[edit] Quantum Computer Services
The name of Quantum Computer Services' network was Quantum Link. I have edited the reference in the first paragraph to represent the service name, and stated that it was a venture of Quantum Computer Services.
I'm not that happy with the sentience structure, and will verify that Quantum Computer Services was still around in 87. If it was, great, I'll rewrite it. If not, I'll rewrite it that way, referencing AOL as what was to come. Pyrogen 11:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- Quantum Link was their C64 service, later followed by AppleLink and then PC-Link. Quantum Computer Services was the corporation name, later changed to AOL. Coll7 02:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- i have no real idea what you people are talking about, but i still have a computer with both NWN and AOL installed. the last time it was able to go online was in 1993 before the poor thing stopped working with modems. now i don't know why it is claimed that AOL was called this at that time, but my bank notice is also on that computer stating a charge of over $800 to America Online for the hours (@ $5.95/hour) i played NWN. what i woukldlike to know is why then AOL is being claimed to be called something different? and even form the AOL article this timeframe is off. "After the two companies parted ways in October 1989, Quantum changed the service's name to America Online." so during ANY time in which NWN was on AOL, it was AOL already for at least a year. shadzar|Talk|contribs 12:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for clean up
This article could use some reformatting to bring it up to the quality I see in most other articles on Wikipedia. Neverwinter Nights would be a good example of a good article; perhaps add the sidebar, a screenshot, and clean up the text/reformat it to create some paragraphs. Add sections as well.
I hate to dump this task on someone else's shoulders, but I never played this game; elsewise, I'd do it myself. FarFromHomeFish 08:28, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
- It also needs citations. Things like this cannot stay in the article without a credible citation Some users bragged about monthly game bills of $500 or more --Crossmr 21:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
- I've performed a basic cleanup. Someone more familiar with it (I'm into D&D but never played this particular game) can perhaps work with the specifics a bit more. --Crossmr 21:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

- Citations added. Coll7 02:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Forgotten World
Should I expand the derivative of Neverwinter Nights (Forgotten World) on the same page or would it be wise to opt for a completely new link? The problem I see is that there's already a game called Forgotten World. N0manarmy 21:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- This would probably be fine unless you think it would be excessively long?--Crossmr 21:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- It wouldn't be too long. There's plenty of information on the external page about the game and when it expands in the future I'll revisit the article. At this point though, talking with the developers of the game, they'd be interested in seeing more information listed. N0manarmy 21:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah that would be fine to include it under derivative works then.--Crossmr 21:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gameplay
The Gameplay section doesn't describe whether the game is real-time or turn-based. Do you control one unit or a party? Etc., etc.. Only the tournament style is described; basic gameplay information is omitted. SharkD 05:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] UA?
The graphics look identical to Unlimited Adventures. Is there any connection? The Jade Knight 01:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NeverwinterNightsAOL.gif
Image:NeverwinterNightsAOL.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
