Descriptions of active PW projects and their features/qualities, plus events scheduling

Neverwinter Connections (NWC) just recently finished putting together a list of recommended multiplayer mods for community use. It was based on direct experience by a number of current and past NWC DMs and players with a variety of different types of classic NWN mods, along with some more recent releases that proved to work well in multiplayer.

NWC would like to be able to provide a similar resource for the player community regarding Persistent Worlds. Unlike running through a multiplayer mod (with or without a DM), it's just not possible - or would take a lifetime - to directly experience all of the PWs in the community. Because PWs are always being updated and changing, people's mileage may also vary on the experience, based on when they were last active.

The goal therefore is to get as many official (or at least quasi-official) descriptions of PW projects as possible among the active community, beyond what you can get from the server lists that are out there. To that end, Neverwinter Connections encourages PW admin/staff and those with similar standing in their projects to use the Persistent Worlds Announcements [EDIT: link typo fixed] for that purpose. This can include anything from general information about the PW project, to announcements about specific events scheduled on a PW server using the Neverwinter Connections calendar. Posted events can be open to the public, or restricted to existing players.

Please also note that comments in the Persistent Worlds Announcements forum will be moderated.

    Forgot to mention that when there is a critical mass of active PW descriptions, I expect to make a link page off of the Neverwinter Connections homepage, and will highlight PWs with scheduled games.

    Oops, fixed a typo that crept into the above PW Announcements link before (how?!?). Sorry about that.

    Wanted to mention that this is still ongoing. Also, PW events on the calendar are now labeled "PW:" to help players find them more easily, versus other types of scheduled games.

    PW project descriptions contributed by the community have been manually migrated to the new, integrated Neverwinter Connections forums. You can find them here: https://neverwinterconnections.org/forums/2181849

    Contributors who want to update their PW description and have future edit access to it on the new forum are welcome to make a new post (even if just copy/paste), at which point I'll delete the manually 'ported one.

    As mentioned above, NWC welcomes new posts in the Persistent World Announcements forum by PW project members. Share your server's unique experiences and what players can expect while on it.
