I would assume it is set to Don McLean's "American Pie" Nice take on it Sargy

ahh, never went to Red Queen. Yes I know about the lawsuit. All to do with the naming of Badlur's Gate: Dark Alliance i believe. yes, Interplay were initially going to be the publishers.. note, publishers, not developers. also note "going to be". They didn't publish it in the end, Atari did i think... I don't believe that at any time during the time Interplay were onboard with NWN that there was a forum for it. too early in development.

Umm, given that I never ever posted at any "new" interplay boards i am curious as to how I amassed such a high post count... perhaps I have a doppelganger. Indeed the BIS boards did have post counts, but they were removed part way through its life, I believe to prevent spamming such as "The Dot Story" that some people might remember. The old old Interplay boards I seem to recall were orange and black in design and had a horrid interface. The BIS forums were not unlike these Obsidian ones in colour scheme. The BIS forum existed long before Torn was announced. I have no idea what Red Queen is. Something that came along after I left? Interplay were dropped as publishers of NWN long before NWN was released. BIS and Interplay had nothing to do with it so I doubt they hosted its forums. NWN was always at the Bioware forums. I'm not sure if the Bioweenies were "booted" from the BIS boards. They launched their own forum to coincide with NWN online content stuff as I believe was always their plan. Bioware was on the way up, and BIS, sadly, was on the way down. Bioware launched their forums on 17th October 2001. I know, because I made my account on launch day and that record is still shown at those forums. Not that any of it matters of course.

The BIS forums came out before BG2 was released and looong before NWN was released. BG was at the old Interplay boards Same for Torment For a long time, BIS *Was* the BG2 board. IWD also. They also incorporated Torment and BG1 Bioware opened their boards in late 2001 and all NWN stuff was tied to it.

David still works at BioWare and is lead writer on the new Dragon Age: Origins game. Apologies for the thread necromancy, I suppose some people will hate me for it, but when I found this thread, it dug up some memories for me and I wanted to say hi to the familiar names, Imoen, Deraldin, Grommy, Sammael and probably others I have neglected to mention as well as those who will inevitably arrive after me. (You'll have to lock it if you want to stop those!) I see I make the hall of fame/shame lol. Those were the days. I never have since, and doubt I ever will again, dedicate so much time to one forum again. hehe Not sure if anyone knows who I am or remembers me, but if you do, I hope they are good memories.
