Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation

Edit: Neverwinter is not part of the NWN series. It just uses the same setting.
Edit2: Started watching the video. The whole thing about "mobile combat" is nothing original. Positioning and movement has been part of WoW since its release and has increased in importance with every expansion.

Not to be an ass but that's 22 years not 32.

Can't say I'm too interested in this. I consider myself a MMO aficionado, and there is really nothing striking about this one, at least from the Videos.
I like how they implemented At-Wills, Encounters, Utilities, and Dailies, but the video didn't really make it stand out beyond that. I am also a little confused by the 'positioning' comment as that is fairly common, as pointed out above.
I will probably mess with it when it comes out because it is free, but if there was a cost associated I would probably pass.

An eventual release of a DnD 4th ed game?
I couldn't find any details when I had a look, but I've always thoughht that 4th ed was made for computer versions. The limited amount of abilities just stinks of toolbar buttons.
