Venting frustration, sort of, while waiting for Beta Key. Having been involved in around a dozen MMORPG Beta tests since 1996, I would rather see the opening delayed rather than have a poorly designed product placed on the market. Initial reviews from closed (or open) beta are important to the success and survival of a…
Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I prefer to solo for the first 20 levels of a new game to really get to know the game-play nuances, then both solo and group thereafter. The combination is welcome as occasionally I feel sociable and sometimes I want to be by myself. Is there anything wrong with that?
All game development teams will have short, medium, and long term plans as well as wish lists. Development, though, is not always sequential. One of the shortcoming that we as potential Beta testers must accept is that we will work on a character until it is L20+ and then the developers will release new content for lower…

Unlike many of the posters here, I hope the developers take their time producing the game. Far to many MMORPGs are released before they are ready. I understand the closed and open Beta process, having been a beta tester going back to AOL's Realms in 1993 (I was also an AOL employee). Releasing a game too soon and it will…
One of the most attractive features of the original Neverwinter Nights was the Edit feature. Aftter playing the original content once, there were thousands of hours of good gaming using the modules created by the players. Neverwinter Online, by going on the same direction, is sure to surge to the top of the MMORPG list.
