I was trying to do as CragOrion and not let this get to me, but I'm honestly just SHOCKED that the community I've been playing with for 10 years is not only this paranoid, but outright rude about showing it.
Peppermint, you have fair points and I understand 'Skeptisism", but the reaction I'm getting feels like more than just that. I don't believe I'm being attacked specifically, since the rage seems to be all directed at Beamdog. I'm just in the crossfire and I'm not really enjoying it. I don't have a right to judge or complain about people being hesitant or suspicious, but at the same time: They don't have to write, and personally PM me, nasty comments about it either.
I love this server and no matter what new game comes out and distracts me for a while, I always end up coming back to Arelith. I am not Beamdog, I don't work for Beamdog, and I'm not associated with them. I'm not getting paid for this either (Wish I was!) I'm an Arelithian, Loud and Proud, and I'm having fun on the Test Server. I read the discussions about people not wanting, or being unable, to pay for the pre-release and, like you said Peppermint, there were a lot of questions about it. SO! I thought I'd be a nice guy, donate my time, and type up my thoughts, opinions, and experiences from the Test server. I sure didn't expect to be called a fake and a liar for it!
If you can't be persuaded that I'm legit, fine. If you want to be "skeptic" or paranoid, that's your right. But just incase your mothers never taught you basic common decency allow me to educate you ...
IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!
I started this thread to share information with people who were curious about the Test Server or EE. If you have questions about it, feel free to ask them here. Clearly the DMs are tuned in, and I'm playing it personally so I can try testing things for you. This is the place to discuss the game, not corporate conspiracy or whatever-other nonsense.
Alright. Back to the good stuff.
My play time is a little restricted by the ever-present annoyance of IRL, therefore there will be a brief delay in me preparing the screenshots I want to show you guys. Please be patient. For all of you eager to join in and play on the EE server with us, I'm hopeful I'll get to see you soon. If any of you are newer to Arelith, or NWN in general, let me know. Tips, tricks, and advice are available. If you spot me on my char IG (Anvindr Drifter) send me a tell anytime, or even just to say hello.

Freyason, I know the feeling. There are quite a few scripts on the EE server that aren't up and running yet. I hope once some more stuff gets ported over though I'll see you join us.
To end this post I have a question for readers (The Nice Ones). Is there anything I mentioned in my original post that started this thread, in the descriptions, that your interested in seeing specifically? If so I'll be sure to get screenshots of them. Let me know!
ROLEPLAY FOR THE WIN!
