The server will return eventually, but I have things in my life to sort out. I could have it just 'up' as it is with a half-finished update but no one's going to be logging in without new content available. Basically if I don't do this I'm going to be stuck just running the server full time without advancing to better job, better home and better situation so I can do this better later on. So in the end it's for the ultimate good and the server will be back-when I can afford to spend time on it.

Well personally I think that the work you've done on this server so far is outstanding. Totally understand real life coming first. When you're in a position to launch again, any chance of mailing all the registered users? It could mean lots of players around at the same time, and that would go some way to giving AC the active playerbase is deserves!

Well, Ive been playing on other servers, since there never was any players on, and nothing left to without other players. noticed the server s been down a bit, tough. If youfollow Bluemeanie's suggestion, i know i'd be happy to return to Bel Amar when the stars once more are right, and it will rise again Tough ill likely check these forums every now and then.

Another lovecraft fan huh? We'll see then-hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later. And maybe I'll take the server to other locales..we'll see. I won't erase characters though unless something happens to my hard drive.

Thats good, i enjoyed playing on the server. The "meta-plot" helped make it more realistic, and added a sense of purpose, of it all going somewhere. While not knowing excactly rthere, the knowledge that there WAS a direction, even if we didnt know exactly what it was, made it more alive than ot otherwise would have been. Yeah i am a lovecraft fan... The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is likely my favourite of his stories. And heh, the anology seemed appropriate, since Bel Amar originally rose from the seabed... Uh.. There wouldnt happend to be a ruin of a city where the angles are all wrong, somewhere on the island ?

No non-euclidian angles but a ruined city maybe

So, uhm. Any ETA for the server, or is it still "eventually"?

It'll come when it comes. I'm hoping for around July but we'll see. I fixed my connection at least, so that's one goal down.
I'm working on some scripts and design documents as well as a short mod and once those and my personal website are launched I'm coming right back to my favorite hobby for you all. One thing though is I might move the setting from the island to elsewhere, it's fun but it's not that popular an idea for a setting. Likely we'll be shifting towards the northern Moonsea or Sembia/Dragon Coast but I haven't commited to that idea yet, and won't commit to any until I'm ready.

A setting that people are more familiar would be a good idea, it make things easier on the players and the DM staff as well. Oh oh brain storm! keep the island as a newb area where low level players can get started then later on they can go to spellstorm perhaps and get a pass to be able to travel to other places such as spots on the mainland after doing few quests and gaining the right to have access to thier "public" portals. Good idea, yes? no?

That's a good idea though the size of the starting island would have to be downgraded significantly due to resource limitations. I'm also playing with the idea of a return to the planes but I dunno, I really want to do more with Faerun.

You could add the planes as well, perhaps those who are considered as allies or honoured guests of azure can be granted access to Azurin and portals to other planes Azure may have access to. You could also make it so high level mages could travel to other planes

Ofcource, but I have to keep the design from getting too encompassing or out of control at the same time, lest the direction be lost.
I'm tempted to just redo Azure, everyone seemed to like that.

Yeah, Azure was a lot fun since a good number of the players had control over what happened in the plane, such as Gavin, Serion, Bear and many other players who had guard status and such. That really made the server a lot fun as well as the fact that it was different from most other servers up in NwN since most them took place in Fearun and what not

Yes, but it just occured to me that Azure worked mainly because our core gaming group still gamed quite a bit back then. These days everyone's off doing their own thing, getting more work, etc that we'd probably have to look at a new target audience for the server.
