Overview

Avlis presently consists of nine servers, each running within its own virtual machine. Each server comprises a specific part of the World of Avlis and player characters can travel from one to another just as simply as traveling from one in-game area to another - provided they know the way, of course!

To connect to Avlis, start NWN and press Play, followed by Multiplayer and then Join LAN Game. After that click Direct Connect and type the address for the server (see below). You may also use Direct Connect in the Join Multiplayer option, which will save each server you join to your History tab to make future connections easier.

IMPORTANT: Please ensure you are registered with our own authentication server before you can log on to any of the Avlis servers.

Passwords have been removed from Avlis. The world is now open to all that wish to join. However, you are still required to initially register, read the rules, and commit to the philosophy of play on Avlis.

It is recommended that you start on Le'Or T'Nanshi. This server has been intentionally set up with special areas for starting characters. Mikona and Elysia are also good starting locations. After you have gained some experience and learned a bit about the world of Avlis, then trips to the other servers will be more survivable. All of the servers now share the same hakpaks, which can be found on the Needed Files page of the Wiki. You will not need to download more content when changing servers.


Server Connection Information

If you have trouble connecting with one of the servers below, you can try replacing world.avlis.org with the IP address: 198.101.12.59

Mikona

Server Address: world.avlis.org:5121

This was the first Avlis server to be built and contains the M'Chekian capital city of Mikona and its immediate surroundings.

This server consists of T'Nanshi's forest floor, the Northern reaches of the Blandenberg Protectorate and the South-Westernmost borderlands of Drotid.

The Wilderness server once also comprised the areas that now make up the M'Chek server, thus references to the Wilderness made on the forums prior to March 2009 may also refer to that part of the world.
