Rumor: Atari to announce Neverwinter Nights MMO

[Garix]

I will wait and see. Personally, I've always thought DDO made two really terrible decisions upfront:
1. Eberron. With all the campaign worlds to select from, Eberron has to be one of the worst in my mind. It's not a particularly popular campaign world and it really doesn't have a very "D&D" feel to it. It also has serious balance issues you have to overcome (ie: Warforged and 'high' magic content).

2. Active combat system. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice idea. But not for D&D. Turbine effectively had to toss the D&D combat system out the window while preserving just enough of it to throw what could have been a decent combat system out of whack. The result is all sorts of wonkiness where you've got a system where ranged is worthless, 75% of the weapons are nothing more than vendor trash and armor is pointless.

Ok have to disagree with both these points.

If Forgotten Realms had been used, I would of cried. Its just been done to death by all and sundry. Time to move on.

Active combat.....um..thats kind of why I still play even after 4 years. No other games has it. Keep trying LOTRO and its always the combat that freaks me out.

Edited to expand second point slightly....I know it isnt true D&D, but I don't believe D&D can ever translate well to a MMO (4th Edition might but I know nothing about it), so they ahd to do something to make it fun and I believe they achived this pretty well

just my 2cps worth
