Good plans! Especially the moving to another host part. I have been paying 30+ euro's a month for 10 years now, and I am looking forward to get rid of those bills. |

I had no idea of the costs to run. I've been sitting here donating to a warships fleet that I have not belonged to for like 2 years now. I will switch over Friday when I have a some spare time. |

Yo can we set up a crowd funding patreon to help offset server costs for the new host? |

I think Bob meant something like... a donation button, and that money is used toward the bill for the new host, not directly paying the new host as I honestly don't see them caring to bother. No offense to them, but they are a business and want to get paid, how that happens is of little consequence to them, so they won't bother with multiple payees. We can just make a donation button with a paypal account or something of the kind, much like we have now. |

I've asked if they want a donation button or not. |

As Disco's server has had a few hijackings, we're keeping our new host a secret unless they wish to reveal themselves. |

I actually came to this forum today because I'm thinking of purchasing EE, and I have two questions: 1) Is Amia currently playable through EE?, and 2) Will EE be required after the update? If it's 2, I'll probably buy it regardless of what the answer to 1 is, but I have a short-term coupon so I need an answer in the next day or two if anyone in the know sees this, please. |

The server is currently only accessible through the NON-EE client (NWN original / NWN update 1.69). If/when we make the move to EE it will only be available on the Enhanced Edition client. If you purchase EE on Gog.com you receive both a EE copy and an original copy. Hope this helps!

Note to Everyone: COVID has delayed us significantly due to workloads and schedules and RL causing people to need to do things much differently. We're still working on it, of course, but I thought it would be important to point this out for you guys. The Pandemic has caused a lot of problems for a lot of people. That goes without saying, of course, but alas... it's reached our Amia lives also. |

Pretty happy and scared :p 2 questions: -what do we need to do for getting our EE account linked to old stuff? -how will the new job system work? Edit bonus questions: What will happen to current stored merchand items in our boxes? Wil there still be 2 servers or wil it al be meshed into one glorius server? |

It's mostly in condensing things. Such as a Blacksmith job that can do both weapons and armor. Or a single Trader job instead of all the different kinds of traders. I'm still working on it, so I'll be posting that separately for you guys soonish. Frozen-ass wrote: Wil there still be 2 servers or wil it al be meshed into one glorius server?

Awesome news guys, kudos to all the hard work! Just a quick one regarding the new website: Will this website be shut down once the move's complete and if so will the new website assume it's URL eventually? I only ask as for any returning people they may check this website as their first port of call. |

Will the new website transfer over this ones content, or had we better start backing up all our story posts? |
Author: | Jes [ Tue, Jun 02 2020, 14:31 PM ] |
Post subject: | Re: Amia EE update (please read) |
The website content will only transfer over what we manually transfer, so yeah. You'll wanna start backing up anything you yourself wanna keep. I'll be working on transferring the major items, personally. There will be a lot of notice before this site goes down, though, so don't worry! Start now and be safe! |

This is amazing news! Just as a matter of interest, will the steam workshop page for Amia EE eventually be updated with all the required files when this goes live? (Link) I bring this up, as for new players just clicking 'subscribe' on steam is a much easier first step to getting into the server. There have genuinely been people I've recommended Amia to, who didn't play due to having to manually edit the game directory. I think the benefit of this method is, that if admins update any files on that page, it'll automatically your game with them. |

Yes, that has always been the intent. It'll be uploaded when we're ready to go live. |

Thanks for the good news and the hard work, sounds like there's big changes across the board coming rather than just a port over to enhanced software. |

You guys probably don't need to use the steam workshop if you're using NWSync included in EE. |

Is the double XP rate going back down on the EE server? It has honestly been nice to have, what with less people playing the game these days compared to when the XP rates were set more than 15 years ago. EDIT: Also curious about what happened to the Discourse-based forums. I was kind of excited to see Amia move to a more modern platform as opposed to PHPBB. |
Author: | Jes [ Mon, Jun 08 2020, 16:57 PM ] |

XP rate will be going back to normal with EE, yes. And Discourse is a nightmare and we all hated trying to work with it. |

You don't need XP. This is a roleplay server man! Level doesn't define value: character depth does. I'd spend hours with a level 3 any day over a 30 if they can roleplay well. |

Post subject: | Re: Amia EE update (please read) |
I will be only transferring one Toon over to EE. I have a pre approved rebuild that will require making a new Toon from scratch. My question lies in, are there any Morgans and Sons outside in the mod and can be accessible through one of the portals in the beginning area? I crash every time and can not transit into buildings or get back in game in till a reset if I try. Or can a Dm spawn the M&S's retrieval box so I can take my items out of storage? Was hoping to make the new Toon, transfer over her gear from her old Toon just before we switch to EE, and then just transfer said new Toon to EE. Or would there be a better way going about this? |
Author: | Frozen-ass [ Mon, Jun 15 2020, 14:21 PM ] |
Post subject: | Re: Amia EE update (please read) |
assuming rebuilds work the same in EE morgan and son inventory is stored on your PC wand, and you will just get the same pc wand (or its data) dumped on your new character, so no need to clean out the bank |
Author: | Jes [ Mon, Jun 15 2020, 15:10 PM ] |
Post subject: | Re: Amia EE update (please read) |
After some discussion on viability... Morgan and Sons banks will need to be cleaned out. Those are presently stored via database and will not function properly with the move to EE. Impknightofireland, arrange a time with a DM to help you out with that. |

The Job System is going to be similar, but not all resources will exist anymore. Take a screenshot of your current Job System supplies and quantities and we'll take care of the rest. I'll announce where to put those later. |
Author: | Jes [ Sun, Jul 26 2020, 5:20 AM ] |
Post subject: | Re: Amia EE update (please read) |
Posting this here, too, just to make doubly sure everyone sees it: The transfer to EE will take place from August 11th to August 13th (Tuesday through Thursday).
We don't expect it'll take that long, but we have a bit of extra downtime allotted just in case of hiccups. |

Extremely disappointed that Amia is going back to allowing cybering and ERP on the server. Even more disappointed to see how lenient to punishments are for breaking the rule. Says a lot. |

I thought the contention with such things was Disco's personal position on it, considering his job. If he's no longer manning the server and the current populace doesn't oppose it, I don't see why it should matter. It seemed like a difficult thing to police in the first place, unless there were two people AFK standing in a corner. Mind you, I don't have a gimp dog in this fight one way or another. I don't think we'll be turning into Sinfar any time soon. |
