BeamDog is Down?

I can't seem to log in. To any server at all. Is BeamDog down for maintenance or did something go wrong?

Looks like it. Noticed the same thing and came to forums to see what's up.
Augh. Am I going to have to touch grass or something? I don't wanna.

"Augh. Am I going to have to touch grass or something? I don't wanna."

You,ve touched grass before? What was it like? It looks gross.

PS. You'll excuse me for not knowing how to do forum quotes. I'm getting old.

For anyone who's not aware, hit the "Direct Connect" box and type game.nwnarelith.com:5123 in the Server IP Address window.

That will get you into surface, the other server addresses are on the Portal.

Very convincing high-fidelity physics based rendering. I would recommend it 10/10 but unfortunately much of the outside content is behind paywalls (p2w) so, personally, I'd steer clear.

I couldn't even get to the Direct Connect portion, because it stalled out at the 'master server list' portion and wouldn't let me do anything but back out.

Fortunately, there's a well documented solution:
https://wiki.nwnarelith.com/Connecting# ... connecting

tl;dr, make a shortcut to nwmain.exe and add a line at the end of the path (instructions within) to skip all the movies and nonsense, and log right into a server.

I see what you did there. :D
