Hail Cormyrians!
I’m proud to announce the formation of the FRC EE Discovery Team!
The Discovery Team will work with the DM Team to vet FRC’s needs against NWN EE’s capabilities so that Justicar and the DM Team can decide how best to migrate FRC into the new platform.
FRC is a large persistent world that pushed the limit of NWN’s resource capacity years ago. Clever steps have been taken to work around the game’s limitation, including advancing the use of third party community software called Neverwinter Night’s Extender (NWNX). NWNX allowed FRC to continue committing resources beyond the game’s design limit which enabled continued expansion of dungeons, player housing, custom summoned creatures, crafting and more features that we’ve enjoyed.
NWN EE hasn’t increased the game’s resource limit and FRC is a larger game world now than it was before the above advancements were made. When considering conversion we look to NWNX:EE (Nixie)’s potential to help us. Nixie is a new NWN Extender written from scratch and works with NWN EE. Nixie has a solid development but it doesn’t yet have all of the features that FRC benefitted from to get where we are. Therefore, FRC still faces challenges converting to NWN EE given our size and the limits of the game.
The Discovery Team will work through these issues with the aim of converting FRC to NWN EE smoothly and without losing anything we’ve gained. If tough choices are needed along the way, the Discovery Team will offer the best options to Justi & the DM Team and decisions will be announced.
While the Discovery Team focuses on its task, the Build Team will continue working on current projects. However, there will be a freeze on new projects being adopted.
With this announcement we are creating FRC EE forum space for FRC Community NWN EE discussion. We’d like to hear about your NWN EE experiences, good and bad, and any questions or concerns you have. The DM and Discovery team may raise polling for feedback as we consider issues and work will go into producing an FRC EE FAQ so please post your questions.
FRC’s forum rules apply to these discussions so please refresh on them if you have any uncertainty.

In due course an FRC EE Playtesting Team will be formed and we’ll be looking for volunteers. Please be sure to sign up if interested
