Neverwinter Nights 2: Cerea Island: Beta Test November 5th

With the current building of the world going well, we plan to open up Cerea Island 2 for public beta testing on 5th November. (Hopefully with with more success than Guy Fawkes)

During the beta period we will do bug hunting and a lot of tuning.

Because things depend on the amount of bugs and other issues, we do not know how long the beta testing will last, but current plan is for it to last about two to three weeks. During that time we hope to address most of the issues. That may require a lot of patches, so patience might be needed by those involved.

We hope that people will come and help in the testing by logging in, testing things and reporting bugs they find into our bug tracker. We will also be posting specific things to test during the diffent days of the test.

After the Beta is over, the "real" version of the module will be launched and we will go into a more regular update schedule.

If you wish to participate, please head over to our forums and read the instructions. Also any questions you have are best handled by posting there.

The first things to test and the initial required downloads for the testing and such will be listed there 3rd or 4th November.

On Cerea Island 2:

Background

The module Cerea is based on an island named Cerea in a Paper And Pen Roleplaying World created in 1988. It has also been the base of adventures in the current PW Cerea for NWN. As the setting is not Forgotten Realms, the Gods, Races and such are quite different.

Cerea2 will start with the rebuilding story of Cerea. Cerea went through a time of destruction, evil and good fighting for control with massive power, destroying much of the land and people. Cerea2 is set about 20 years after Cerea, the players will be the heroes fighting the evil and trying to reclaim and rebuilt the world after the destruction.

Basics

The basic genre of the module is roleplay. Meaning a majority of roleplaying, but includes a fair amount of action between the long intriques.

The basics of the place is a struggle of life vs. unlife. So those using negative energy and undead are quickly categorized as evil. Players of evil characters do not do well in Cerea, unless they are very smart evil(and very few people can pull that off).

Cerea is a world of heroes fighting for god and building a world against the challenges of the world, not a place for Player vs Player combat.

Most of the basic systems and methods are based on things learned (good and bad) with original Cerea for NWN.
