    NWVault is sharing reflections on the current condition of Neverwinter Nights 2 multiplayer. This is supposed to be an update to the article published last December. Here's the first issue being discussed:

    1. Where do we stand, How do players perceive the process of joining a PW and playing on one?

    Grinning Fool :

    Things could definitely be better. The bulk of the casual player ‘market’ has been all but lost due to the PWC. Even though it’s simple to install if you’re familiar with the folder structure of NWN or NWN2, most players aren’t familiar; and don’t find it worth the added headache to become familiar. This is compounded by a lot of PWs that don’t make their PWC files easily available.

    I think the proliferation of alternate solutions has more disadvantages than advantages — rather than being able to standardize on a single solution, the community has fragmented such that each PW is doing it’s own thing. This makes things even more confusing for would-be players, requiring them to actively research a PW before even attempting to log in — and for most people , it’s not worth the trouble.

    MotB is sure to bring back a lot of players who are looking again at the multiplayer scene for improvements; hopefully we will see an official integrated download solution from Obsidian at around the same time.

    Read the rest at NWVault.
