It is not a switch to EE. It is a plugin to allow EE players to connect.

Short Version:
I have a serious concern that switching to EE will cause at least a few of us to be forced out. We can't play on EE due to computer requirements; we've tried. The computer specs for running nwn:ee are vastly more expensive than nwn vanilla.

Is the long term intent to switch to EE ONLY, or allow vanilla and EE both? If it's EE ONLY I won't be able to play anymore.

Long Version:
Like to note as part of this discussion that there are those of us out here who do not have computers which will run nwn:ee. It's nice to offer to buy the software for others, but at $20 it's not the software that's the issue. To run it you need a gamer's machine with dedicated graphics card. Something I cannot justify spending money on now or in the foreseeable future. If anyone knows a reasonably priced solution to this problem I'm all ears.

I bought a copy of nwn:ee and I know others have also and it does not run for us worth a damn without buying a fancy graphics card/better cpu/more memory. I think some of you must have some very expensive computers and are not aware this is an issue. Various have told me they use $2000+ boxes to run it well, or $1500 at a minimum. Personally I am very frustrated I can no longer play nwn on many servers because I cannot justify spending that kind of cash on something just to play with slightly different graphics than old nwn.

Unlike what may be the norm with many of those playing here... when I play games, I don't play the kind of games that need fancy computers to run them. I am quite pissed off that nwn:ee has some very small graphical improvements which make it totally unplayable on my computer, while original nwn works just fine. When I see some of you saying "switch to EE or amia is dooooommmmmmmmed" i get a little annoyed...my interests at least are that we don't switch. It may be that I and the few others like me are an oddity and the group won't mind losing us as 'collateral damage' in making the switch, or it may be that there are more people than I know of in exactly the same situation who are afraid to speak up.

A solution (as mentioned) that allows ee users to play alongside vanilla players sounds great, but if the solution INSISTS on EE to play a few of us will be forced to say goodbye to AMIA. Because of an effort to get more players we will be kicked out.

So I'd like to know...is the long term intent to switch to EE....or to let EE players join in with those using the older client?

Like I said, I have EE, and a better computer than the one listed above (more than $400 worth). As soon as you get much action, or even many players on screen it stutters deeply. As in slideshow mode. Minimum means it will turn on I guess, not that it will run in a way you can use...if others have different experience I'd love to hear what they are doing differently as it is truly annoying.

I've been told when I've asked around that EE only runs well on fairly powerful gaming platforms due to it's 'tweaked' graphics. Again, if I'm wrong and it actually will play, I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong....

So many players too, when is AMIA coming to EE cause these other servers are rubbish

Me and my friends used to play Amia a lot about 5, maybe 8 years back-ish but buying an original copy of nwn (that works) is almost impossible.
There are so many people that simply can't play this great server because it's too ancient.

You can get the game on GOG, and I believe it's the updated version with all the patches.

Includes the original diamond edition as per description. Though I agree the move to EE is long overdue. Hopefully all our technical issues will be solved and the server ported before Arelith adds haks so we can scoop up a lot more new players.

Don't have my old CD key anymore. The one from GoG I have no longer is the same.

Once EE hits will you guys be able to make sure I can get back in my old account?
