if it is pay to play, like most online games these days, You can count me as one who wont buy it. There is nothing there about the toolset, or the DM client, 2 features of NWN that made it in their words "the #1 CRPG" Why is it everytime some company tries to make a sequal to thhe best game I own, they always start cutting the core features that made the NWN so good? If I was less of a person, I would flip them a bird and tell them no thanks. So I guess I'll just say no thanks, and try very hard to ignore the bird impulse.
