    Ok, you you found us out. It was all just an eleaborate and expensive gag to fool you and you alone! Remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!

    Nah, they just sent a newsletter to just about every subscriber to a Cryptic/Atari game to come check out the new NW site as an April's fools joke, only two months late :rolleyes:


    PS: What will happen from now, till the time the game is actually scheduled for release is yet to be seen (we aren't there yet), but I think that opening up a game site/forum and sending a mass mail for people to come check it out means that they're at least serious about attempting to see this through. What will happen precisely is something we'll just have to wait and see to find out.

    Well they clearly aren't going to make this push for something they've decided to can.

    But they aren't commenting on the impact of the purchase. Clearly they've negotiated keeping the rights to ship a D&D product even though Perfect World is not Atari. Looks like Perfect World gets to act as developer and Atari the publisher in this case.

    So either they've just not got the marketing message written and ready to deploy or they aren't sure about things.

    I half think this website and the publicity is testing the waters. Checking the interest for NWO. But that's just a guess.

    It is interesting to see them pushing the Foundry. That makes me think they are understanding the legacy of Neverwinter. Even if they don't allow PWs (which is clearly my thing), they may capture enough of the NW spirit to make it a worthy successor. Which is something that Hasbro and Atari could very much use at this point.

    It's a complicated matter, end of story. You'll know when they want you to know...

    Well, as I understand it, Foundry was originally decided with Neverwinter in mind (though with the idea that it could spread across all games on the Cryptic engine). So it makes sense that they are pushing it.
