Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Does Sundren require the Mask of the Betrayer expansion?

Yes, in order to play on Sundren you will need the NWN2 expansion, Mask of the Betrayer. The expansion adds a lot of new things to the game and improves many existing features, it was a very easy decision to add it to Sundren for all the benefits it provides.

Can I make/join a guild?

Sundren has several in-house guilds that are joinable by regular PCs and will offer different benefits. Each guild has its own private forum that will act as a message board for the members. Players are free to make their own groups, however there will be no sanctioned player-run guilds in Sundren.

Can I use overrides on Sundren?

No, anyone caught using overrides may be booted, or if intentionally using them to cheat -- banned. Overrides not only cause server instability, they also can corrupt your character file, affecting others as well as yourself. We will fully enforce this rule. Do not risk getting booted/banned, while playing on Sundren, either rename or clear your override folder located in:

"My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/override"

I messed up on something, can you relevel my character?

We will not relevel player characters unless the character file is somehow corrupt from a bug, or if you picked a moderated class that you didn't get approval for.

In all other cases this kind of request will be denied. If we agreed to do this kind of thing we would get dozens of requests in a day and we simply don't have the time nor desire to relevel people because they picked an incorrect feat or class.

There are many character creator tools available for free online to help you plan out your characters before you make them.

How long has Sundren been in development?

Sundren has been in development since October, 2006.

Can you edit my character/armor?

For various reasons we do not accept player items, BIC files, etc. Nor will DMs or admins edit your character to change a colour or to help you pick another feat, or anything of that nature. If you have issues with your character you can delete it using the Sundren menu ingame. Alternatively if its a serious issue such as a game bug a DM can help you reroll a new character and give you back your experience/items.

Players who win Role Player of the Month get the opportunity to request one custom appearance for an item.

Are there any race restrictions on Sundren?

All ECL races, that is-- any race that have special traits that make them require more experience to level (IE Drow, Aasimar, Tieflings, Druegar etc.) are restricted by default.

Players who win Role Player of the Month get the opportunity to apply for a restricted race. They can use this form to submit an application on the help forum for approval.

The reason for this is to maintain a balance of respective races and to ensure that the benefits of more powerful races are given to players who will put forth the effort of role playing them.

Is Sundren a localvault or a servervault server?

Sundren is a server vault server. This means that all characters are stored on the server, not on the clients machine.

What kind of server is Sundren?

Sundren is a role playing persistent world. Players are expected to be in character as often as possible. We strive above all else to offer fun, engaging gameplay in a rich interactive environment, where additional rulesets provide challenging and intriguing gameplay. Sundren is a low magic server with an emphasis on the community.

How do I connect to Sundren?

First of all, you will require Sundren's Client Updater in order to make sure you have all the required files to join the Sundren.org server.

Please download the updater.

After you install the updater it will automatically begin updating your system before it connects you to the Sundren server. In the future when you decide to connect to the Sundren.org server you need only launch the Sundren Client shortcut from your "Programs -> Sundren Client -> Launch Sundren Client" menu. *If you have not created a Neverwinter Nights 2 multiplayer account before, see below. First, you need to boot up NWN2. Click the shortcut that the installation created on your desktop. Proceed to click "Play". This will, after a lengthy introduction scene, bring you to the NWN2 main menu. Here, you need to click the "Multiplayer" button.

This brings us to the "Bioware Community Login". If you already have a login, you need to enter it here and press "Sign In." If this is not the case, I will walk you through the few easy steps for creating one.

First of all, you need to press "Create New Account" in the lower left corner of the screen. This will bring up a box for creating an account. In the first box, you enter your desired username. In the following two boxes, you enter your password, making sure it appears exactly the same in both boxes. Then, you need to input your email address, and once again make sure they match. You will not need to go to your email to play though. The email address is only used in case you forget your password. Now, click "Ok." This will cause the server to register and authorize for a bit. After checking your version and such, it will gate you on to the multiplayer interface.

To access Sundren from here, you need to click "Direct Connect" and enter the following: "nwn2.sundren.org." It is very important that you type it all in correctly.

There, that is it! You're now set up and ready to access Sundren! You might want to proceed to create a character.

How can I contribute?

If you'd like to support Sundren, you can donate to help pay for server upkeep. If you're interested in volunteer opportunities, please see our jobs page. Regular users can help by reporting bugs they may find with Sundren.

Can you delete my character?

While we could delete the character, it is far easier for us to simply let you do so yourself. While in-game with the character you want to delete, use the delete option in the Sundren Menu.
