Just found out that today is the last day that you can buy NWN Diamond Edition through GoG. It is $10.
Instead, GoG is promoting EE.
With EE, you can get Diamond Edition.
Price is $20.
EE could be worth going for, if they ever quit having all those updates!
We'll look into this after the New Year but it will take a LOT of work.

We are trying to request to GoG to bring back NWN1 Diamond Edition. If you are interested, this is what we have been sending them:
Dear GoG,
I am a long time player of Neverwinter Nights. I am writing this to request that the Classic NWN gets put back as a separate game. Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition is not a 1:1 replacement and does not offer backwards compatibility with NWN 1.69. Due to this, many server admins continue to use NWN1.69 due to the 15+ years of development they have put into their worlds/servers. In order for players to join those servers they still require to get a copy of NWN 1.69 which is now not available.
Please restore the classic version of Neverwinter Nights Diamond Edition 1.69.
Thanks!

One other note.... GoG is selling EE and DE for a special price of $14.99
But who knows how many updates we're going to have before they get things smoothed out?

I received a reply and this is what I replied back:
I am not a GoG subscriber although I have referred players to GoG to get NWN1 Diamond Edition to play on our server.
I don't know about these "tickets".
I had sent my message because of a concern that you are trying to push NWN:EE on us when we all are enjoying the simple NWN1 Diamond Edition. Some of us Old Time servers don't know how to convert to EE and thus our servers will go down. Some Old Timers want to come back to play on these old servers but since they are FORCED to buy NWN:EE in order go get NWN1, they probably won't take the effort.
Please make NWN1 Diamond Edition as a single download, separate from NWN:EE
NWN:EE has been proven by many to be a big problem with multiple updates which will just frustrate gamers. NWN1 is nice. Complete. Players having fun making new content for NWN1.
Come to think of it, is it legal to bundle Diamond Edition with NWN:EE when they are made by different companies?
Thank you,
Jenee, Admin of NWN Kissmet

I have EE if it helps ....
I recommend getting the steam version of EE , it is slightly more expensive that way, and I don't care much for steam itself, but access to the workshop and ability to back-roll the crummy beamdog updates a plus too.
Gog and Beamdog NWN:EE loaders, auto-update and do not have an ability to roll back versions.
So when Beamdog throws out an update , no one can play on a server, until the server updates.
Now , the EE is fairly stable as far as Updates go, they are doing the " who the hell cares about something so obscure and minor" stuff now. I think if it's anything like Baldurs gate they re-mastered , it'll keep being updated until it dies in sales completely.
Server wise, I am unsure of ...as I hadn't tried hosting any myself. But I would doubt its any harder or much more to it than NWN Diamond servers.
The biggest boon, as I was telling AuroraSilverwolf about EE is that it's graphically better , it's also much more user friendly to get online and play ( on steam version at least, that's what I have experience with. ), it runs better on my machine, than the old version as well.
I personally think EE is worth the switch over. In Fact "Natasha" , had a hard time convincing me to fix my old NWN and get the Kissmet haks to come try it.
I also think, EE version is the way to go for attaining new players and increasing player base. Steam itself has a steady influx of NWN:EE buyers. More absolute new players checking it out , than are buying Diamond off GOG or other sites.
By the way, pleased to meet you, Aurora has had a lot of good things to say about you. I look forward to checking out the server more too.

I have to agree with Bene, as a long time kiss player, I would love to see it come to EE, RP servers are extremely popular and booming on there compared to anything else. I can say with full confidence that Kissmet would become populated again without doubt. I will say having some experience messing with the new NWNEE and servers, it can be alittle tricky in the sense of swapping things. However from what I've noticed, its mainly when you convert from 1.69 some small minor things break. Nothing crazy unless you have some very extensive scripting. Even then the amount Beamdogs verison lets you do now is crazy.
