Just as a side, NWN's was a much-loved game of mine. But its lawless hack-filled public servers were my main reason for packing it in and moving on to PTP. Never again will I play a game that can potentially be ran (DMed) by a 14-year old child who decides "j00 haXord" or "J00 sux0rs" and boots, bans, kills, abuses you on a whim. There was a mention of power-tripping GM's. If you want them go to the public servers on NWN's for a prime example as these people don't get paid for it, own the module and server and basically abide by noone elses rules but their own.

Now now, don't get me wrong I can hear you NWN's fans screaming. I will add that the above are worst-case scenarios. There are defo. some nice servers out there, but it's just with all the BS one can become jaded during the search for them. The game itself is not flawed, but the lack of rules and official policing (like Luvian said, there is no central server) make for this kind of potential. Has happend me lots, on many servers in many sections (from action to RP to PVP to Social). This game I would now only play privately with some friends as really the disclaiming "Online experience may differ" does no justice to it at all.
