the reasoning is rather simple. They have made a game with such advanced, memory eating graffix, that there is little to no way that the average pc can host it. Their latest work around for this is that it will be alot easier to hook up one PW to another, since everyone who wants to play will have to dl the mod anyway. While the abillity to hook up 1 PW to another is a good thing, they forgot that lots of hosts/builders have different styles, and different allowable magic item levels. For example, Zs PW, could be hooked upto mine very easily, no more than a regular area transition type from his to mine. But, Z- has made his PW with higher end Magic items, where my PW has very limited ones, and to compensate for it, I would have to put in scripts to strip out most of the PCs items. Players of Zs would hate comming into mine and getting all their gear removed.

Because of this way they have made it, A pw the size of Zs could be done, but he would have to host it in upto 4 different mods, on 4 different machines. extreemly lame of them to think that anyone has the money to run, buy, 4 machines with internet connections, and keep them all up 24/7.

As I posted above, I refuse to buy the game. They can quote Bio-Ware that it wasnt made with PWs in mind. I fully understand theat Bio didnt make NWN with the PW in mind, as the PW wasnt born yet. It came about because of the funtions of NWN. Obsidion on the other hand, knew full well how popular NWN PWs are, Saw how many people played them, and Are even now requesting that PW, as well as SP builders contact them to give out their beta toolset. The Sad fact is, OE ignored the PW part of NWn, and decieded that the best thing for NWN2, was the soloplay aspect. They even went as far to say, "we are making this game for the play it once and shelve it crowd" I certainly hope, that they reach their target, and find out what a stupid plan it was.
