    [​IMG] Hello all. I had the good fortune of logging in to ALFA's Daggerdale server last night. It's been a long time since I've played, and I was looking forward to it!

    Wow! I missed it! It was great to get back into playing real DnD on a multiplayer server! It seems like a lot of the old folks from the beginning are slowly coming back to the project - which is a great thing! I'm looking forward to playing again.

    Has anyone on SP been playing on ALFA? At one time we had 15-20 players. How many are still playing? Does anyone that hasn't played in ALFA have an interest in learning more? If so, post here and let me know.

    Welcome back, as I have already said on the ALFA forum ;)

    I think there are still about 5 or so of us around. I know Frosty, Deathmage, Fade, muumli (I think), Zweans, me and... others.

    Well, I am an alfa with a current lack of time to play, though I haven't given up on my char and plan to come online again once I can free enough time to make it worthwile (meaning I can stay on for several hours straight). I hope this will be soon but I fear it won't happen before February. :(

    I am going to buy NWN soon enough, and of course join ALFA, but I wonder: which expansions are need or supported?

    They are all supported, and IIRC, you need them all to play. There is also a large hakpak to download...Or you can have a cd sent to you.

    Rem is back!! :grin:

    I havent been playing it for about half a year now. Dont really know why, but i dont think i'm suited to be a DM. I guess i'll try again before i decide finaly what to do. On times it's way more fun than being a player, though :)

    Just finished trying out World of Warcraft open beta. It's a cool game, but the folks are so much below the ALFA people, it's astounding. There's also little rp,... well, ALFA's better.

    You'll need both SoU and HotU to play ALFA, and on top of that there is a large selection of hakpaks that you'll need to download for the custom stuff. When I say large, I'm not kidding, be ready to set aside a weekend for downloading depending on your connection. On top of that there are some optional Portrait packs and music files - which I've been told have some seriously decent music in them, but I've yet to find out myself.

    Joining process for ALFA is either via application or evaluation. I've never been evaluated, and I think I can safely say the majority of SP-ALFAn's took the application to get in, since Evaluations only been round the past half a year or so - couldn't say which is better.

    I came in through evaluation and it was fun, but I was lucky to be one of the testbunnies that took the evaluation during the nwcon where the oas was first introduced. I hear that now one play session is not enough to get you in.

    Heh, sorry to drag this up a few posts (Dates are oldish but its not even half way down page one).

    I'm still at ALFA. Indeed you might say an alfa convert. I use the name Cast No Shadow over there anyway, if any of you see me. I DM on North Cromyr and Arabel most days of the week, and play up at The Silver Marshes. Its a blast. Still notice the odd SP name about though. Say hi if ya see me :)

    I assume so, since there're maybe two score servers with German names visible to me via the connection screen, so...

    Yes, it works. I tried the OA-Server some three weeks ago.
