The Great Toolset Disappointment of '06

This was originally by several forum members from the Neverwinter Nights 2 forums. The following describes their feelings concerning the various problems with the pre-release toolset dates and delays. It is by no means a balanced account the events, but rather, a comedic take on the events.

The Great Toolset Disappointment of '06 occured in the early hours of the morning on October 1st, 2006. On this date, the Neverwinter Nights 2 toolset was scheduled to be released. As thousands of people, who bought the pre-order pack, from all around the world waited in anticipation for their download, the clock turned to 12:01, and still, there was no toolset. Hours later when all the time zones declared it to be past midnight...still no toolset. The Neverwinter Nights 2 forums flooded with threads 50 pages long. People are desparately waiting, and there is no hope in sight.

Meanwhile - the rest of the world went on, unaware of the great tragedy.

Chronicle of Real time Events:


 * I'd like to see someone figure out what happend to each previous release date including the current lack of one. Such as "On 30th of sept. at 11:00pm EST, so and so from Atari put their head up their own butts and forgot to tell anyone"

List of People Who suffered due to Atari and Obsidian's incompentence:


 * Cauzway - He lives in Ottawa, Canada. He hates Atari and Obsidian and this is the 2nd night without sleep.


 * Jecrell - His mouse ran out of batteries after trying to scroll through the 40 page thread.


 * Teh_Kommadore - One of the few who was there from the beginning
 * Zanbato - Creator of the original 'The Great Toolset of Disappointment of '06' entry
