The status of WotC own VTT (which should have been ready at 4Es release) is currently unkown and WotC is doing a reevaluation of its software projects (after having fired a good chunk of their software staff).Also VTT are never edition specific, so there is no old edition/new edition problem. Although I don't see WotC making a Character Creator for 3E or even including 3E races (mainly splatbooks) into their visualizer. I hate the impression that WotC is very hostile towards older editions and would be very happy if everyone switched to 4E.As for the game mechanics, 4E features so many interrupts and precise movement that its impossible to recreate that in a real time environment. The 4E combat system must be mangled beyond recognition to work in anything else than in a turn based system.Depending on what the contract between WotC and Atari says, Atari might very well decide to stick with 3E as they have less development effort and with NWN a well recognized brand whos wants won't appreciate a complete rule change (most PC gamers could care less what edition of the PnP their video game uses and many likely don't even know that there is a D&D PnP)</blockquote>
