Wayback Machine has the domain listed as far back as 2000, but apparently never an official site. As late as January 2010 it was a "domain for sale" page.

So there's no confirmation of authenticity. Take of it what you will.

And for those wondering, the Infinity Engine is Bioware's flagship engine that powered Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate II, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale II. It has since been replaced by the Aurora Engine, which powers Neverwinter Nights 2.

WHOIS records can be faked and aren't verified... I've done that a dozen times myself. Very Happy

But if Trent said that himself, OK then. Razz

Looks like I've learned something new then ^_^

Regardless of what's up with the site, I'll be watching this.

Add to the top part of the source...

- Pore over the tapestries and works of art hanging from our walls if you wish, Child of Bhaal... perhaps you will find a clue. But patience, ah... patience would reveal it all. -

And at the bottom...

- As the silver moon waxes and wanes, so too does life. -

And latest tweet from @TrentOster

Apparently, owning a URL can start a lot of speculation. http://www.baldursgate.com #Baldursgate

I would only be skeptical because the server is a virtual host on an IP address which hosts 4573 Total Domains -- usually a sign of a low-budget indie project, but not impossible for this to be official and simply using GoDaddy hosting for convenience.

If they are remaking BG I would be all in favor of that, I still have Tales of the Sword Coast on my hard drive as we speak.

Really... Will be watching (both because I was a fan of the original, and in case anything ARG-y develops, unlikely as it is).
