well, none of the 3-D CRPGs is more popular than BG series, and so why goes to 3-D when the 2D graphics serve the game suffiently. Of course you can always imagine how much more popular BG series would've been were they 3-D games...but since 3D or not doesn't seem to be a deciding reason of a successful, popular CRPG, imo it's rather pointless to guess whether a 3D SoA would be more or less successful.

Personally I only care for Single Player compaign of any computer game, and so I have zero interest in a MMORPG BG2. As long as I have the solid single player compaign that's fine (NWN doesn't give me that and so I couldn't go over the game twice). Besides, I think we have more than enough MMORPG now (=weak single player compaign and designed for online gaming), an online BG2 will be just another MMORPGs, while the BG series we have now is unique. Let BG be BG just like letting PT as PT.
