Ironworks Forum - Back up! Need Donations
Borrowed a friends old CPU and Motherboard just to get up back up and running--even if it may seem slower, we are needing help raising donations to buy a new motherboard and Processor. Check Ironworks Forum for further Updates!!

Ironworks Forum - Another Quick Update!
Been working on a temp fix to get IW up so more can know about the server for donations. I am borrowing a similar motherboard that may work tomorrow (Friday).

As of 2 am Fri Morning, we have $70, which is awesome so far! I'm going to have to buy the same MB--as its from 2005, and ALL the ram, vid card et works with it, and there's a few on eBAY for $170-$220.

I'd rather do that then buy a new/current motherboard, and have to buy all new ram, a new CPU etc, because I just can't afford that. Wish I could! :-) Stay tuned, if this temporary fix works, we will be back up tomorrow! (with Choc's blessings, eh?)

Ironworks Forum Down - Update
So far, it won't even make the desktop of the OS without crashing with a Blue screen. I'll keep trying to mess with it, but it looks like the Motherboard is dying fast. If you can donate, this is the time! :-) Thanks! More news soon!

Ironworks Forum Down - Server Issues
Well, the crashing got worse, and it wasn't the RAM as I assumed. It may be the Motherboard, or the Hard Drive. (all data has been backed up, so we're fine). If you could help out, because I'm broke, I may need to buy a new/used Motherboard for the server. Click on the Logo below to help out!!

Screenshots from The Updated Witcher!
We've posted some screenshots of the upcoming RPG game The Witcher on the Ironworks Forum, they are simply amazing. Go check them out, FAST!

Huge Upgrade for Ironworks Forum!
The last major upgrade for the Forums was in January of 2001. This upgrade is even larger! We have moved from the old UBB Forum software, to the much more robust feature set of vBulletin! Along with this upgrade, new forums have been added, as well as a separate Entertainment sector, and Technology sector!

NWN2 Patch released. 80Mb
Hope you have a fast connection to the internet, because the first patch for NWN2 is 80Mb, and was released the same day NWN2 was released in stores. Don't you just love that? This says that Obsidian Entertainment allowed shipment of the NWN2, knowing that the game had serious bugs and issues. This isn't the first time these guys released a substandard game either!
To patch your NWN2 installation, click the update button in-game.

As Expected, NWN2 a disappointment.
What is it these days with PC Gaming. It seems game developers think it is ok to release half completed games full of bugs and a broken interface that looks extremely unprofessional. The player characters are actually MISSING animations, and the game runs 4-10 fps even on high end PC systems. Amazing... I would be embarrassed if I were you Obsidian Entertainment. I will have a full review after I finish the game.

We Officially Boycott EB Games and Gamestop!
These two companies that were BORN from PC Games are now trying to get rid of PC Games. They just want to sell console games now.

IW asks you to NEVER shop at either of these corporations for your PC Gaming needs. They could care LESS about PC Game buyers, and it shows. Out of the entire store now, we PC Gamers are left with a tiny end-cap for our selection. Don't support a company that is killing PC Gaming.

Tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW to boycott 'em. Screw em!

Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold!
Soon, we shall have it in our hands! Although it has received some negative comments, I think NWN2 will do well. The new Toolset is a LOT More advanced now! But as I have stated in the forums, so many red flags have come up, I warn you, read all the reviews on this game before you buy it.

New Hakpak coming in November
With over a year in the making, this new hakpak will feature all new placeables, monsters and tilesets, as well as icons and everything else. Made for the Ironworks Neverwinter Nights mod, Escape from Undermountain, it adds twice as much content than CEP did, and as good a quality! Something to hold us until NWN2 is out, and when it is, we'll be making content for it as well! Below are just a SMALL taste of what's in the hakpak:

Dungeon Lords Patch Released!
Thank god. With the very shaky release of the very buggy action fantasy game Dungeon Lords, a patch was quickly released to fix many nasty bugs and makes the game much more enjoyable. Shame on the play testers for missing these bugs. You can download the patch here: Download Patch Site II

We're now making NWN Models!
Now that I know how to go about making 3D models for Neverwinter Nights, I am now making a set of Monsters such as the Kuo-Toa, Kenku, Thri-kreen and a few others. Also, I am making Awesome new placeables, icons for items, and tileset pieces! I have decided to redo my NWN Webarea into Modding support area, where you can download all the best hakpak's, as well as the stuff Ironworks releases, and full support for our 24/7 NWN Mod, Escape from Undermountain, that you can play online free, right now!

I have been working on the new NWN webarea, and it'll soon be finished and will replace the old Neverwinter Nights area I never finished. I plan to make it unique, and something you can't find elsewhere. I mean, there are hundreds of NWN fan sites that you can get cheats, walkthroughs, and what-not, so why make another? Let's make something that no one else has! Loads of content, and all free!

Daily and Weekly Updates are back!
We've been really busy with Ironworks Forum as well as a few other projects, and haven't updated this News page in a while, but that is all changing, so stay tuned, because we're BACK to daily and weekly updates, and finally new Webareas such as a new World of Warcraft area coming soon!

Neverwinter Nights 2 News
Yep! The news we have all been looking forward too is here! Obsidian Entertainment, Atari and BioWare are going to be working on it. View the following links for the news articles and other news on it. The release won't be until 2006, but that's okay. NWN2 Forums | Official Announcement | GameSpot | IGN
