I don't think this is a good idea, mainly again with the information upkeep discussion thing. Also it will inevitably be biased either surfacewise or UDwise.

Well, at the very least it would be nice to have a general introduction to the server. "There's Amia island, with place X and Y which are like Z and Q, and Citadel A has historically bad relations with Hole B. Boats sail to the Ruathym and the Frozenfar, which are like this-and-that. A stable portal connects Wiltun to the island of Khem in the Old Empires, yadda yadda."
Faction stuff might need a bit of updating, but I reckon some of it is good to mention. At least stuff with physical representation in game. "The churces of Lathander, Hoar and Kelemvor reside in Nes'ek. Those of noble intent may apply to join the Defenders of Kohlingen" or whatever is up-to-date.
You know. Something to give new players an idea of what they can do in Amia, and get them excited about it.

*yawns* Alright. I slept it off. Is there going to be a mention made in the neverwinterconnections to post Amia? *still can't believe she forgot about that site*
I just ..haven't been on there as often because I stopped playing RoA for Amia. No attempts to look up when RoA scheduled their games since Amia has been so engaging to play on. *coughs*

IC Introduction:
Traveller,
Your vessel sails towards the Island of Amia, an island full of mysterious adventure and intrigue amidst a wide variety of cultures, geographical locations and a plethora of compelling reasons to travel upon our lands.
Whatever your interest may be within reason, we can provide. For the Scholar, there is the Monolith of Mystra on Ruathym isle, the Living City of Tarkuul and the Triumvir, a place of learning for those of more Bardic Inclination. For the Warrior one can find amongst many of our locales a variety of challenges to face or test oneself. The Skull Crags, the cold islands of Brogdenstein, the Forests of Amia, and the cold arctic like lands of the Frozenfar and Howness all provide great and potent challenges to test one's mettle against their foes.
For the Religious, there are many a places where one might make Pilgramage on our island. The Holy City of Kohlingen houses a shrine to Bahamut, and a temple dedicated to the Triad. In the region of Nes'ek, Temples of Lathander and Hoar as well as a Cathedral dedicated to Kelemvor might be found, if one of those faiths suits. A large complex dedicated to the goddess Salandra can be found in the Benwick Hollow region of our isle, and even Eilistraee holds a shrine.
Do not be alarmed by the reports of the Underdark being more actively exposed to this region, for as well resides an Elven city known as Winya Ravana, as well as a Dwarf Citadel known as Barak Runedar within our region, so those of you who hail from similar settlements can find a piece of home not far away, and for the Halfing and Gnomish peoples Bendir Dale is but a Cart ride away from Cordor. Even a part of Mulhorand, the Khem region is but a portal's travel away.
And, good sir or madam, should you be of more Merchantile bent, you need look no further then Cordor, the City of Trade. With it's many shops and connections to lands beyond and nearby, Cordor can provide anyone of any walk of life with a fresh start and a clean chance to become what it is they wish.
Upon arrival to our lands, if this is your first time traveling to our region please disembark at Cordor and follow the directions of your friendly Commonwealth Guardsmen to the Temple of Waukeen where your Amia experience might begin.
Happy Travels,
Rufus Oaksmith, Ministry of Finance, Trade and Commerce, Information Division Commonwealth of Cordor

The ministers in Cordor know about a great many things, and Trimuvir has been around for quite a while now. Given how freely people speak of it the location of this plane and it's existance being a case, would be fairly public knowledge now to anyone who asks around about interesting locations.

Just because I'm silly like that, I googled "Neverwinter Nights Servers" In order, what you receive as the top four hits are:
Neverwinter Nights: Stand Alone Server. pooh. No one is going to to there. Except they do since it's Bioware official site. If the official site doesn't know then who does!?
NeverWinter Nights Top 200: Servers, Modules and Walkthroughs. ...alright, more people would likely go there. However in the top 50 Amia's not even a blip. But neither is Arelith but I digress!!
Neverwinter Connections. Some might go there and perusing their forums, Amia's had one mention along with Arelith as a PW with in depth Role Play. Literally. Mentioned once. *is still composing a post for the forum to blurb you guys but someone on the DM staff has to register Amia on there apparently.*
Neverwinter Nights Lair - NWN Modules, Revies, Downloads and Resources. Interesting site, it actually is. Looks rather bright and upbeat, can't beat the blue.
Weirdly IGN wasn't even up there on the top five and NWNwiki was further down than I'd imagine. Very surprised there. Perhaps it is a case of not only word of mouth but spreading the word like casting seeds across the fertile lands of the net?
With that being said....can I steal some introduction to Amia stuff from this thread? XD

So, okay: Aside from a lack of mention of Banites, are there any major criticisms of the current IC intro page I put up? (if none within the next 12 or so hours, I'll add a Banite reference in
I was thinking of a larger work, detailing every region in its own short paragraph. But this is cool, too.
This stands out, as Kjetta said:
"Even a part of Mulhorand, the Khem region is but a portal's travel away."
It's not really a part of Mulhorand, so something like this:
"Portalways can even take you across Faerûn, onto the island of Khem in the Alamber sea. There you can experience the traditions of the Old Empires of Mulhorand, Unther, Thay and Chessenta, partake in a decisive clash of civilizations and travel the burning hot sands in search of ancient secrets."

I'm surprised no mention was made of "nwvault.ign.com'

Even typing in "Nwn server list" nwvault doesn't even come in at the top 10.
In my off time, I tend to roam the net and help friends by googling at random word combinations that might lead to their websites. I googled "neverwinter nights servers" and "nwn servers" and nwvault did not even get a blip.
For the first word combo, NWC came in 3rd and on the second combo it came in 10th but it still came in on the first page and if the net has taught us anything, it's that folks rarely push past page 3.
BTW, since apparently this couldn't wait (or I was impatient which is known to happen), an initiative rollwas taken.
I've also noticed that the website and the forums don't clearly refer to Amia being a "Neverwinter Nights" role-playing server. Perhaps a small addendum on the main page with the following:
To play on the Amia servers you will require the game "Neverwinter Nights", including the two expansion packs "Shadows of Unrentide" and "Hordes of the Underdark".
Good eye Avid!! And going to google persistent nwn world and see what I get.
*plays Jeopardy thinking theme*
Results are....wow...
Bioware still falls into the #1 slot with others servers underneath. Marking Amia as a 'Neverwinter Nights Persistent World' may help push them up on the googling and everyone loves to google.
I google You google We all google.
I did mention I'm insane didn't I?
