Update: due to ongoing technical difficulties, we are moving start of beta to [no later than] 10:00AM on July 5th.  

Mark your calendars: July 5th at 10:00AM EDT, Khalidine finally opens for beta.  Thanks to everyone whose hard work brought us to this point, as well as to all of youwho h ave been waiting for so long for Khalidine to come to life. 

The format of the day's events will be mostly freeform, with a couple of starting story hooks planned for good measure.  Remember that we don't have a single overarching plot here -- instead we bring you a mix of stories over time- some will be related, and some will not. And sometimes, you won't find out which is which until much later ;)

While we are an RP server, we try to draw a reasonable line - if you make a good attempt at roleplaying, nobody's going to give you a hard time.

Just a couple of reminders:

Khalidine is a Neverwinter Nights 2 role-playing persistent world, scheduled for beta release in February of 2008.  Khalidine has a unique pantheon, history, and lore.  Here are some of our other features:

• Khalidine is a mature RP and action server.  We provide a relaxed environment where RP is required, but we also recognize that good RP can take many forms - and it isn't all based on talking.  Our focus on a mature audience allows us to keep the number of rules down to a minimum.
  
• A rich, detailed history that has its origins in a pencil and paper campaign.
• We are a full PvP server.  However all PvP must be role-played, and before any PvP may occur, all players involved must agree explicitly OOC.  Griefing is a bannable offense.
  
• Your influence in-game is not drawn from your level, but rather from your reputation with the myriad factions within the world.  This means that just because your character spends all of his time crawling dungeons and trying to gain XP does not mean that he will automatically be respected or influential in dealing with other PCs and NPCs.
• Personalized character development quests, tailored for your PC's history and future plans.
