[edit] I don't think WotC endorses this anymore

If anyone has ever gone to WotC's website, they list all of their franchises on the homepage of the website. This game isn't listed there, which leads me to believe that the game is no longer in print.

Correct. The game was announced as being discontinued in 2002. Apparently WotC wanted to publish an elaborate number of guidebooks and expansions to the series, but Robert Jordan didn't have the time to approve everything (despite giving his approval, he later complained about non-canon elements in the game which had escaped his notice). WotC also proved surprisingly lukewarm in marketing the game, and even today many WoT fans remain unaware of its existence. This is probably because the game emerged at the same time that WotC were concentrating on their own products, such as the 3rd Edition Forgotten Realms campaign setting that they launched at the same time this came out. As a result, it was decided not to publish any more material for the game and the RPG rights reverted to Jordan about two years later.--Werthead 14:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citation

Couldn't you just cite the books themselves as sources?

Absolutely. Assuming we are following Wikipedia's guidelines, the books themselves are viable sources.--Werthead 14:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
