Even if the master server went, we should be able to find a way to keep it alive. Like he said, as long as people keep playing and paying to keep the lights on, we should be here. Looking at this:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=122879 I see about 6 months paid in advance we have in the bank, and that doesn't count the regular subscriptions. We haven't had to "ask" for help in the form of a donation drive for a very long time, which is good, but I don't see the surplus growing atm either.

New stuff is always being developed for nwn to this day. New nwnx plugins (a new one is out that I really want to mess with), new tilesets, new scripting and even funky new graphics that try to take advantage of the better machines the game is run on.
Check out the NWNCQ stuff if you haven't already

If/when I can run it properly, I'd be diving into improving it too. I'm kinda crazy that way, and like to make stuff I like better, even if I have no clue how at the start.
