If it went the way I think it did then I certainly can't blame Joe for selling the rights (or for not discussing a commercial project with anyone). This is his livelihood after all.

I'd best add that this all happened while Joe was in hopsital recovering from his kidney operations so it's all a bit mysterious as to what actualy took place (stuff was probably arranged beforehand but that's when a public announcement was made).

LWO was a commercial project driven by the company Magnamund Studios. Then it had to (for reasons I am not sure if I am allowed to type here) be converted into a free fan driven project, still with a license, while Magnamund Studios closed.

The Ksatria game did not "steal" or interfere with LWO's MMORPG license, but Mikaël Louys, CEO of Magnamund Studios and later the driving force behind the fan project, got very upset by some facts that were revealed to him, gave back the MMORPG license to Joe and dissolved the project.

Would you happen to have Mikaël’s e-mail address? He seems to be French; with some chance, he lives not far from me and could point me some other French fans.

And thank you all for your informations!

My ideal LW computer game would be a Magnamund version of NWN - the opportunity for both a singleplayer RPG and decent numbers in multiplayer, without having to worry about monthly subscriptions.

As for NWN, I guess you already know of Papermonk’s solo module, pre-book 1: Test of the Sun and Mysteries in the Night (see there for the modules and the hack pak). A Third module was expected but never finished.

Oh yes. They were quite well done too but seemed to have an "american" feel to them with a few things that just didn't seem to fit into Magnamund or the Sommlending culture. I can't really describe it, it was little things that you pick up on subconsciously.

That aside, it was a really good pair of modules .
