go as planned. The team takes great pride in helping players develop their plots and character development whether that is on a personal level or in a group setting.

If anyone has any concerns or question the DM team is always available and speak regarding the server as we are always looking for ways to improve.

But again thank you for your feedback and I hope find a server that suits your needs better.

I am leaving this comment now after leaving 3 months ago.

I cannot recommend this server to others. It's flawed in ways making the experience overall negative, as described below:

1. This is not a Netheril server. It does not follow the standard timeline, does not provide a date where information changes, and is designed as a low-magic server, during the highest point in magical history for FR.

2. The staff focuses on their vision over player's. Quests are designed to tell a narrative surrounding the DM choices, and do not factor in player choice when outside of the box..

3. The staff lacks FR lore, a generic character will be more fulfilling than developing an authentic character. The staff did not know of the nations of Jhamdaath, the Talfiran human race, or Magocracies.

4. The server lacks original design, drawing from other popular servers or other games in a patchwork manner, without adding anything new in return.

No, we have many many many scripted quests that you can solo or do with other players

Is this another module where there's nothing to do but gain roleplay experience until you are level 10?

Yeah. if you want to read the original post, here it is, as for me getting angry about character conflict, it doesn't happen, so please stop trying to spin the context of my original post. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I had to remove a long ranting post from here which I do not like to do. This is a free place to post and give opinions and as you can see further down we do not try and get rid of negative reviews. We know this server is not for everyone. However, this one was 13 posts long and just not needed. If anyone is curious, I have a copy of the post and will happily give it out if asked for it. What it boilds down to, in the end, is a player who could not roll with a stories ups and down and became infuriated when others worked against them in game. They could not understand that character actions have consequences. Unfortunate, but it is as it is. I hope they can find a server where they will enjoy their time.

Sorry you feel that way, EndOfTheLine. If you had a bad experience, and want to discuss it you are welcome to come to our Discord and reach out to myself, or any of the other DMs. We don't claim to be perfect, but we do strive for it -- help us be better.

Badly designed module, lots of exploits, poorly thought out mechanical changes. Broken server ecosystem.

XP rewards not reflective of challenges.

Monster spawns on area transitions + they deal 50ish damage a hit. No warnings / threat progression.

Death penalties delevel you. They claim this is to "make you respect death". However deleveling due to a badly designed monster spawn or a DMs whim does nothing to encourage story telling or good RP. It only encourages more power building and grinding.

RP quality is mixed bag. Server encourages grinding / power above story telling.

The biggest problem are the DMs. As a player, you are putting your trust and faith in their judgement to act properly. Abuse of that trust is what ultimately destroys this server for me.

A server is supposed to be a canvas to tell a story, but if DMs are going to s**t over you first chance they can get, then what's the point in trying to make art?

DMs should want to help you tell a story, not punish you.

definately join the forums, there is information there for you to find about the setting and other rules. Join our discord chat room as well and just ask questions :)

Should I sign up on the forum? What else should new players know?

i just joined up and it is very fun to do quests, they thought of everything! there is a begger in town that you can talk to and he will give you ideas on what jobs/quests are avaialble. i wish there was more in the shops that you can buy but maybe im too new i haven't gotten to know the server yet.

great job! i'll stay for a while.

Good server, plenty of area to explore and quite a high level setting. its easily possible to hit lvl 15 and potentially possible to hit lvl 20 with a lot of effort.

The DM team is helpful and activly seeks out players to run events for

Great server. Lots of fun - very open involvment fro the palyers and the DMs. Friendly to all - if this kind of thing interests you at all give it a try.

Great server very helpful and nice dm's/players. I recommend this server to all!

Quite possibly the best PW on NWN. The DM team is extremely friendly and hard working. Even though it is all volunteer, they make sure to make everyone feel welcome and help in any way possible. They're also extremely sexy.

The server has tons of custom quests, items, areas, and more! I've spent 700+ hours on the server and still haven't seen everything! I would highly reccommend playing on this server if you're looking for a loving community and quality RP.

Top tier server - 50/10 would play again

Plenty of publically accessible events going on. Easy to get involved and fun to play!
