Expected start date for Avlis Project?

[Prophet]

Just kinda curious. I'll have my copy of NWN tomorrow after work and I'm planning on making a monk asap. I figure I'll be tinkering around a little bit seeing what is available to me, but my monk will be reborn the first day Avlis is available to me. Sooooo, I was just wondering if you guys had a rough idea as to when it would be opening up...

The world will probably start small. You have to figure that since the game does not come out till tomorrow at the earliest, we haven't been able to do much of anything except plan. Yes, there are maps of the land mass and a few cities mapped out.... these are available to view in the Avlis boards if you dig for them. The campaign world is fairly well developed because we've been using it in pnp for a long time now, years. But I'm not sure how long it will take to make modules and get them up and running. We have all the computer hardware, that's certain.

The world will most likley start small, perhaps one city at first, if we're lucky... just to get a base for the players to start. Then we will begin to make modules which will cover more and more land. This process should continue until the world is completely mapped out, which I expect will be an ongoing development.

I think starting small is a wonderful idea. Everyone will be new to this and it will be nice to grow alongside the world. Much less daunting than being dropped in the middle of some multiverse.
