Main page IWD?

Bustication

Apologies if this is a redundant thread or old news, but a quick scan of the forums and twitter yielded no information.

The main site at baldursgate.com is a blank page with the title Icewind Dale at the moment. Anyone know why?

I can't reproduce it, but if it really happened it would be a GREAT hint!!!!

@Sylvus_Moonbow‌ That's exactly what I was thinking!!!

I suspect hackers.

Phew, what a relief. I was worried it might be "Planescape: Torment".

@Sylvus_Moonbow‌ where is that picture from? Is it a GUI mod for IWD2?

smeagolheart

He said it was from PAX

@shawne‌ I'm going to check planescapetorment.com right now!

I think the background for that picture is from temple of elemental evil.

Elminster for the win!

I'd like nothing more than an announcement for another Enhanced Edition of another IE game. That screen is nothing but a mock-up, and it wouldn't be fair to pass it off as anything otherwise, even though I tried to be sneaky with it. xD

With that said, I'd also want them to finish the patches for BG:EE and BG2:EE before announcing another project that will pull them away from Baldur's Gate importance.

Oh! To credit the picture. Someone made a mock up of Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition GUI, and I used that. I'm unable to find the original author, but they're a member of this community, and now I can't find the picture again.

@Sylvus_Moonbow There were definitely a few of us scratching our heads about it. The biggest area of contention is the spells in the upper left. If there had been a bet, I would've won. #teammockup

An IWD:EE with new joinable NPC's sounds like a ton of fun. Although IWD3 would be super awesome also. I would think the former would be a much easier project to get done in a reasonable amount of time. There are just so many improvements that can be made to the existing IWD series, it just seems like a prime candidate for being remastered.

No use in over speculating though. I'd rather get excited once I have some concrete information. It isn't much fun to start over hyping yourself for something that never comes. Regardless, the fan inside of me is pushing hard for another IWD game, either EE or new. We will just have to wait and see. ((;

A brilliant spy work by @Bustication‌ ! What a revelation! It's funny and quite telling how quickly this community catches any news regarding IE games:)

The idea of IWDEE is further confirmed by comparing the cached version of http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://icewinddale.com/ and the current version of http://icewinddale.com/ .

Obviously, the only thing that is missing on the current IWD site is the countdown. Remember what we all saw the very first time on http://baldursgate.com/ ? It was a simple countdown timer. And we know Beamdog loves countdowns.

So I think we should expect a countdown timer for IWDEE. When? Well, maybe starting with PAX or even earlier, so that at PAX they will reveal what that countdown is all about.

P.S. by @elminster 's words:
IWD:EE!
