Hello...the only other game ive ever played in the MMORPG world is SWTOR and in that game there is a basic storyline to follow. In NW i dont get the point. I go into a cave, kill a few monsters and then kill the main boss???? is that it, do I just keep doing this over and over?????

I didn't know about a big difference in the other MMOs.
You mean from PWE/Cryptic's standpoint or the players? You might not like either answer. As to your other question, yes, but as you get higher lvl so do the number of adds you have to fight. You're welcome.:)

There is NO pvp in Neverwinter.
More content will come out and this will continue, a lot of people in games like this only seem to see the last point, grind and get epics, i don't like those people.
I understand what you're saying about the storyline though, at first it seems like there will be one, with the necromancer and the theft of the crown of neverwinter, but then it seems to just break away from that into random things, the story does pick up again i in little pieces here and there, but i think it could be better connected.
i thought the idea was once you have perfect gear and mount is to sit in the middle of market for hours on end... o,O
In all seriousness the over all story is fairly hard to miss. Each zone has its own self contained story that can only be missed by skipping dialog. This adds to the main story by adding to the list of friends and allies that can help Neverwinter due to your efforts.
Well, this game is module/hub based, so it's more similar to games like DDO than the more typical MMOs like your example here. I personally like it, there's freedom to pick and choose content, and skip something you don't like. Each hub is basically a self-contained story with only limited interaction with others, and there isn't really an overarching storyline to speak of. It's like a collection of short stories vs one long novel in this regard. Some of the stories do have a plenty of character if you bother to read the dialogue.
The goal of this game is plain and simple. For you the player to get tricked into buying zen or items from the zen store. If you spent money on the game then you have gotten to the main over all goal.
Thanks...that was a great explination. And thanks to everyone else. I do like the game and I wont be quitting anytime soon.
The game does have story lines that crop up every once in awhile that act as threads that interweave with the specific stories of each area. Valindra Shadowmantle's efforts against Neverwinter, and Valindra herself, are mentioned several times as you go through the story, with the occasional run in with her. Also, the rebuilding of Neverwinter, and the strengthening or relationships with those near the city, are mentioned several times too, as the backdrop for some adventures.
The main storyline of the game, though, is you.
In particular, it is about how your character develops from someone that washed up on a beach that just happened to get caught up in an attack on Neverwinter to someone who becomes a hero of that city through his varied adventures on behalf of it. This transformation is shown over time by how you are viewed by those of Neverwinter as shown in how NPCs act, react, and interact with you as the game goes on.

The main storyline, (before counting the modules like Feywild), is to aid Neverwinter and its allies with their problems. This takes you to different areas where Sgt. Knox et al think you can be of most help. There are a few missions related to your class or race, but overall this game is more about you helping Neverwinter than any sort of personal agenda.
The existence of epic dungeons at 60, while nice, makes things a bit weirder since each dungeon can be thought of as the ultimate completion of their respective zones - Cloaktower, for instance, is where you face off against the leader of the orcs that are assaulting the tower district...

On topic:
Goal of the game.. have fun and try not to get annoyed too much by whining people.
How much of a part you play in the story will depend on you. Your development does not require it. There are also many other stories to be told by the inhabitants of Neverwinter and its surroundings. How far you delve there will depend on whether your daily objectives are to line your pockets with coin and jewels to fund your quest for fame, glory and riches or to explore your world and occasionally get lost along the way.
Luckily, those invisible pixie scribes update your Journal while you rest and you can always dip into the lore there particularly if a nasty blow to the head requires you to refresh your memory.
PS. A journey through lore, a hack n slash or the pursuit of ever shinier equipment and riches are all valid stories.
