GameSpot’s RPG editor, Desslock, has written another article that talks about both the current clash between Interplay and BioWare and more on the issues concerning Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor. Here’s a snippet:

BioWare has taken ownership of the Neverwinter Nights boards, as you can read the press release. The release suggests that the plan to “nationalize” the boards has been in the works for a while, since BioWare apparently hired a new “community manager” a month ago. A number of you have written to me to express concern about the future of Neverwinter Nights, and I wouldn’t give claims that the game is cancelled any credence – these developments are far more likely just reflects BioWare’s ongoing desire to distance itself from the publisher it has become most associated with, as well as some acrimony between the companies because BioWare is suing Interplay for selling the European publishing rights for BioWare’s games without BioWare’s consent. I wrote last month the companies are currently in litigation against each other, wh! ich has likely created (and is evidence of the) acrimony, so you’re unlikely to see the companies cooperating with each until their litigation is resolved.
