I assume the login server is separate, and it's what does the updating, so that probably can't happen.

I use this time to play BG2EE. 

You know, because I need one DnD fix or another. 

I just need a portable DnD game and I'll never have any withdrawal symptoms!

You asked for portable, not pocket-sized.

And be careful what you wish for, the next-gen D&D games could be Dragon Crush or Drowjeweled or some shit.

As the game updating happens before you choose the server it's not really possible.

They would have to change the launcher to track down which server is in what version... And thats too much money spent on something that won't bring money for Turbine's beancounters

Don't think it was very popular. It requires 2 x A76 batteries, whatever those are/were.

oh wow, the game is dead already.  It didn't very long - maybe 6 months.
I guess the forum chat about it wasn't very flattering.....

Why is there still a website advertising it?    Huh

Didn't they release BG2EE and IWD for the iPad/Android?

Just Googled them. Apparently they're still being made. Might have to get that Mattel game after all!

Yep. Strange. I could/did not try it myself before as I have an old silly Windows Phone.

First one I played a little on a friend's C64 was Pool of Radiance.



The first one I myself had was Curse of the Azure Bonds.
