Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    I don't think this is anything official. The domain was purchased late last year (was previously just a parked page) and it has private WHOIS. Website itself is on GoDaddy.

    I agree that it's likely just a fansite. I can't say I didn't feel a twinge of excitement at first, though.

    Interesting. Domain lookup comes up with next to nothing level of info on this, too.

    Still like that track, also.

    Edit: NOT quite sure this is a fan site though. A fan site probably wouldn't use a third party to register it (Domains By Proxy, LLC).

    Also, redefines what fantasy means by completely reversing the traditional role of elves as oppressed minorities, and introduces completely new and original races like Orcs!

    BG is done. The prot is either a god or rejected godhood. They might use the name, but at best it'd be something-something-something Bhaalspawn, something-something-something incomplete.

    I highly doubt HASBRO/WotC signed a deal to work with EA on the D&D licence, so it's probably boring shit like the BG series being put on the shitty Origin site.

    My money's on a HD remake or some other shit (BG now on Steam/Origin)

    Googling Trent Oster leads to an interview about the MDK2 HD remake he was working on (another BioWare game).

    Considering that Interplay published both games, presumably getting some of the profit and that Herve needs monies now that they can't lie to investors with the Fallout Online bullshit (how the fuck are they still in business), it wouldn't surprise me.

    Why would it? The dude who registered the domain left BioWare to found his own digital distribution platform.
