    I think part of the NDA of alpha is NOT telling your in alpha lol.

    If its's not asking for money or passwords AND you can see the named server in the downloaded NWO client I'd say it's legit.

    Unfortunately this breaks Alpha NDA, next time ask a moderator first, as they can view(for moderation purposes) all of the forums.

    Deleted due to not knowing of NDA in the ToS.

    Ok, looks like a mod changed the message. Was wondering how long it would be before it was noticed.

    The mods were informed last week that they decided to go lighter on the strictness of the NDA.

    Content and Test times will be strictly removed but simply stating that you got an alpha invitation/are taking part in the Alpha Tests will depend on the context...bla..bla..bla.
    *shrugs* I like the simplicity of 'The first rule of Fight Club is you don't speak about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is you don't speak about Fight Club.' but Cryptic/PWE holds the reigns haha.

    In this case, he got an e-mail which he thought was a scam, I will confirm his e-mail is authentic and may follow the instructions without fear...
    But anything past that would be an NDA Violation and will be removed promptly.

    Thank you for all answers.
    First I apologize for posting but getting an alpha invite the same day without any forewarning and no info of NDA got me suspicious, especially since there were different time lines in the mail. I was not aware of my post violating anything. I did report this to PW but got an automatic response to get an answer in 3 days and I was worried that this possible scam could affect others and 3 days is a long time. I have some bad experience from WoW hacking.
    Also, I googled on Neverwinter alpha and got nothing.

    The automatic response is just that, an automatic response. It doesn't vary. They could be twiddling their thumbs in the office (not likely) and respond to your ticket within 5 minutes but the automated response will still warn you that it could take up to three days to get a response.

    Some of the e-mails include links to the NDA, some do not. In any case the NDA should be easy to find within the Alpha Forums that you should be able to see, let me know if you can't.
    In any case the thread is clean, no worries. You weren't the first and won't be the last to accidentally breach the NDA.

    And I'm surprised Google hasn't tried to leak any info out yet, they're slacking :eek:
    However that works out well since they shouldn't have any information on the Neverwinter Alpha to begin with, haha.

    Oh my not this again.... This happens with every mmo after preorders... I'm sure it's either random, region, and/or pc build based. Internet just has too many conspiracy theories!
