A few months ago, Atari dealt a blow to the Neverwinter Nights mod community. "No more premium modules for you!" they shrieked.
It was a huge downer. The premium modules program by Bioware had long extended the lifetime of Neverwinter Nights and allowed Bioware to keep up with the community by continuing to patch the game long after it would have otherwise become unprofitable to do so. It was basically the death-knell of Bioware support for NWN.
So it was a surprise when I woke up this morning to find an email, saying that Atari had released one last premium module, Wyvern Crown of Cormyr.
Featuring rideable horses, jousting and cloaks, the word is that Bioware was so impressed with it that they actually begged Atari to release it. And so they did, for $11.99.
Great news for the team, as word is that Atari's contracts with all guys working on the premium modules was they were to be paid only when the modules were released. When they pulled the plug, a lot of guys discovered they'd been working for nothing for months.
