Griefing of said people who spoil GoT is condoned in game (not really but seriously.)

House Silverhorn is closed due to IC events.

Io-Rach/Goblin Sewers HARD Quest placeable Sewer Bar 6-9 Party 1-8 Fully functional at time of testing. Thanks @sharkinajar for the help.

Due to basic scheduling hiccups, none of these events will be guaranteed. However, Of Men and Dragons is slated for 6:00pm EST friday Feb 8th.

In response to some feedback we will be adding another tier group and limiting accessibility to some quests due to balance challenges.

Level 6-9 Level 8-12 Level 10-13 There are some quests that are designated as Solo only and most if not all the remaining 6-9 quests will be party 1-8 so can be solo'd depending on build and courage etc. The 8-12 quests and 10-13 quests will be 2-8 for uniformity. Encounters are being adjusted accordingly but be patient. Loot/Treasure/Custom Scripted Rewards are going to take time to deal with but eventually....

We will be removing the ability for higher levels to go on the "start quests" etc. Mostly for balance since we've all seen what NwN is capable of when there is a massive level range. The addition of a middle quest range should accomplish our goal of inclusion as most players can quickly get to the level 8-12 range and usually have something to do with another player.

Happy Gaming!

Hello again,

So the elephant in the room: "What is going on with CoA?"

The short answer is a lot. The team has been working very hard behind the scenes and we can only do so much.

As many of you already know there is a v6 under construction. When EE first revealed there was great excitement from everyone. When the release date came up so quickly, we were not ready, simple as that. Some "Best decisions based on available information were made"

We rushed the launch and just jammed our 16 year old server into EE We accepted that many of the functional quality of life things we love about CoA might not work and we'd be able to fix them We implemented the new level range without having the time needed to thoroughly adjust many of the encounter and loot tables. We overestimated our ability and/or underestimated the massive amount of work that would be needed to make the transition. The reality going forward We are working on a clean module for v6, a time consuming process as each script is being tested, revised, scrapped and/or rewritten We are developing a whole new set of quests. Some of the old favorites may be reworked but expect a lot of new content. v5 is in maintenance mode until V6 arrives. With limited (and volunteer) resources it's hard impossible to keep that many plates spinning in the air at once. We will be dealing with major bug fixes, DM assistance, IG plots and limited quest tweaking but no sweeping changes as we concentrate on v6. We've put out a call for any who would like to help us with Building or Storytelling but to add, if there is a specific way you think you could help with either v5, the transition or the new v6, please pm an Admin.

Lastly, we hope that you will continue to play during this transition. The struggles that we deal with in v5 will make v6 better. Thanks in advance for your continued support and patience.

Happy Gaming everyone!

The CoA DM Team
