Moving Neverwinter to another PC

Anybody have a thought on whether it is possible to move the installation to another PC by simply moving the folder.

Trying to avoid re-downloading the game client.

    That should work - at least it does with other Cryptic games.

    This does work, I have done it. Works perfectly fine, just move the "Cryptic Studios" folder and run the launcher. I put it in the same folder that is was installed on the other machine ie "Program Files" but it should work either way.

    I want to share the game with my friend. If I give him my piggs folder, can he avoid downloading all the patches that I did?

    Yes, I did this recently for a friend of mine. She used the old beta client (that I still had) to install the game, then I copied my piggs folder to her computer and she didn't have to download any patches.

    It's actually a good idea to use the old installer if you can find it, because it doesn't include ARC. If you download the latest client, then you'll be getting ARC with it.

    Just copy/paste the folder. That's how I got it to wife's PC.
