Starting the list:
Mistmoore (My personal favorate)
and So on.
Anyone with suggestion on follow up zones please feel free and post.

Be careful with this if you freely distribute these modules as there are copywrite issues involved and the EULA of NWN.
If you make them and give them to your closest friends no one cares but I believe (and I"m NOT a lawyer so I could totally be wrong) freely distributing copies of things that are copywrited by someone else is illegal.
Just giving you a heads up, you might want to check into things before re-creating copywrited material. Ester The Tester

NWN's Toolset is really limited, in respect of fully recreating EQ zones.. if only it was like Morrowinds WCS.. oh, one can only dream. Anyways, there will be minor differances in layout, spelling etc.. last thing I want is Sony knocking at my door unless it's for a job!
Thanks for the heads up though, and Glip thanks for the spelling correction.

Meh, it's not like a haunted vampire castle is exclusive to Everquest or anything.
In fact, the only reason I wouldn't choose to do something like this is because you're stuck within somebody else's realm of fiction. Less creative freedom. More, uh... fanficity.

I hate to break it to you but if it's recognisable they will be knocking on your door. Honestly it would be better to try to do something origional that is your own than try to re-create Norrath.
I would guess that the Sony lawyers (and yes they are as good as their reputation) will be watching for these types of things. Ester The Tester

Yes. Just like it would be terrible if VI ever stole anything from TSR .
If you are going copy it, change it just enough.
As far as creative works go, Norrath would be a far shot from my first choice to derive from. IMHO, there are just so many superior creative works out there to draw (steal) from.

that's right you definately shouldn't try to recreate EQ officially. Just like I shouldn't be trying to recreate the pool of Radiance module.
Actually no we shouldn't be but using it amongst a couple friends is different than spreading it to anyone on the net who wants it. so just keep your circulation low and I would think they won't mind too much, but be ready to yank it down if you get someone knocking on your door.

After hours and hours of testing, I really cant achieve the level of detail I want.
Not given up hope though, have to create a few tilesets first.
Anyhow,

Make an East Commons mod, complete with Sergeant Slate (20th Fighter) who is hostile towards everyone.

Is there any way to import 3D models in any format into the module creator? I'd think you might be able to take the world converter from hackersquest to convert to a 3D program and then edit the models to place into NWN modules? (Yeah, I"m sure this would get you sued or something. but lets play theoretical.) --------------------------
