What is the original Neverwinter Nights?
Neverwinter Nights (NWN, or oNWN, as it is now frequently called) was a multiplayer fantasy roleplaying computer game that was hosted by America Online for about 6 years. It was based on the Forgotten Realms Advanced Dungeons and Dragons game world created by Ed Greenwood of TSR and modeled on the “Gold Box” AD&D computer games created by SSI. NWN was the first true graphics-based online fantasy roleplaying game. NWN first went online in 1991 and was closed down by AOL in July, 1997, displacing a community of thousands of loyal players. Over 20,000 downloads of the second edition NWN software had been recorded by then.
