    I Agree! I think this is a step up from the regular D&D online game.

    The top 7 games on that list are:

    7: A totally dysfunctional game that "looks pretty".

    6: A game with a combat system that rivals top tier DDR songs.

    5. A game with pretty much no content at end game with an unnecessarily complex, yet still entirely shallow skill system (and anyone who wants to succeed in PvP uses one of 2 builds!).

    4. A game that had a budget bigger than most prime time movie productions, but still failed to garner support and went free-2-play within months of release. Oh, and they are so popular that despite being free to play, the entire oceanic server base is being merged into USA servers as of last week. Grats oceanics.

    3. Well, we all know the problems with Neverwinter.

    2. Hey, finally, a good game in this list!

    1. GW2, which was OK, kind of, in its own right. Of course, the WvWvW system was an abject failure, but that was only its touted system, right?

    Then, of course, it fails to include by far the most popular western MMO, which had an expansion release within the last 6 months that has more players playing it than any other two games on that list combined.

    Totally a legit list, yo!

    Agree'd! This is one game I WILL put money into, not only for myself but to show appreciation for this wonderful MMO. Over 12 years of experience, and this is my favorite.

    So far i like the game, and i like it a lot. Your items looks very, very cool at your character, gameplay is amazing, quest is not so stupid, like quest in other MMORPG for example. Graphics its not like some other mmorpg which have cartoon network graphics.
    Dont know if its best MMORPG for 2013, but for sure its a very, very solid and nice game, and i expect to play it a lot.
    Good Job to the cr8.

    They obviously never tried using the Foundry, if they did it wouldn't even make the top 100 MMOs of this week.

    As I read through these posts, I find myself flip flopping back and forth with posters... Ooh that's a good point... But then again, Ooh! That's a good point!! One thing I've tried to do with this game (as an Original, Gary Gygax AD&D, Dragon Magazine subscribing, countless hours at a table with blood-shot eyes kind of guy) is try to take Neverwinter at face value. A hybrid mix of Dungeon Siege meets Diablo, meets MMO with an injection of DnD back-ground. If you try to look at this game as a purist.. You will probably hate it, JUST on the purist ideologies of what DnD is. If you come into this game with no real concept or limited exposure to DnD, then you may have certain expectations that aren't what they seem to be. But if you take it at face value and accept it for what it is as a whole (removing obvious bugs, and other issues... those purple chests, I'll bite my tongue on that 1...) Then this game can be a very good diversion and a nice time passer. Time will tell if it has what it takes to make the long haul and keep the hard core gamers with the end game content.

    Guild Wars 2 had major exploits in its first weeks of commercial launch and you'd have a hard time finding any current GW2 players who aren't wholesomely satisfied with their game.

    GW2 did not reach expectations with shoddy lore & graphics that catered to homosexuals, women & children.

    The WvW was an absolute gear grind, horribly imbalanced and with shoddy Frame Rates.

    The SPVP system was great, but their were to few maps.

    GW2 WvW was a copy and paste of warhammer online 1.4.0 & without collision detection it didn't work.

    The initial sales were incredible but there are many complaints about low populated servers.

    The gear design was horrible & The game was far too bright for many players.

    The only thing that I liked about the Game was the SPvP.

    They also talked of no holy trinity - that does exist in GW2 - There are only 2 differences:

    1) Anybody can res
    2) Tanks do not have guard abilities.

    You still have a dedicated healer class , dps, rdps & tank and anybody who has reached max level knows that this is a very true statement.

    Coming from warhammer online GW2 felt like a copy and paste, even the questing system was similar to Public quests in warhammer...I do believe that GW2 is a better game then warhammer as it stands...Warhammer became a joke after the first year of release.

    But still - 90% of warhammer players went to GW2 as the game was familier.

    I believe that neverwinter is a brilliant example of cookie cutter mmorpg minus the tab targeting.

    They used what has always worked with the foundry as the differentiation. - Incredible concept - A year after launch it will have more content then any other mmorpg in the world.

    How can you go wrong with Dungeons & Dragons Dark comical lore?

    Loving this game, almost as good as first 6 months of WHO before EA pulled the plug in favor of their mobile & FTP titles.

    IGN Rating - 6.8.

    Metacritic - 7.5
    Metacritic Users - 6.3


    In my opinion:

    The very good:

    - Environment design and graphics.
    - The combat in this game is extremly fun, and responsive; best I've seen in any MMOG.
    - The foundry system is awesome, although still limited in some aspects.
    - Even if the mechanics are loosely based on D&D 4e, that's enough to make them very good.

    The not so good (bad):
    - Everything else (including the fact that it got released too early with too many bugs, june 20th should have been the open beta release day).

    I've been having fun with Neverwinter for some months now... then again... I'm no longer a hardcore, daily, player. Enjoy the ride... the end isn't the end-all-be-all.

    I'd rather recommend looking into a dictionary, pal.

    congratulations, you noticed a typo. Please congratulate yourself for your intelligence. You get a + 1 in my book. Really. Though you lose 1 point for actually posting that stupidity, lose another point for being stupid. Be mean, and I will be mean back.

    That review of NW shows how clueless the guy is about the game.

    Horrible review. Just sad. People keep thinking Foundry is this big deal. I mean seriously, who does Foundry? I beg people to do foundry but no one will.

    20 minutes? Unless he is talking about dungeon exploits where you just kill the last boss (which they fixed finally after like 3 tries and 6 weeks) what can you do in 20 minutes? PvP? Seriously what can you do in 20 minutes?

    It's cute how people don't understand that the rankings on those kinds of lists are determined by the highest bidder, not quality of game.

    tldr wow doesn't need to pay for publicity so you wont see it on any top 10,20,100 lists. Even though it's been #1 for a decade.

    wow is a stale grind id never want to get back to
    Lol WOW >>>> GW2....

    Neverwinter is best game.. You see Neverwinter and WOW people play endgame so they no not have time to vote what game is best.

    I and my friend can play Neverwinter however GW2 PvP WvWvW need super CPU and we can not play that. The only good thing in GW2 is PvP.

    You know I like endgame and I also like that people in PvP do NOT have same items lol as it should be! Really GW2 PvE suck maybe I will try PvP WvWvW one day when I buy a new super play computer however PvE in GW2 is <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> with no endgame.

    Ok WOW is maybe to hardcore however Neverwinter has ok endgame I like it and it is FREE to play and WOW cost 12.50 euro/month. I like PvP and Dungeons and Skirmish. Foundry has not been so good however sooner or later someone well make really good adventure like 5 stars and not like find this key to open the door that zzzzz make me sleep. Of course I also enjoy other then endgame I have another character with that I play with my friend who very slooooowly get levels.

    Neverwinter - Why are there two fighter classes?

    Neverwinter agree on that. Two fighter classes since it is easy to make and yet they do fill different roles...
    I have not played either fighter class yet when I met in PvP Great weapon fighter is dangerous offensively while Guardian fighter is more hard to kill and have interrupts. Yeah I want new classes and I have wished that in the Fury of the Feywild Dev Blog thread.

    The best MMO of 2013 isn't NW...Sorry guys,

    For those who believe in WoW being the best MMO...news for you, 12 million to 9 million in one year is set back..
    FFXIV is going be big for those who can afford the sub
    and I believe right now the best of 2013 has been p2p for two years and now has F2P model, which is Rift.

    The best MMO of 2013 is Rift...It's Also F2P, with very limited restrictions and it's doesn't do a P2W model. I'm Level 49 in NW and have 12g where in rift after a month I'm level 47 with 94plat.

    Wow is good for crazy ppl who want to provide Blizzard
    FFXiV same as WoW with ppl provide square-enix.

    Let me correct the title a bit, NWO is the most promising mmo of 2013 till now, what makes it the most disapointing so far because of STUPID customer policies, for quiting content and fun from the game with every bloody patch and not doing anything to resolve bots and abuse in foundries.
