Hasbro and Atari resolve D&D rights dispute

[Legacy_SuperFly_2000]

               The most ridiculus legal dispute in history seems to have ended.

Can this finally bring new hope for us that are hoping that a new NWN1-like game?

...and for people like me hoping for one solely focusing on multiplayer (?).

I don't hold much hope for the upcoming Neverwinter game by Cryptic. Now they have even been bought by Perfect World...who just like Cryptic focuses on making grindfest cookie cutter MMO's...so we can all see where that is pointing...besides that the whole project is being seriously delayed.

I'm almost putting more hope on the Facebook game (Heroes of Neverwinter).

Also perhaps now Atari can publish more (other) D&D games?

Perhaps even ANOTHER publisher can make a D&D game?

This DOES open up for more interesting fantasy/D&D games right?

Although I believe that it doesn't really have to be a D&D game...but can just like Dragon Age, use its own D&D similar system.

               The Facebook game will most likely play like Deep Realms or Dragon Age Legends - since that format seems to be really popular over there.

               The upcoming Neverwinter Facebook game probably needs its own thread but I am actually expecting something a lot more advanced than Dragon Age Legends....as turn based combat has been promised in this game.
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Pstemarie]

               Yeah an they call Deep Realms turn-based combat '>
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_SuperFly_2000]

               Yeyeye...its a Facebook game after all...we all know it wont replace NWN lol...

So...the other more important question remain:

Will someone else do it?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_WebShaman]

               Hmmm...I wonder what this means for the last patch of NWN2?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Androrc]

               Is it possible we will now get the premium modules back at the store?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_SuperFly_2000]

               Sell the game at more places than one?

Get the master server up?

[Legacy_WebShaman]

               Yeah, now that Atari is "out"...shouldn't the way be free now for EA to add support for the NWN legacy games?

I mean, there is no longer the rivalry thing going here, right?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Eternal Phoenix]

               So you think we could get NWN3 or something?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_WebShaman]

               I doubt that it will be called NWN3.  But if we get lucky, perhaps something similar.

               There is still the issue of WotC's hostility towards third edition...
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_WebShaman]

               No way around that!

Pathfinder is the true path here...hehe.

Aye. Although I prefer edition 3.5, Pathfinder seems the closest we can get right now for a CRPG.

Perhaps rather than another Neverwinter Nights, we can get a Restov Dawns '>

Not a problem.  Go back to 2e. '>
