They were smart and announced this after W2's had been sent out to employer's. Since I already sent mine in and am receiving some small amount back from the government I will be getting at least the $60 one. Maybe the $200 if I want to be single.
I definly wont pay any money to play beta tests on any game (mostly on a free to play game).... Im following neverwinter since the summer of 2011, if thats not enough to get a beta key thats fine with me, guess i just need to wait a couple more month
By this im not saying this is a bad marketing plan... just saying how i fell about paying for beta.
Does anyone have a link as to what you get that justifies spending 200 bucks on a game?
I hate when browser games pull that trick where it basically becomes impossible to progress unless you buy stuff and/or bug a bunch of your facebook friends to join.
The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
Undecided until full details are provided. $200 hell no especially since I can give a goblin's <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> about the Drizzit wannabe stuff. $60 one looks more promising but only things I really get is the dire wolf and the mount which don't justify $60. Until they give a full explanation of what all will be included and the astral diamonds explained then I might buy a founders package if the stuff is good.
Value for my money is what I want, and if not then I'll just miss out on the first weekend.
I put none for now, as we get to the dead line I will choose. I think I'd rather put 60 dollars towards character unlocks, bag slots, etc etc.
The wife and I had already planed on spending 50 each when the game is released. Since it is Free to download and play.
im probably going with the $60.00 pack honestly, they REALLY need to show much more in game content if they want people to spend money, pretty hard buying anything without looking at it, to see if at least looks like what your looking for, and yes i know they showed ..some..content but even ESO has showed just as much content and they are months away.
Hells to the yes! I am getting a Heros of the North Pack!

Dunno what I'll be getting yet, normally I wouldn't take issue spending 200 bucks on a game, but, more info would be nice.

Buying a game from the store, sight unseen, still could have a return policy.
paying $200 on a game upfront, that you have yet to play, with NO chance of getting a refund due to an extremely horrible gaming expierence, is like paying $10,000 for a used car, sight unseen, you didn't test driveor have an outside mechanic look at.
Just plain stupid.

I think your comparison is just plain stupid, cause I spend 200.00 taking my family out to dinner not 10,000.00. I think spending 200.00 in support of a product I look forward to greatly is sheer genius! I bet you complained about paying 14.99 monthly for games too, you expect everything free?

Until there they spell out exactly what these packs give and make them worthwhile I will be holding off. When DDO did something like this with preorders you received a very clear image on the value of what you were getting and it was well worth it to buy a expensive pack. You supported the unknown and were well rewarded for it.
I took one look at the $200.00 pack and tried to figure out where the $550.00 value was but I could not find it. I'm glad they saved themselves the embarrassment and decided to just delay it. For that kind of money I am expecting some nice bonus items for every character I make.
I'll be getting the $60 pack. If it delivers I'll talk with 10 or so core guildies about doing the same for the next one. I'd go founder but last time(s) I did that-- I regretted it muchly (Vanguard and FF14).
im gonna be 100% honest here i will probably get one the 20$ one if i decide to buy one and dont have enough for the 60$ one but im not 100% decided yet after spending 60$ on the RaiderZ founders pack and not getting the head start cause of tech issues on PWE's side and not even getting anything as an apology for that and the supposed "rare mount" we got that has been re colored to death now i have been by the management of that game soo much Q-Q i will give Neverwinter a try for sure but i am as of yet undecided as to if im going to even spend any money on other PWE games......
I'm in for Hero and guardian. You may think that excessive, but if you saw the amount of D&D stuff laying around my house after 33yrs of playing this game, let alone two full suits of plate you'd be like "Oh ok, have fun, get some therapy"

have they confirmed yet if Hero gives you all the smaller cost packs too?
Please show me where it lists that you have to pay anything to play the game.
The bottom line is that this is a Free To Play Game from the Ground Up. It is not a Free To Play conversion or a Freemium Game. If you enjoy the game and want some nice little things here and there, then there is a cash shop to expand your experience and give support to the game's funding and maintenance, as well expansion and updates. Everything in the founder's pack is purely optional and has no bearing on whether one can play for free or not, regardless if they buy a pack or not.

Yes that was my point.

After buying a founder's pack for another game. and seeing that afterward they offered better choices in the cash shop, which I calculated I could have gotten less 2 months after the game was released, in essence, I will not spend $200 on an advance pack. Especially for a game I have not played.
I drop $60 a month on gaming. I could easily afford $200. I won;t do it on the principle of not seeing what the $549 value is save for a) beta and advance play access (which PWE stated was not being paid for) and b) $120 of in-game items. Unless the title and the VIP room is worth $349, it's not adding up.

Which one has yet to be decided. Still trying to get a tax-exempt charity set up for the "Zebular wants to be a Hero of the North Fund."
