  A nice job by the DM team, the NPCs were lively, and the plot moved along smoothly *grins* Even better yet how they involved the PCs in certain roles *coughs* sneaky Vichan *coughs* :D Awesome Job Star, Bio and OB - Dha'Kron

  It was a funny event... my trying to get them on a wrong track... to bad the group got split up in half. Overall an enjoyable game :)

  Again a top notch job for the complex event it was.

  The DM team was in its usual impressive form, bringing various NPCs to life and keeping our large group well organized, all the while allowing everyone to participate fully: quite a juggling act, particularly for an event that was all RP. The challenges were there, but not the physical kind: Bio & Co. have a rare gift for making the players think. Great work!

  Very sweet session. Worth waiting for. Thanks to all.

  The stability was the only thing that delayed the fun. Understandable considering the scope of the event. Treasue did not fit this event so i gave a medium score on it. Style, im sure someone was rping somewhere, from my position on the battelfield i didnt really see any.


03/18/03 10 9 9 9 10 7 8 7 9 9
  Great game, once we split into two groups things went much better. A little frustrating at times with the challenge level, but hey...that's what happens when you have millions of enemies aligned against you I suppose! Can't wait for the next event, keep up the good work and maybe your pay will be doubled, or even tripled!


03/18/03 8 9 9 8 10 8 10 5 9 9
  Only bummer was the lag guys. Absolutely


03/18/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 10 10
  WOW! This was the best game yet. There was so much to it I don't know what to say except tremendous job on an ambitious event. There was mood, drama, action...

Even after the main event (the battle on two fronts) Midreach was alive as it adjusted to the outcome. Fantastic! ________ Since the event was broken into two parts due to engine issues, I gave a 9 in server stability to reflect the 2nd part which played without a hitch. I had to take a point for having to restart.


03/18/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 5 10 10
  This was one of the best games I have participated in! There was an issue with lag, as the game pushed the limit of the Bioware engine. The DM's handled this situation as best they could. There was not much rp'ing in this event, but I gave a 10 for roleplay, as the story has been developed over several sessions. Many thanks to everyone involved!


03/18/03 7 6 8 8 7 5 5 0 7 7
  It was very fun. Obviously lag sucked. The one big gripe I have was that the defenders had no idea when they were allowed to get in place, and they had zero knowledge of the new terrain. While I wandered about, looking to figure out the new terrain, lots of other defenders were milling about, waiting for the go ahead to get into position. As the defenders we really should have been able to defend the SE part of the pass, not caught with our pants down in the N part. This comes down to bad communication between DMs and players. Otherwise, barring the lag and faction problems, I thought the game went very well, and I was suprised to see a few things happen, like Nazrakaen showing up, and the attack on Esdorale.

  One of the best times I've had playing NWN. This massive battle had definite structure, and was intensely exciting. The DM team led by Biocyde was top notch (as usual)and they kept things moving right along, despite some difficult lag issues. Thanks!


03/18/03 8 9 9 9 9 7 9 7 9 9
  Very well set out. The war opening on two fronts was totally unexpected despite the discussions in the forums about troop deployment.

  The DMs put a tremendous amount of time into organizing this event, and it showed. The combat gave a wonderous battlefield effect that you can't get in a normal game. The encounters were really original and engaging. Things didn't go perfectly smooth, due to server issues, but it was still the most fun I've had at an event. Thanks a heap.

  The battle with the Spire was once agin well done and well excuted. Most would have done one big scene and the end. Having our desperate troops retreat inch by inch to make a final stand at the bridge---wow bloo---and the npc in Delta City-the pally sent to summon Rhodrica--asking her out after battle what a great and human touch, and by doing that and Rhodrica finding out he was dead, left her open for her first trial of faith ( which Phoneix did a fabulous job with). Was a dovetail of fortuitous circumstance and good rp on my part and your part to set that scene up wht Phoneix. AND EVIL SHALL NEVER TRIUMPH!!!!!!! and elchwang ye are such a gentle and and sensative and subtle rp'er, and made blink dog and barf come so alive for me, and was absolutely my most favorite time, thankee both---bloo shows how well ye are able to make the world come alive for and open opportunities for PC role play and deepening of their characters lRP :)

  hahnsoo and the gang really pulled it together tonight. comming late due to other reasons he stayed an extra hour over the gametime and without any cues led our group right to the tension point needed to kick off a professionally edited plot as if this was planned weeks in advance. and the scene acting from this one guy was nothing short of excellent.

hal.


03/07/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Aye gave ye a 9 in rp style cause tis all PM really does---thanks so much for taking a wee bit of your time from your studies to rp at the end there and help move the plot along--ye know my total reluctance to rp with any dm but you but then I have had the priviledge of ye as a dm since the start and am VERY spoiled that way. Only other one I really go for is bio and elchwang cause they have similar philosophies to mind. Thankee bloo for indulging me whims in this--alas was the only one of my group but hey at least had not many reviews to do *grins

  Great work to all DMs who ran Tuesday's sessions! I had a blast... I especially like the scene with the tree spirit... really connected back with my roots :o) Thanks and good luck with these midterms bloo. Alaumar

  For the first time ever, I went an entire session without killing anything. And... *gulp* it was fun! That's how much I love this server. That's how much I care about my character's life in this server, how much I'm immersed in its reality.

Kudos to hahnsoo for being able to pull this off in his world.

  One of the most amazing things about DS is having the ability to create our own storylines, and having that personal involvement. My cleric is experiencing things that I can't imagine being able to do anywhere else. Not only is there a great story, but DM hahnsoo backs it up with scripting, excellent NPC roleplay and flexibility. ardiel


02/21/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  Bloo you are wonderful, can't say any more than that, I guess the one thing that struck me as all of us appeared new was how wonderfully well ye set up the armor and bows, ect for Dagnar and me and Tyv---to help fashion our stories and enhance the rp--well except for Purple Moon who is stuck with the "offical pally look *sighs. Brightens up well...will just have to have a talk with King Vro about changing "the offical look" eh?? After all anyone who can talk her CO into letting her take her hell hound to Merano is a well..good talker, right? *grins thankee bloo, my new char is already fitting in and having fun :) LRP

  Bio as usual rocked!


02/16/03 6 8 8 5 7 4 8 10 9 7
  The DM handled two groups in this adventure seemlessly, even when both made moves that made his job more difficult. Rewards were good. The story advanced nicely.


02/16/03 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
  This was a heart racer since it meant that if you died here say by-by to your character and the hard work you put into it. I really enjoyed the event and may even wanted to push going into the castle farther but perhaps it is good that we didn't.


02/15/03 7 9 9 9 10 5 10 10 9 9
  Bio has done it again, when your heart races and you can feel the pressure, and you know that your death could be just around the corner, now that's a good game.

  Vro - Great session. I think there's some real suspense about the future of Merano, and the players are getting caught up in it. I enjoy how the plots make the groups cross each other's paths, and the interactions that result.

  I'm beginning to agree with Jinxx and Kandelai, DS feels like it's drying up. Maybe it's the focus on CS. Part of the problem is lack of things to do. I can only get xp for a couple of canned quests in a session, since most canned quests have "quest items" and there are a few players who play very hard and fast and get them all, long before I could (I tend to spend a lot of time rp'ing). So, as a result I spend seven out of eight hours on bug hunt night AND plot night hanging around with nothing to do. At a minimum, I think canned plot items should respawn so more than one person/group can do them. I can rally up a group and rp going on a canned quest and have fun, but when you get to end and realize it's been for nothing, well that's very frustrating, and is strongly contributing to a glacial level progression, at least for me. There are characters who started the same night I did who are three levels higher... and of course canned quests give nothing compared to plot quests. Mulu

  Once again DM Bloo provided top notch entertainment. Wonderful plot, terrific pacing, plenty of opportunities for roleplaying with NPC's and PC's, and just enough action to keep it interesting. His roleplaying, through NPC's, is fantastic and makes the DS world truly come alive.

  Excellent once again. Steve worked his usual miracles to get the server running, though there were two crashes. XP awards can be had by plotting with DMs, but GP is gained only by longbow harvesting, which is kind of awkward.

DMs are very attentive to their players, and respond to all requests, both in-game and between-.

  Dragonspire is quite simply the best of Neverwinter Nights. Every single one of those '10' ratings is deserved. Bloo has created an *outstanding* intermittent world, and has fostered a great community of roleplayers. His NPCs are top notch. If you are a roleplayer interested in your character driving the story then beg, sneak, or bribe your way into Dragonspire. m410

  Wonderful as always. Not quite like traditional PnP (treasure & plot don't seem to mix here), but loads of fun nonetheless.

Hahnsoo is a wonderful DM, very responsive and fair.

He is also an amazing builder, with conscientous attention to detail. Example: my first time playing I saw ale kegs that said

  DS is a purely phenomenal experience. Impressive in every regard. I was blown away by the casually impeccable roleplaying of the DM. It is rare to find a world so well executed in design, plot, programming, and story execution. I can tell DS will be one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. -Binder

  A very exciting and complicated game. The ongoing plot is a bit confusing for a newcomer (as I still consider myself) but is very engrossing. DMs did a great job with NPCs and special effects, and the story took an interesting twist. I would not complain about having a bit more money available, especially for us low level characters - or perhaps I am not going to the right places. Thanks. ardiel

  Bloo is one of the best DMs I have ever had the pleasure of playing with, both online and on tabletop. Even though I have known him personally for many years now, I am not treated any differently from the other players, not that I'd want to be.

  Dragonspire is the very best of NWN I've seen. I love the character driven story, and the world is phenomenal. Tonight's session had some technical problems for another group but mine had a great session, even with the DM's attention elsewhere. Some very good players are attracted to DS. Yay, Dragonspire! ;)

  Swab hopes Dragonspire will last through the ages cause he finks he found a home. Great Job and what fun!

  Solid game. Great npcs as always, and a world that brings out the best in characters. We're talking out the newbie thing, and I'm confident we'll find a good solution! m410

  A fun game with a roleplaying experience which you don`t usually get from other servers. Top stuff:}.

  There is simply no better persistant world out there....I cannot sufficiently explain how well these two run games.........Riven

  Wow, I had a lot of fun. Very strong world (though a lot of credit goes to the players for that). Really makes the characters a part of the world. This is what NWN should be about. I crashed a few times, not sure what to fault there. I'll be back to Dragonspire again for sure.

  Very well thought out plots, but still leaves characters plenty of breathing room and chances to influence the flow of the world. Constantly updating and improving code, implementing new things. Great fun all around, definitely my favorite game. H.
