Anyone else heard of this? Stumbled onto it today and have to say I'm interested. If they can pull off what they are promising I'd be extremely excited. Lot of fond memories patrolling various roleplay servers on Neverwinter Nights!

I love UO, but I can't get into this. It's more NWN than UO by the look of it, and I just can't see how they could mix.

It might be different if I was seriously into multiplayer NWN, but I never found a good server for it.

And I was not interested because it didn't seem enough like NWN for me. :)

I didn't even look too deep. Didn't get much past "ultimate Sandbox MMORPG".

Never played NWN multiplayer.

NWN multiplayer was a blast. But it was highly dependent on the Persistent World you were logging into or the module you were all playing. NOT all developers are created equal.

I am hoping for the best here but it is too early to get excited yet.

Never played Ultima, but ever since DungeonForge fell through I've been hoping someone else would be able to pull off something like this.

And I agree with Aranna. The server you ended up on made or broke NWN Multiplayer. Some servers I played on were great, some communities were wretched.
