NWO is the new D&DD

Welp I guess most of you are wondering what the D&DD stands for? Remember that failure of a forgotten realms game made by Atari? You know. The one that was SOOOOO bad that they had a high % of charge backs that they had to cancel making the other 2 of the trilogy? Yea that, Dungeons & Dragons Daggerdale. That is pretty much the path that NWO is taking and unless there is a major overhaul (Like what SE did to FFXIV) I see this game ending at the same stop.

Neverwinter is pretty fun too, a few things need to be addressed, I mean PVP is horrible, but that does not define this type of game and the endless adds as a boss mechanic should be changed, but overall I think it is on the right path. But hey, if not, perhaps I shall go dust off my copy of Revenge!
I am more wondering why Neverwinter is abbreviated NWO (Neverwinter Online) as opposed to just NW?
Is there another popular MMO (or Game company) out there that uses the NW abbreviation?
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You?
No, nothing uses it. NW is the proper abbreviation but some people use NWO instead.
Well "Neverwinter" ("NW") could mean Nights 1, Nights 2, or this game. So I think people use "NWO" to differentiate between the "Nights" and the MMO.
Could have sworn those have always been referred to as NWN and NWN2.
Sure they are. But not necessarily always. Speaking for myself, before I played this game, I would just call them both "Neverwinter", especially when talking (literally) about them.
But in the grand scheme of things...does it really matter if someone calls it "NW" or "NWO"? Either way, the point gets across.
("NWO" can also mean New World Order....which is something else entirely.)
Kind of ironic that they labelled teh game directory NWO, yet specifically say the abbreviation should not be that.
Thank you, now I see where NWO came from.

I like NWO over NW. The game isnt going to totally fail there will be say 10,000 people willing to pay out money to the zen store at a outragous rate. To keep it going. All the fanboys will gladly fork out the cash to keep this going. Then the people that dont do thier research first and get sucked into starting the game they usually will stick around for a month or 2. Then realize they got ripped off.
waiting for NWO3.

5th post done is from the PW team clarifying the game title
Until there is another game officially using the nwo tag I don't see it really matters and only serves to derail threads when certain people decide to get pedantic about it.
Still though, are you sure that it was the reviews and not the fact that Hasbro took Atari to court and got the D&D digital license revoked or whatever? I would think that the legal suit would be more reason than anything as why would anyone in their right mind develop a game when they knew they will be fighting a legal battle for the IP digital rights.
Because it's such a big deal, and you had so much trouble differentiating between the two, that you had to point it out, instead of posting anything to forward the op's post?
People always trying to put their own stamp on sh*t to make themselves seem significant...or just trolling...
Cryptic's other two games are Champions Online and Star Trek Online.
Stands to reason to call this one Neverwinter Online?
At any rate, it's what I'll call it regardless of what people think.
Occam's Razor makes the cutting clean.
