    It looks as if one will not be needed but there's a suspicious looking segment...

    I think we'll need another key.

    "can" in this context would mean that you "can" if you are a Founder and played in Beta weekend 3 since "BW4 is actually an exclusive for Founders."

    We will wipe right after Beta Weekend Four, then there will no more character wipes after.

    Thank you. I always figured this is how it will work (common sense, really) - thank you for clarifying it in red ink, though. Much appreciate all of your hard work along with the rest of your teams.

    Guardian of Neverwinter Pack: Three-day early access - play on April 27th.

    Sorry for that confusion. I updated our blog to say if you are a Neverwinter Founder and played Beta Weekend Three, you can continue that character during Beta Weekend Four.

    If you are a Founder, you will not need a key. Founders can just log in on Friday, April 12th, and enjoy Neverwinter for another weekend!

    OK, this should clear some of the confusion...taken from the announcement page:


    But before then, we will have an additional Beta Weekend Four, from April 12-14, to polish and test features which will be available during Open Beta. Here is just some of what players will experience during the next Beta Weekend:

    - First opportunity to experience Neverwinter's Profession System
    - Explore one or all four different types of professions: Leadership, Mailsmithing, Platesmithing, and Leatherworking.
    - Play through 50 levels of content, including improvements based on feedback from Beta Weekend Three.
    - If you played in Beta Weekend Three and are a Neverwinter Founder, you can continue your progress and grow even stronger!

    How can players enter Beta Weekend Four? Players who purchased Hero of the North Founder's Pack, or redeemed a new Friend key from this pack, or purchased a Guardian of Neverwinter Pack will be the first to experience brand-new content. This is an added thank you to committed Founders who have helped make Neverwinter possible.

    Exactly. At least there is clarification in the update to the post. So basically to reiterate - ONLY Founders and those lucky enough to redeem an unused Friend key play that weekend . . . :)
    My Specs - Low end, I know, but I am working on it, I promise!

    So...the game launches on April 30th but for now it's being called open beta as is fashionable these days with games like War Thunder, etc.

    Does this mean every time someone has a legitimate complaint about something it will be shrugged off with the defense that "Well it's a beta"?

    I suppose it is too late to overhaul the combat system now? :(

    It is far too slow and clunky for an ARPG.

    This is wonderful news. Really looking forward now. And my decision to purchase the Guardian of Neverwinter pack has reaped its rewards - I'm free on 27th-29th April before I'm back at work on the 30th for a whole week! :D

    I'm unclear if the open beta will include Foundry access. Considering this is the main draw for the majority of the populace I'd expect it to be included but it hasn't been in all of the past beta weekends. Will the foundry be ready to go as well by April 25th?
