What's going on with the rights to Neverwinter Nights? I know there's the Neverwinter MMO, but it's not officially counted as part of the Neverwinter Nights series, just a similarity in name due to the city in Dungeons & Dragons.

neverwinter nights is not on the auction block, so ether atari doesn't own the rights or they are keeping it

in other news, RCT series have not been sold, the price seem to be to high for most companies  but like THQ and darksiders, it more then likely that the price will go down

That's a shame if the license just falls into limbo. Those games are some of my favorite video games of all-time, and I'm not even a D&D guy.
