It's really good to see some of the comments people have been voicing. I urge you all to get involved and at the very least put your 2 cents in.

Thank you to all of you who have shown your support thus far. This is an exercise in grass roots activism. We may not be able to affect the change we would like to see, but at least we can make our voices heard.

I have added Bioware’s, Atari’s, and EA’s contact information to the petition. We are over half way to our signature goal, please consider voicing your support. Some of the comments people are posting really show this is still important to a lot of people even a year later, and even with the coping mechanisms the community has developed.

Signed.

If folks complete the Bioware survey (Thread 2 in this "General Discussion" forum) there is a section in there where suggestions are sought, I mentioned the legacy forums there.  If they are asking for suggestions the must be a decent chance of them being read.

I just thought about it again and the best option for us is to start a petition for a NWN enhanced edition. Trent Oster said he is to 85% satisfied with NWN so there is still 15% motivation left for him and his new Team to go back and finalize it...

A NWN Enhanced Edition is more probable, especially given the recent release of an updated Baldur's Gate and current developments on the WotC side concerning D&D's 5th edition..

I am not sure if I see the relevancy to this topic, but go for it I say.

I think the relevancy is the relevance nwn plays for anyone offical who was involved. Bio, atari and wotc! W/o the option for them to make again some money worth their attention i doubt they bother to even consider our little island as important...

but i support this petition anyway and whatever else good for nwn and us;)

Indeed, that makes sense. I guess I was not understanding what an enhanced edition entailed. I don't think you need a petition to do that though. Make a thread, I will chime in voicing my support, as I am sure others will as well. A thread with a couple thousand views, and hundreds of players interested in it should get their attention. To keep the discussion going, you might ask for suggestions too for things that could be in the "enhanced" edition.

When Trent and his Team has released BGEE i think the time is right to start making a bit presure for it. But right now they are just to busy with fixing UI bugs lol... And this petition is important enough to be on the first page so others join in and show their appreciation for nwn mp and PW´s still today imo.

Dear everyone,
I am declaring this petition a defeat. Bringing back the Masterserver, and Gamespy service is almost certainly not going to happen. But I do believe that the NWN 1 community has come up with, albeit not perfect, but sufficient alternatives to these losses of services/functionality, and furthermore Bioware has done their part in informing the community about the situation, and disseminating the information regarding the alternatives that exist.

I want to thank the community who came up with the work arounds, the players who voiced their heartfelt opinions and sadness at the loss of these services, and Bioware for not abandoning us and for giving us a show of good faith by doing their part to inform people about the current state of things.

Even though this petition did not have it’s original intended effect (full restoration of these features), I consider it a victory in the sense that it affected positive change within our community, and I want to thank you all again for being involved. We had over 230 voices speak up, and had this been started when we first lost the masterserver I have no doubt it would have been 10x or more that. Everyone should be proud for their participation in this grass roots activism, and happy it resulted in something positive, and grateful to those who made it happen (first and foremost the community members who came up with the alternatives.)

Love and respect to you all.
Sincerely,
Lazarus Magni
