Will it support community content (scripts, areas, etc.)? To what extent compared to NWN?
If some of us wanted to get a head start on learning how to contribute to the MMO, what scripting language, graphics tools, and other things should we try to gain skill at?
What number of players will a GM quest support? To what extent compared to NWN? (NWN did not do well with large groups.)
Will there be mechanisms to support large-number PC/NPC battles?
Will the MMO server take advantage of multi-core processors?
Will there be mounted riding and combat support? Other transport like boats, carriages, and saddled flying eagles and butterflies?
Will there be NWN-style area transitions or a more seamless environment?
Will indoor areas be visible through outdoor doors and windows? (eg. Looking through an open door of a tavern to see occupants, or evesdropping beneath an open window.)
Will the current NWN out-of-game systems be available in the MMO? (LORE messages, PC stats, etc.)
Will the current NWN in-game systems be available in the MMO? (eg. writable parchments)
Will there be support for henchmen and animal companions? In what numbers (single, handful, multiples of ten)?

More later, I'm sure. :-)
