Bioware Community Newsletter
Posted Monday, October 28, 2002 - 18:27 CEST by Z-Layrex

Bioware have just today released Volume 1, issue 1, of their monthly newsletter concerning all things Bioware.

This month we're treated to a whole bundle of goodies from all over the Bioware globe, including highlights of 100nights, an update on the ever growing series of Witchwork modules, plus news of what's big in the Neverwinter Nights fan-based community.

The newsletter opens with a rather unashamed boast on the success of their hit CRPG Neverwinter Nights:

"With Baldur's Gate, we sparked a role-playing renaissance; with Neverwinter Nights, a revolution."

Taken from one of our early promotional videos, those words are now becoming a reality. With an active, registered community of over 500,000 strong, Neverwinter Nights has been taking the gaming world by storm. At the time of this writing, there are over 1,500 player-made modules available on the Web, some of those achieving over 50,000 downloads each.

According to GameRankings.com, only four PC RPGs in history have achieved an average review score of over 91%. Three out of those four (Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Neverwinter Nights)were developed right here at BioWare and the other (Planescape: Torment) was powered by the BioWare Infinity Engine.

If you haven't picked up your copy of Neverwinter Nights yet, there's no better time than the present. Live the 100+ hour Official Campaign by yourself or with a party of your friends. Continue your adventures by weaving your own story with the powerful BioWare Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset or by adventuring in worlds created by other members of the fan community.

If you already own the game, make sure you create an account on BioWare's Official Neverwinter Nights Community Site: http://nwn.bioware.com/ so you can stay involved in the community and make the most of the Neverwinter Nights revolution!

There's also coverage of Bioware's upcoming RPG for the PC and X-box, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
