Server Down?

I just got disconnected 10 minutes ago and now I can not find Dasaria 2 listed anywhere on Gamespy. Is it down?

Check the PW Action chatroom for people who are waiting. There might be Dasarians there.

EDIT: Or is it PW Story? Heck if I know anymore.

I just restarted it. 17 hours, 45 minutes up time. Not too bad.

It is back now, but seems I lost all the quests I did already today, but I still have the experience from what I did. Anyway, if this is a bug consider this me informing the development team of its exsistance.

And yeah, it has been up all day and I only crashed once on zoning and lag isn't bad at all, only two small hick-ups worth mentioning.

Glad I finally found a good pw server to play on.

Most of the quests are non persistent currently, so this is working as designed.

Heheh. Er, if something that major is occurring the team would definitely have heard of it. I'm not sure if it's exactly a bug though, since it's just how PW's tend to work, unless extra scripting is done to keep progress of a character's quests through items or journals or something.

Persistent quests are possible. Indeed, one is already that way on Dasaria.

Really? I never saw a PW in NWN1 where you could do the same quests over and over again endlessly. Once you did them they were in yer journal forever as completed. If one is able to do a quest over and over for experience, wouldn't that allow for a lot of abuse and fast/easy leveling?

They have level restrictions on them. Scripting and/or databases can manage persistency. Repeatable quests are very common on NWN servers, most of the servers I have played on have had a mix. Dasaria is no exception. As server stability improves, the repeat cycle will get longer and longer so the dynamic of gaining xp will eventually shift over time.
