Important: Forum Posting

[Silver]

I would like to ask those posting comments on the forum to please be respectful of each other. This post is not directed at any one person.

If you have an issue with a player please continue it on skype if it is between the two of you. Sometimes the back and forth can become confrontational.

Please give the other person the benefit of the doubt if they say their words are misinterpreted. Forums are an imperfect medium and what you are trying to say sometimes comes across, sometimes not so well.

Two threads were locked down in the past while. If you see things are just being batted back and forth, best to move on.

Please make no personal accusations rather address the subject. One of the first things I was taught about debating was to say "I believe this idea is wrong" rather than to make it personal.

We have a lot of things still to handle as a renewed server. With returning and new staff we are just starting to get into the swing of things.

Our hope is to build a friendly, safe and relaxing place to play.

I would like to address player interpersonal conflict. There has been some "venting" of frustrations on the forum and hopefully that is a good step. We now have to make a decision to move forward and if we disagree, handle such issues to the benefit of the server. We can, with work, get to understand our differences and keep this a "fun first" place.

It is great to see so many returning and new players. I believe Harrowport has a lot to offer both and we are looking at improving as we go along.

In the rebuilt server we placed town/city location to appeal to all or hopefully most alignments and player styles. We also set Harrowport up as a "free" town where a lot more of the questionable races could be roleplayed.

We are a roleplay server but there are new dungeons etc being added because a large part of the NWN game is leveling up your PC to develop that interesting character. Whether someone is roleplaying with others or working at getting to a certain level for that special feat, and though we emphasis roleplay, both types are more than welcome here.

Some players love the bling, some not. Harrowport originally was a low level magic server and we have upped that a fair bit. Before it was "OMG it's +3!!" now we have a magic shop where a new player can save those Queen Marks up for +4 items to help. Things like that are being thought up and added. We added boss chests to a lot of dungeons for those who like to dungeon crawl and we have put in different role play areas like the Palace with a Court. The DM forum has a thread where npcs' personalities are listed so we try to as close as we can be consistent in how we rp these.

With the increase of player base we have so many new rp styles, personalities, preferences etc. The staff we have are just as different and that's a great thing.

Please take time to get to know each other. If you are not each others "cup of tea" that's okay, that's how it is in life. But we do need to get along for the sake of our fun and the fun of others.
