Chatroom: http://www.wickmark....mmendrech/chat/


Auto downloader: Yes.

Roleplay style:
Heavy, immersive

Dammendrech is a non FR realms PW; it has been up and running for very nearly four years.
The main features:
Level capped at 20
Low majik
Low gold
Slow levelling

Static quests:
Curently there are several dozen of these, mostly to enable a PC to reach level two. Not all quests are available to all PC's, some require a particular residency, or membership of a particular faction or class.

Playable races:
Human
Dwarf
Gnome
Halfling (known in the world as Lakkvarian)
Half Orc
Half elf
All elven races (renamed in the world)

Unplayable races:
Tiefling (known in the world as Daemonspawne)
All Genasi races

Playable classes:
Currently we use all but three classes (RDD, Doomguide and HW) but as with the races the classes are renamed to better fit the world.

Encounters:
Mainly quite weak and featuring only
1. Regular animals
2. Creatures that can be found in myth/folklore

Majik:
The superstitious mindset of the era in which Dammendrech is set makes the casting of almost any majik taboo. Expect bad reactions if you openly flaunt it in front of other PC's and casting in a town will get you jailed, or worse.

Players:
Our players come from all over the world. Currently we have a mainly EU/US playerbase, split roughly 60/40.

DM events:
There are DM run events on most days/nights, but it is expected that players will make their own stories that DM's can interact with and help the story along. These do not have to be massive events to be recognised. If it is an interesting idea you have then you can rely on DM intervention if you want it, not everyone does.

Can I change the world?
Yes, you can, both politically and physically if it is required. Obviously both must be done in a reasonable manner, and with staff approval. The latter is rarely denied.

Items:
You will not find anything that could be described as 'uber'. Occasionally, if the RP leads to it, items are created especially for PC's. These items will always reflect the events of a story, and are not just created to give a PC an edge. All our weapons and armour are made especially for the server, heavy weapons and armour are not generally available unless you join a particular faction.

Player housing:
Players may have as many houses as they wish, PC's can have ONE house which they can purchase once they have taken residency in a town and have the required funds.
All player houses are unique. They are built around the PC to the players specifications.

Also, expect some wonderful area design by one of the most creative builders in the community, which is the person who wrote that info above. Dammendrech is a dark and gritty world and the atmosphere shows. Don't expect any cookie-cutter areas, they're all unique, atmospheric and of a high building standard.

Maybe some additional info on the system... the xp system is modified to reward party play and while the leveling is slow, it's not frustratingly so. The first few levels go relatively fast to get you over the "killed by a rat" stage. Death (actually death doesn't exist, nobody "dies" in character) is handled with a debt system, no xp/level loss.
While Vulpina often likes using the term "hardcore RP", don't expect hardcoded systems some players might associate with the term - there's no hunger/fatigue system or permadeath. The heavy RP is all in the hands of the players and DMs, it's kept on an immersive level without any systems enforcing it.

I've been playing in Dammendrech for some time and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who looks for good a good RP server. Think more of real Middle Age rather than FR fantasy type (there's still room for a bit of fantasy here and there, but much less in comparison).

Also worth mentioning, a few mechanics (mainly armor) have been tweaked to make things more realistic. See the website (linked in Vulpina's post) for more info on that and other things.

Dammendrech does not use the default NWN2 auto downloader, we currently use one of our own making. There is a possibility that the default NWN2 downloader will be available in the future.

I like what your summary contains except that bit about not using the ADL - I think you really should have that implemented ASAP.  Just my opinion.
