The Harvest Moon Consortium

Conclusion: The City of Arabel has always been one of the best experiences I’ve had when playing NWN persistent worlds. The fact that this new team has made that experience even better for their customers is awesome. They have been innovative in seeking out new and creative solutions to give their p...

I changed the cover of the book to make it look more professional. Yep, that's Lauriella though a different alternate world with a different timeline so that I could publish it. It's a wonderful book.

I am learning from my mistakes. I'll put it on here:

Players: In 2020 I wrote this about the players of The City of Arabel: Players are a mixed batch here. There are some really good role players and some not so good role players. The good thing is if players and dms find a not so good or new player they will help them along without being cannon lawye...

DMs: In the last review I did on this server, I wrote: I do not think I have encountered a better DM team as of yet than the DMs on this server. They did everything. They looked at PC backstories and used them as props for adventures. They created their own adventures. They worked together — sometim...

Discord Tickets: I've always had a problem with Discord tickets. My problem with them has always been the same: they’re impersonal, detached, and usually leave the customer with a bad taste in their mouth. You open a ticket, it gets tossed into a pile, and you feel like you’re talking to a wall. I h...

Economy: Here we hit a very bumpy road. The Economy. I see in my last review of The City of Arabel I did not mention the economy at all. There are two reasons. 1. I had not done many reviews yet and did not know how to handle what I saw on the server. 2. The economy is graded very heavily against th...

I want to add one more note for anyone who read the announcement above. I’ve never been comfortable asking for donations. My readers have supported my writing for years, and I don’t believe in asking people for money when they get nothing in return. That’s just how I’m wired — very much a value‑for‑...

General Game Play and the XP system: General gameplay on The City of Arabel is very different from a normal server. You start at 4th level, and the world only goes to 10th. The world itself is far more brutal than most. You will die often unless you build something extremely durable, such as a Fight...

Scripting: I’m going to paraphrase and shorten what I said in my last review. Lots and lots of good custom scripting They have come up with a lot of scripts like moving through game paths between trees to get to otherwise closed off sections of areas to jumping across small ravines. They do get a lo...

Terrain/Area builds/Placeables: On my last review I said: “I am a bit disappointed with the overall area builds. They are very simple with not many placeables (except for crafting supplies). Placeables do not cause any lag for those of you that wonder about them. They can cause extended load times. ...
