Land of Nordock
Player's Guide
Written by Marc "richterm" Richter
Updated October 31, 2002 - Part 1
So you want to travel in the land of Nordock, eh? It's a dangerous place, full of mystery, monsters and a dark shadow that seeks to overcome the land. To the brave adventure comes fame, glory and riches. Or perhaps just the chance to live another day...
Nordock is a Persistent World. This means that many people can play it at once and all these players can work together, go off on their own or even fight one another. Rather than a linear adventure, the world operates more like an open-ended MUD or a massive online game like Everquest.
This open-ended nature may confuse the new visitor, so this guide is offered to attempt to shed some light.
A few things first:
• Nordock is meant to be run as a dedicated server. You can certainly load the module as a single player game, but will miss out on the fun of adventuring with others. On a more practical note, some of the monsters and quests cannot be completed by a single person.
• If you are hosting the module, I highly recommend turning OFF both Item Level Restrictions and Enforce Legal Characters. Otherwise, some things may break.
• I don't recommend local vault, unless it is on a private LAN with folk you know and trust.
For additional help setting up the module, please feel free to visit http://www.nordock.net/ and come to the Nordock Public Release forum.
(Note that nordock.net has been offline since at least 2013. Also, you can only load the Public Release as single-player. The version that we have up here is not downloadable.)
