New Player Instructions

Avlis is implemented as a persistent world for the Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition (NWN:EE) roleplaying game. To register, follow these steps:

Step 1: Register on the Avlis Forums

If you haven't already created an account on the Avlis forum, please register here. The forums are an integral way to communicate and participate with the Avlis Community, both out of character and in character. The forums can enhance your role play experience, and give you an offline way to interact with the world. They also contain a wealth of information. You will also need a forum account to let us know you want to register to play here!

Step 2: Create your NWN:EE Player Name

The Player Name is the name you type the Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition (NWN:EE) Multiplayer Options. Check EE Tips and Tricks to see how.

You can use multiple player names, if you wish.

Returning Player Instructions

Step 1: Transfer your CD key file from NWN v. 1.69

If you are a returning player (you played on Avlis Neverwinter Nights v. 1.69 in the past and want to continue playing the same characters), you need to transfer your nwncdkey.ini file:

Click here for instructions, if you acquired your NWN:EE copy from Good Old Games (GOG).

Click here for instructions, if you acquired your NWN:EE copy from Steam.

Step 2: Enter your GSID as your NWN:EE Player Name

The Player Name is the name you type into the Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition (NWN:EE) Multiplayer Options. Check EE Tips and Tricks to see how.

Once you have completed the CD key transfer, enter the player name you used on NWN v. 1.69 (known as Gamespy or GSID). Please note that the player name is case sensitive (e.g. Orleron is not orleron).

Returning Player FAQ

I am a returning player and I get a message "Your player name is already in use" when I try to log in.

If you receive a message such as Your player name is already in use and you have followed the transfer steps above, please send a forum message to avliswebadmin with your player name.

I am a returning player and cannot remember my original player name. What can I do?

We may still be able to reunite you with your player characters. Please send a forum message to avliswebadmin with your player name and the characters you used to play.

I am a returning player and I used multiple CD keys on NWN v. 1.69. Which one(s) should I transfer?

Pick one -- does not matter which one. For pre-EE characters, the Avlis framework checks the player name (formerly Gamespy or GSID) and NWN v. 1.69 CD keys. In order to get access to your characters, you must have played them under the same combination of player name & CD key before.

I am a returning player and I followed the transfer instructions but I do not see my characters.

Remember, the player name is case sensitive. If you are positive that you have entered it correctly, please send a forum message to avliswebadmin with your player name and the characters you used to play.

I am a returning player and I see an error or other problem when I try to play a specific character.

Refer to the Broken Character Help Thread on the Avlis forums or ask for help in our Discord server, Chat with the Team.

I used to play on another CoPaP world on NWN v. 1.69. Can I continue to play on Avlis in NWN:EE?

Yes. Any pre-existing player characters (PCs) from other CoPaP worlds, who have logged into Avlis prior to the migration to EE, are saved on our side. You will see a version of your PC from the last time you logged into Avlis. Please note that any PCs you play on Avlis cannot be played on other CoPaP worlds at this time (as of October 01, 2022 there are no active portals between Avlis and the rest of CoPaP).

It has been a very long time since I played on Avlis. What are the current custom systems and tools?

There are several ways to review those at-a-glance. [1] In Game: Talk to the ASK AWAY! NPC guide in any Avlis server's start area. A copy of the guide has been exported on the Avlis Wiki (ASK AWAY). [2] Avlis Wiki: Browse the Systems and Tools directory. [3] Avlis Wiki: The Avlis Command Prompt contains an index of all chat commands for all systems.

I used to have player housing, persistent storage or merchants but they are gone, or I lost access.

Please check Player Housing Archivals -- your options depend on the type of property (player made or made by the Avlis team).
