Actually, the latter issue can make for some pretty good roleplay, as well as some nasty events whenever the DMs step in. That has been known to happen on the Prisoners of the Mist server, for one. "You come from Barovia, yes? Why have you come to Falkovnia? Maybe you are spy, I should think!" (Hope you remembered to bone up on your social Skills....)

The former issue might be a problem, though. Even if you have the Thay server, the Aglarond server and the Mulhorand server all sitting on the same desk and LAN-linked together, the game client simply doesn't offer any way for characters on different servers to communicate with each other. So if you're in Thay and your buddy's in Aglarond, Tells won't work, ravens won't work, using crystal balls on each other won't work, character locator doodads or Rest menu options (if we had any...) won't work...nothing but getting on your horse and riding to Aglarond would work. And yes, Neverwinter Nights just isn't as popular as it used to be a few years ago, so we might be spreading ourselves a bit thinner that way.

Okay, new plan: We all get together, pool our cash and buy out Electronic Arts. Then we resume all advertising, web domains and other support for Neverwinter Nights, maybe even release a few new expansion packs for the game to help keep things fresh. While we're at it, we can convert The Sims 2 and all its expansions to an MMO and relaunch a Mass Effect 3 that doesn't suck. I figure that Thayan should be good for a market share of at least 10%. All in favor? :)
