So looks like the rumors of Cryptic developing NWN Online are true...and Atari wants their ball back so they can give it to Cryptic.

Really who cares DDO is known in te industry as Ken Troops folly, not that Wizards is that bright to being with...after he made a total mockery of the D&D license they then gave him the new DDI and virtual game table project...which he immediately screwed up as well.

I for one hop Artari comes out on top in this one...a Cryptic D&D game beats a Turbine D&D game any day.

I for one hope Atari does NOT come out on top of this one. A publisher takes a hefty share of any profit a game might make, and if that publisher doesn't follow through on their obligations properly they seriously screw over the developer.

I had forgotten about NWN Online. This pretty much confirms its existence.

Cryptic getting NWN Online? OMG no... :(

(pssst give it to Bioware..)

I don't have anything against Cryptic but I firmly believe that anything Forgotten Realms belong should go to a company that can do story telling... :/

I don't want to see a NWN online game period. MMO conventions will destroy everything that made the games interesting.

uhh..you seem to be forgetting that Neverwinter Nights started out as The First MMORPG in every sense of the term. It was through Quantum Link, a C64 online community program, later known as AOL. AOL maintained NWN for several years before killing it, much to the chagrin of it's players, most of whom only had an AOL account to play NWN.

The fact that Bioware released NWN with minimalistic multiplaying capabilities actually annoyed most of us who loved the original.

(sorry for double post, this is where I meant to post this reply)
