ALFA



A Land Far Away (abbreviated as ALFA) recreates the Forgotten Realms in digital form, playable via Bioware's Neverwinter Nights computer roleplaying game and its expansions, Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.

A Land Far Away is one of many groups in the Neverwinter Nights community that maintains persistent world servers, and is one of the examples of how Servers can be linked together—allowing for the creation of large multi-server worlds.

ALFA servers dot the map of Faerûn—both above ground and in the shadows of the Underdark. Each server represents a distinct area of the continent of Faerûn, from Icewind Dale in the frozen north to the Pirate Isles in the Sea of Fallen Stars. Each server is linked to those nearest it by a portal system so that player characters may cross the dangerous marches of one server to its border and travel far away, if travel be in their nature.

To play on an ALFA server, a player must apply and be accepted to ALFA.

Today, ALFA has over 3000 members on its webboard, and hundreds of players in-game on various servers at any time.

With the impending release of the next version of Neverwinter Nights, the members of ALFA have been working industriously to learn from their experiences and create an even better virtual world.
