What a load of crap! It took them three months to get to my application, and I was rejected! Dammit Dammit Dammit! My application was beautiful...so beautiful...*cries*

 

I really wouldn't worry about it. ALFA's overrated, and there will be plenty of other ways to play NWN online other than ALFA. I never bothered to reapply after my first one was rejected (I guess...way back when they didn't even send rejection letters). Heh, now, don't let these boards fool you. Not getting into ALFA isn't the end of the world. I wouldn't even worry about it. If you let them get to you, then they've accomplished their elitist mission.

 

Oh, great!

Are there other, ALFA-similar ways to enjoy a great mulitplayer experience for NWN?

 

Unfortunately, I'm only familiar with ALFA. But if you go here:

They have a list of projects being developed by the NWN community

Even the best of us get turned down Slimshogun - Yes, even I was rejected the first time! Shocking, I know! But true just the same...I heard BTA actually bribed a judge to get in! But that's just what "they" said, and you know how "they" are!

Just sit back think about the Realms and think about how your character came about...Write a paragraph or two and send it back in!

 

Well....I got a rejection notice as well...and I was really bummed out. Especially when I thought about the fact that I was playing D&D before most of the accepted players were born!

I'm curious.....NWN is a multiplayer game, but I haven't heard of anyone on this site talking about playing a multi-player game when it is released. Now, I've never played BG or SOA multi-player, but I'm kind of shocked that I've never seen anyone here mention hosting a game. I'd love to play(at least I think I would)NWN multi-player my first time through! Anyone here want to give it a shot?

 

I have a problem too with ALFA. I mean I haven't decided what my character should be, and now that I decided it the Player Apps are down

I am really pissed and if anyone knows a similar way to play NWN online please post a link.

 

Look at Cullain's post in this thread.

And hey, I got rejected 3 times before they got so tired of me sending in apps they decided to accept me .

 

Thanks for the tips...

 

I got accepted with my first application.

Is that bragging?

 

Don't worry about not entering ALFA. I too had my application rejected when I submitted it, and I was a little peeved as well since I really liked the profile of my character.

However, somebody on these boards referred me to a different "persistent world" where I submitted the same application and I got accepted right away - got a reply overnight!

This world appears extremely well organized and the admins' goal is to keep it from becoming another "commercial site" such as ALFA. I think the goal is to keep it within 150 players or so. The community is still rather small, maybe some 80 accepted players to date, and I have no intention whatsoever to look back and reapply with ALFA. I found something I think will be even better, but that is just my humble opinion!!

So take the time to look around, ALFA is not the end of the world!!

 

Mr. Tal, what I meant by "commercial" was not a reference to $$ but rather the fact that it is the most publicized and known PW, at least as far as I know!!! Also, the fact that they are willing to accept 1000 players makes it in my opinion an "unpersonal" game and that it is impossible to get to know all the players involved, whereas a smaller community has much better chances of everyone knowing each other.

As far as having my application turned down, I did not take it that badly; I understand that they might not have found my character as fitting to their game world, or another similar application could have already been accepted. It is sad that they do not provide feedback in their responses to let the players know why the application was refused, another reason why I consider the ALFA world as "commercial" - no personalized feedback.

Oups! Typo edit.

For everyone's information, there is a 60-100 hours long official campaign in this game. It's not the end of the world if you cannot play online in ALFA. We have survived with single player only before.

There's also probably several other good places to play online if you just bother to look for them.

 

True enough about the single player game. My main pet pieve about that is I really don't like single player games where it's just your character going solo, and based on my experiences with Arcanum, I don't really like henchmen either. I see why it was done, but I still don't really like it. (And I don't really consider a summoned beast and a familiar anything to talk about as all the designers seem to when talking about a NWN "party" or "group"). I'm very interested in playing multiplayer (maybe not persistant worlds, but at least multiplayer) if only because I'd like to balance out the gameplay experience at least a little. We'll see soon enough I guess, but I still beleive the single player experience is going to suffer the way it's layed out right now.

 

Two questions Tal:
- do I get the "henchman" in multiplayer game, and if yes, how many different henchmans are available for 100 players? Or we get the same henchman?
- what if I play male hero and my henchman is also male?
