The World of Avlis

The announcement that many of you have been waiting for: Avlis will do a version in NWN2. After weighing a lot of decisions ranging from how the community feels about it to how we'd support the site to how much time would be involved in doing the project, I've decided to go for it. Mainly, I suppose we are better equipped than we were back when NWN1 came out, so we should theoretically be able to pull off a NWN2 version with all that we've learned.



That still leaves a lot of questions: How will it be done? When will it be done? Who will do it? What time period will the new servers cover? What region will the new servers cover? Will we try again to make the entire planet or just small pieces of it? PHEW.... and many many more.



The answers: I don't know x100. However, I know who's going to decide most of those answers: people who have a stake in supporting Avlis. I've decided I'm neutral on a lot of the answers to those questions. So, as a thank you to all who are supporting us, I'm leaving a lot of those decisions up to them. What do THEY want us to make?



That is why we have several threads on the World Forge Magazine forums where the members are debating these issues right now as we speak (and have been for days): and the outcome will be determined by them. The discussion is only about 2 or 3 pages so far, but very enlightening. The rest of you can feel free to talk about it here, of course, but the thread that will clinch it is the one on WFM, so feel free to join up and help us decide.



Game on!
