==========================================
UPDATE: 5/25/2018 - XP on the server has been doubled
==========================================

I've been missing NWN2 and I have the opportunity for free hosting for the next year and a half so I spent the last 2 weeks digging up the old code  and setting up the server. As long as the hosting is covered this server will remain up.

Direct connect is 13.90.198.71. I strongly recommend you use the NWN2 Client extension as it solves the random crash on connect problem.

We have a discord server: Lost Dungeons of Adventure - NWN2

Welcome to the Lost Dungeons of Adventure


You find yourself in the village of Land’s Edge, a quaint hamlet besieged by monsters and cut-off from the rest of the world. Councilman Tomas has confiscated what scant possessions you had managed to accumulate to assist the war effort and then had the nerve to ask for your help in saving the town. You are left with only your spirit shard. A mysterious item you've had from birth. Perhaps here, in the highlands, you can uncover it's mysteries as you find your way through the world. Reluctantly, you set out to discover what you can about the area.

The Lost Dungeons of Adventure (LDoA) is an Action PW with focus on dungeon delving, item acquisition and leveling. You can expect to find challenging opponents and logical progression through the world. Players are typically introduced to new areas through the achievement (storyline) quests. Risk vs. Reward is carefully balanced to make the world challenging without being tedious and there are no rest/class/level restrictions in place.

Some of our features include:
  • Pseudo-instanced dungeons - Some areas are limited to a single party at a time. This feature allows for more elaborate quests such as requiring the party to defeat a particular number of enemies in order to obtain a reward.
  • Heroic monster spawns - These spawns are more powerful versions of more common opponents. Heroic encounters are the main source of mundane magic gear.
  • Linked monster spawns - These are groups of monsters that work together. If you can beat them, you’ll receive an XP bonus.
  • Custom, unique powers obtainable through quests - Some of these feats boost your characters abilities. Other feats allow you to teleport to different spots in the world.
  • Dynamic quest system that tracks your progress through the Journal.
  • Nytur's battle system integrated into the world - You can participate in epic battles with waves of challenging enemies and many allies to assist you.
  • Runic enhancement system that allows your items to grow in power with you.
  • A death system that puts you into XP debt rather than XP Loss
  • Kaedrin's PrC Pack integrated into the world adding new spells and classes
  • Charlievale's Item Appearance changer.
See the server information page for details on some of these systems as well as details on how to download the necessary support files.

The basic world design follows that of commercial MMORPGs where the world is mostly static and the players progress through them as they level. To support this we use NESS to do most of our mob spawning. I have years of experience using the NESS system (as well as some of the NWN2 NESS development) and am able to use it to it's fullest to create many interesting encounters.

We are constantly improving and adding to the world.

Hope to see you in-game,

Lost Dungeons of Adventure is retired

I've retired the LDoA server indefinitely. I really wasn't enjoying working on it and the server machine died. Rather than work to get it back up at this time I've decided to retire it. I may pick it up again at some future time.

I apologize to my players.

Have at it!

The server is up and running 1.23. Auto downloading is implemented and we should be good to go. I will be carefully monitoring the server forums for any issues that might arise.
