It couldn't last forever and obviously it hasn't: Bioware has confirmed that Atari has pulled the plug on the Neverwinter Nights premium module program. They've also said 'no' to any further patches. Any modules that were in development for the premium program have officially been canceled, although don't be surprised if you see them get a free release.
The NWN community is obviously a bit bummed, but we've got to hand it to Bioware and Atari for not putting that old mule to pasture a long time ago. Neverwinter Nights' premium module program is a great example of why episodic content can be great for gaming: it allowed Bioware to support the game far after the point where it would have become unprofitable to do so, introducing new features at the request of the mod community that allowed them to create more innovative worlds for the rest of us to play in.
Let's hope Atari sees the sense in a similar approach to Neverwinter Nights 2.
