Nox

Graphics

Instead of using 3D accelerators, Nox relied on the MMX protocols to create many graphic effects, including the spells.

Installation

Instead of the regular installation like InstallShield or DemoShield, the custom installer of the game explains the backstory and "history" of the world.

Online servers

The game's online servers were migrated from the official Westwood Online infrastructure to the community-run XWIS (XCC WOL IRC Server), under approval and sponsorship from EA's German office on 20 October 2005. The Westwood Online domains have acted as a redirect to XWIS services since then, requiring no additional steps from the user to access the servers short of registering an account.

Title

Nox is Latin meaning darkness.
