World of Torr
From NWNWiki
The World of Torr is a persistent world created using the Aurora Toolset developed by BioWare for the game Neverwinter Nights. It requires the original game as well as the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark expansions to be installed prior to joining in and playing. At the moment of this writing version, 1.68 is the required patch version. World of Torr went from beta testing to its release version in December 2004 and has received updates ever since. The game world centers around the base concepts of what a persistent world should focus on to appeal to a large audience for a lengthy period of time. These concepts are to provide a sandbox realm with many different opportunities presented to the players to choose from, and to avoid having a hardline policy for forcing roleplaying or any specific kind of gaming style. It is amongst the few persistent worlds to be shown recognition from the Neverwinter Nights community by being included to the Hall of Fame of Neverwinter Vault.
The gameworld, since its conception, has gone through many phases in development and transformed the way many think about persistent worlds in relation to MMORPGS. The codebase for the project has been released for public review and editing as of March 2008, and it is available through World of Torr's website.
