      Well first off: Wow, I've been "out of commission" for a bit, been dealing with RL issues but I'm ready to get back into game. Huzzah, right?
      Here's a little story for you.

      I shamble my way over to my beloved computer and sit down groggily early in the morning. Haven't brushed my teeth, showered, or even shaved the scum-stash that people my age seem to get. I sip at my coffee and my mom yells at me for drinking all of her coffee. I shrug and turn on NWN. I begin to feel the anticipation of RP and questing fun…Go to favorites, Arabel isn't there. Go to history, it isn't there. Go to PW Story servers and it isn't there.

      Well, needless to say, I've been relentlessly looking for it, as well as signs of it going down and/or being moved on this very forum. None that I have found.
      Anyway, can anyone metaphorically point me in the right direction to find this beloved server?

        We cast Improved Invisibility on it to hide it from old players seeking to return.

          Direct Connect doesn't work either!

          Oi Lamancha I hope you're not being serious. :\

              Thank you.
              But of course I still don't know how to fix the problem.

                I know a while back we changed host servers or something, and went from role-play into PW Story. If you're from really far back you'll need to find it again on the list of servers because the old one (the one that would be in your history and favorites) would be gone.

                Although I don't know anything about technology, so most of the words I just used are probibly the wrong technical terms. I also might have dreamed the entire thing.

                I have bad days. If I'm not being nice and friendly check back tomorrow.

                    The issue popped up for a few people a couple of weeks back during a maintenance day where the server was offline for twenty-four hours.

                    I know ChoiceofDamnations was experiencing similar trouble and exhausted a lot of different solutions, might be an idea to contact him via the forums and see what he tried in case it works for you.

                    I will try this.

                      Sadly I still have no answer.

                      I'm still waiting to talk to Mith directly on IRC or through IM.

                      Hopefully we will be able to come to a solution with his help.

                      For now though, it just blows.

                        I'm thinking about re-installing NWN but I don't know if I'd have to re-install all the Hakpacks, portrait packs, CEP, etc. that I have and I don't even know if it would work.
                        I don't know why this would happen, weird that a server would just…disappear for a few people.

                          You have no need to install any extras for COA. Some folks like the portrait packs. I'd consider renaming you existing NWN folder to NWN.old and doing a fresh installation, updating it from Bioware fully, then having a go with no customisation at all.

                            I uninstalled then installed NWN- all went fine. I had to do some sort of critical rebuild thing and some sort of error happened just a bit before it was halfway to done. Despite this NWN was re-updated back to you know 1.69 or something. I can get into the game alright, gamespy works, I can go through all the servers and check stuff out (Arabels still not there) but now whenever I go to log into a server with a character or try to make a new character it just loads a little bit then I get an error message "Neverwinter Nights has stopped working" :\ does anyone know whats up with that? I don't know why, but re-installing just made things go crazy.
                            Edit: I can play NWN again, but still can't find Arabel.

                                Hm. Crazy idea you could try, but try using hotspotshield/proxy? Maybe you could connect then?.

                                    I installed hotspot shield just now and while I did receive a different IP (confirmed by visiting whatismyip.com), I still cannot ping the server or connect to it at all.

                                      This is probably fixed for anyone having problems. If you're still having issues connecting, please post.
