It was never not. It sounds like a good way to play an apprentice and mentor or something like that.
I'd say if someone wants to play multiple characters at once, they can either play a druid/ranger and use their animal companion, or a wizard and use their familiar, or become a DM and control up to 2^32 at once.

Is it counted as a third party?
When one day the rules as written on the forums give an answer to this, even a peripheral one, then too shall I smugly quote the paragraph for you.
Until then who knows.

There isn’t a rule against multiboxing.
However, I don’t encourage it because sharing routers tends to lead to bugs and other issues with the server. Also it’s sometimes impractical to roleplay two characters at once as in some situations it can be construed as a breach of the “no metagaming” rule (sharing info between your characters).
So overall it’s not something I’ll endorse, but I’m not stopping you if you do as long as you mind the server rules. In a PvP situation the rules are followed as written, but if you want clarification from the DM Team please PM them directly.

But what if I'm playing two characters who are in a party and one of them is attacked by another player (we'll assume everyone is following the rules)? Can my other character intervene? Does he have to have RP'd hostility in the build up to the fight too, or is an ally jumping in to help a logical assumption?
Normal PVP rules apply.
Your characters have different personalities and should act according them but in conformance to PVP rules.
So your Puppet A may decide to murder your Puppet B.

Yes, it is allowed. However, running multiple personalities in parallel is tiring, and NWN2 interface is not robust enough for this.
Try running 3 puppets with distinct characters and motivations while talking to a crowd of 20 people and you'll get the rough idea.

Yes, your characters are third parties relative to each other.
All normal PVP ruiles still apply.
