We finally hit our breakthrough we were looking for and we're pleased to announce that EE is probably just a month away or so. This is partly what has kept me busy away from my normal DM event-running things (any why it'll still be slow for me for the next month). We'll be doing a push to get everything in order very soon and (hopefully) there won't be too much broken. If so, we'll just fix things as we go.
To reiterate, because it's still a common question I get: all characters/items/gold will be transferred over, although many will require rebuilds/maintenance to work properly because of custom systems clashing with EE systems. It'll be a slow process, but we'll get there together if we're patient. I'll be posting a proper explanation of the process so players know what to expect.
Because of the way our modifications work, we will have to remake some things from scratch. Therefore, know that when EE goes live, it's possible we may be short some features that we have now. But these are things we will be working on after EE goes live. At some point, we simply can't feasibly have both 1.69 and EE, so there's just gonna be a wee bit of overlap in development.
Either way, these things will most likely be available immediately:
-New Job System -Deity System (shouldn't change much if at all) -Mav's Prestige Classes -Dragon Disciple implemented in a non-buggy way (incoming changes will be posted separately soon once finalized) -Dream Coins will be transferred -New website
All in all, it's gonna be a firm push and we're gonna be diving headfirst into it this month. Some things will have to be delayed for it, but hopefully it'll be an smooth process for you guys either way! We're optimistic, but we do of course plan for hiccups and difficulties. Bear with us and soon we'll be in that fancy EE server list.
Have fun, guys!

The new Amia Website/Forum has been launched (though the information transfer is very much incomplete), so click the link below to go there and set up a new account. We're currently having some e-mail issues because the major mailservers have been marking some of them as spam and not even delivering them (gmail especially), so if you have any troubles with password resets or anything, let me know. It might help to whitelist @amiaworld.com in your email settings, but I'll probably have to send a ticket to the mailservers to get it sorted.
PM me with any problems you have. It's still in early access mode, but it is the final version.

DO NOT post this form publicly on the forums. Send it directly to Jes on the new EE forum. The PM link is here if you already have an account. If not, set up an account first and send it to me there.
Also DO NOT PM this form to me on these forums. My inbox is already very full and I don't want some to be missed. Send them on the new forum only. There's also a big link in the post above this one, so you can't miss it!
Send one form for each Amia login that you have, but keep all separate forms in one PM to me. Make sure to use the same NWN CD Key for each transfer, because characters are stored by CD Key instead now. (Edit) Logins can still be changed.

Morgan and Sons bank storage will no longer function properly. Get your items out of storage sometime before July.
There is intent to reinstate a banking system with EE. It just won't work the way it was implemented anymore.
Edit: In case it's not clear, this means get your items out of storage because they won't be there anymore after the switch.

It's almost July, so make sure to get your character transfer requests in if you want your characters to be available at launch!
Note: Dream Coins are linked to current Amia logins, so will also be transferred over with your characters. If you aren't submitting a character transfer request, but still want to transfer DCs, submit a request anyway. Just put "DCs Only" instead of character file names in that spot on the form.

We still have a couple weeks, but we do expect it to make the transition this month. Get these in if you want your characters to be available at launch!

Our new job system has been completed! Maverick and I worked hard on it to make it flexible and straightforward (but mostly Mav; he's a beast).
It's live on the test server in a room off the entry, so go ahead and play with it. If you find anything weird or that seems broken, drop me or Maverick a PM or messages on Discord. There's also a channel in the main Amia Discord server for EE Job System discussion.
To summarize, there are now only 20 jobs, with many of the previous job system functions represented somewhere in those 20 jobs, but they are much more condensed, with fewer recipes and fewer types of harvested resources. Examples:
A Smith can refine ingots and make weapons and armor.
Artificer has many popular recipes from Inventor and Arcanist, etc, like bandage bags, mythal tubes, and the like. Any of the magical containers are in this one, as well as several new functions we're excited about. You can even make bones wands and blank scrolls now!
There are much fewer different kinds of gems, metals, trees, etc, making it easier to find what you need.
Farmers and Ranchers will not be restricted to specific tilesets for their crops and animals. There's a new function for that now that can be placed in any area.
There are many new resources for your enjoyment. You can even gather peacock eggs!
There is no Map-Making function at this time, however.
Regarding your current merchant chests, we recommend not gathering anything else from the current job system, and taking a screenshot of your merchant resources. We'll have another update post for you regarding how/if we're going to be able to transfer resources somehow, as well as documentation for what all the jobs and recipes and resources are.
Stay tuned!

This goes with the post above this one! This is an initial release and more will be added later, but for now this is what we have for everyone! This spreadsheet is temporary until we get a better page up soon.
Feel free to look for errors, oopses, bugs or whatever else - both in the spreadsheet and in-game.

The transfer to EE will take place from August 11th to August 13th (Tuesday through Thursday).
We don't expect it'll take that long, but we have a bit of extra downtime allotted just in case of hiccups.

Starting this week, I'm going to encourage folks to start focusing on the new forums. If you want to use an existing topic, either make it fresh on the new forums with a link to the old, or ask for help from a DM who can do forum maintenance since we're still in the process of moving stuff over ourselves.
Throughout this week, I will be preparing these forums for archive mode, with the exception of existing requests.
Note: Archive Mode will still be readable, so you have more time than this to get any PC Stories or anything moved over if you want to.
