    Bandwidth usage:

    Quote: I'm a bit thinking of setting up a NWN server, but would like to know how much bandwidth is used up per player allowed. Has this been ever messured? Maybe BioWare could make a such list? This is usefull for me, so I know what to do with the other gameservers I have running.

    We have been doing some internal testing on bandwidth usage, we don't have any numbers yet, but we've put in code for tracking the number of bytes sent/received by each player (and for the server in total). We were considering putting in an ini setting, to allow users to turn this on/off, so that you could track this information yourselves in one of the upcoming patches. Would many people find it useful if we left this functionality in?

    HotU Chapter 3: Yes, late in development, Wizards of the Coast requested that I remove certain options from Chapter 3 and restrict certain others so that they were only available to characters who were already evil. I had been hoping to allow you to transform the Big M into a chambermaid for your new inn in Waterdeep, for instance, but I guess they considered that to be cruel and unusual punishment. It was unfortunate that we ran into some of those restrictions but it didn't end up being too big of a deal to remove them.

    Master server response: Craig is evaluating the possibility of requiring positive master server response to let people log into your server, i.e. through an .ini setting. In the meantime, if you are running a linux server, you could probably test the availability of the master server by pinging it every 5 minutes and adjust your firewall settings in case it isn't found not accept any further connection attempts to your server while it is not there.
