That would be fun. I'm currently exploring Undermountain in Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark. It's one of the best dungeons I have explored in a game.What I really want to see

Oh that's understandable, especially considering past fumbles, but Tyrs Paladium is already feeling a bump in population in guild, and recruitment for THIS particular mod.
Something different is going on here.
Old School gamers and role players KNOW Myth Drannor. If they played the SSI TSR Gold Box Games - they know Myth Drannor. Synonymous with undead.
SSG needs to TAKE THEIR TIME and go ALL OUT and do their very best. Their goal should be NOTHING LESS than creating their best mod ever.

Could be a make or break moment. Trailer looked awful but if they nail the actual content could bring in new people. Server populations have absolutely collapsed this year, MMOs have to have a critical mass before they circle the drain. Hope they nail it. Lot of potential here.

I remember the same discussion around the release of Ravenloft - at the time MoR was considered a make or break moment for SSG (although i cant remember if SSG existed then?) but "they" delivered in spades, so I know "they" have it (or at least had it) in them.
I took a extended break a few years back and when I came back Saltmarsh (which I love) and Fables of Feywild (which I don't like) had dropped. Since then Isle of Dread (which I love) and Vecna (which was really disappointing to me) has released - so I'm detecting a pattern (real or imagined due to subjectivity) and it seems like every other release they get it right (from my perspective) so assuming my little hypothesis pans out - we are due for a fantastic expansion! I'm going with that assumption until its falsified.

Have to admit that the Gold Box set and the BG series are my all-time favorites. I have learned that not everyone is up to those standards, so leniency is given to most. Therefore, I will try and go in with an open mind when it comes to story narrative. As for the Gold Box set...I still have my old beaten up box to this day.
As do I, including my Neverwinter Nights Gold Box.

Since we've been the active Beta testers for 10ish years.. I'm actually surprised they delayed release... normally they just install the update then watch the ants scramble as everything burns

The final days of SSI saw Death Knights of Krynn, rockin' on the Commodore Amiga in 1991. It was all but over after this release.
All of the online RPGs of the 1980s were text-based MUDs, describing the action in the style of Rogue or Will Crowther's original Adventure game.
Stormfront's Don Daglow had been designing games for AOL for several years, and the new alliance of SSI, TSR, America On-Line, and Stormfront led to the development of Neverwinter Nights, the first graphical MMORPG, which ran on AOL from 1991 to 1997.
NWN was a multi-player implementation of the Gold Box engine, and was the most popular feature on AOL's service, raising between $5 million and US $7 million annually to the company from 1992 to 1997. It paved the way for later hits such as Ultima Online (1997) and EverQuest (1999).
And just FIVE years later... Turbine launches alpha for Dungeons & Dragon's Online. DD FREAKIN' O
So the moral to the story is this... Myth Drannor is sacred doctrine in the Forgotten Realms, the mere MENTION of the words MYTH DRANNOR strikes fear and death in the minds of ALL OF US that sat around a table to play D&D tabletop with our friends. Yep... you need to get this one right SSG.
