We have no plans to sell the +5 Radiant Vorpal Sword of Immediate Dragon Slaying in Neverwinter. There are no plans to make a quick dime off of players who just have to have that +5 suit of magical plate armor that just so happens to be wearable as cloth armor, and have a ridiculous amount of health regen and the ability…

So, I know the mods already answered this, but just to make things clear... The selection process went well, however, we uncovered a few issues along the way. 1) There was a tie in the public voting process. I honestly never though I would see this, as in a popularity contest, there is almost always someone on the bottom.…

Hi folks, All of our moderators are now active. I also took the liberty of reaching out to one more person on the forums whom I did not originally receive an interview form from, and after discovering what prevented this, we've added him into the list of mods as well. Please congratulate all four of your news moderators: *…

There's ways to do almost anything in The Foundry, it's really an incredibly powerful toolset. However, there are also limitations... If I were to build this in The Foundry, I'd set a trigger to close the door behind you when walked into the room, and then further into the room, I would trigger the monster spawn. I'm not…

I've been trying to talk one of our designers into making a "trap" in which the characters get sealed into a room, and a strange black, icky substance starts pouring in from a drain/grate in the ceiling. Then the black pudding attacks... He keeps saying that's too mean, so I think I might have to do it myself in a Foundry…

We're working on getting more information out to you guys. Please remember that our release date is currently early 2012. We're pacing out new information so that we stay in people's minds until then. We'll also be making a pretty big splash right around release time. As for gaining access to the CBT, I would not worry too…

Sorry for the double post, but how on earth did I forget about Illithids in the last post? I must have a mindflayer eating away at me...

The Lich, The Dracolich, The Owlbear, The Phase Spider (one of my personal favorites!), certain oozes and slimes... D&D has a really large staple of awesome monsters to face off against, many of them iconic. I can't wait to start getting you all in-game so you can see some of the creatures you'll have to face down. Cheers,…

Well, the results are pretty clear. They all won! I'm going to be reaching out to all three of them tomorrow to set up an initial training time with them. Thanks guys! Stormshade

Sometimes I go all goo goo for you Truth... b:victory Seriously, this is the best post I've seen on the topic of moderator picks yet. Cheers, Stormshade
-
Even if I had snuck one past the poll, and just "kept it to myself" the community would have known once that person started moderating. Besides, the point of this is to make sure you guys have a chance at choosing who your volunteer moderators are. There are, in fact several reasons why I'm letting you all choose. When the…

Hey come on now... This hasn't really been a bad week for the infos. We got you some Guardian Fighter gameplay, a little more on the back-story of one of the adventure zones, and there might even be something else tomorrow! Cheers, Stormshade
-
Pretty sure he just mentions an "upcoming beta release schedule". We haven't announced any plans for a collector's edition at this time. Thanks, Stormshade
-
Just to clear this up, I would not be expecting this. We're designing Neverwinter to be free-to-play from the ground up. Thanks, Stormshade
-
Heya Varr! You can get a short recap on our about page. If you want even more details, check out the Neverwinter Campaign Guide WOTC put out last year. Cheers, Stormshade
-
This is because we're not in Beta, nor have we released yet. Welcome to the forums however, I hope you'll stick around to learn more about the game and become part of our community! Thanks, Stormshade

This is proof that no matter how many people vette your work, no matter how many people from QA look over your blog and tell you, "It's all good," somethings will occasionally get missed. b:laugh I am sorry for this rather horrible typo. Thanks, Stormshade
-
So, a couple of things on this thread: 1) I never got angry because you, or anyone else didn't like the bear smilies. I'm sorry if you felt that, but I believe that what I actually said was something along the lines of, "If bear smilies are the biggest complaint about the forum switch over, then I'd say we did a pretty…

Hey folks, I just want to drop a quick note in here to let you all know that if you receive a key from this promotion, you can redeem it now. However, the beta has not yet begun. We'll make sure to let you all know when the closed beta does begin. Thanks, Stormshade
-
Hey gang! I've narrowed the field to three potential candidates. As we only have room at this time for two volunteer commmunity moderators, please head over and cast your votes in this poll. Thanks, Stormshade
-
Hey folks, We're aware of the issue, and are taking steps to prevent it from occurring. This includes software solutions, as well as adding some volunteer mods to the mix. Please hang in there, things should get better soon. Stormshade

Hey folks, Sorry about the silence on this. I was working intently on this thing called PAX... Then I was catching up on everything else that I wasn't doing while I was working on PAX, and now I'm back! So, my apologies for the silence. That said, I've reviewed the applications for everyone who chose to throw their hat in…

Other than our 3 part CG Trailer, all of our trailers are recorded using only in-game footage, and they tend to show multiple classes. Take a look at the video gallery, and check out the "Lore of..." videos. Each of those is entirely comprised of shots we gathered in the game. They also show some really good gameplay. In…

We've been using a "single server" architecture at Cryptic for some time now. In fact, we've been doing this since Champions Online launched in 2009. It has some pretty serious upsides. For instance: If you and 6 buddies all want to play Neverwinter, you don't have to worry about which server to choose. You'll all be on…

I understand, and really wish I could answer, questions about the Neverwinter Beta. However, we can't answer those questions at this time. We'll make sure to let you all know when things start up, and probably well in advance of when they start up. Cheers, Stormshade

Hey folks, I understand the disappointment regarding the release date. We were pushing pretty hard for a 2012 release. However, after seeing the reaction to Neverwinter, which has been incredibly positive, both on the forums here, FaceBook, and at PAX East and E3, we decided it may be beneficial to take a few extra months…
-
Yes. And you should submit as a forum issues ticket. Thanks, Stormshade

Wouldn't stealing the rod of ultimate destruction from the lich who plans to use it to raise a defenseless city be considered a righteous theft? I mean, the lich who intended to do evil with it is probably highly annoyed... But the helpless village you just saved is probably very happy to be able to continue its…

I'm spending a great deal of time writing things, and taking new screenshots. I'm also working on a number of other things for you all here as well. Cheers, Stormshade

I think that there are plenty of things that the community can do to encourage RP in Neverwinter. However, I think that most of what can be done to encourage RP is also done on the community side. I'd love to see a strong, and vibrant RP community grow in and around Neverwinter. I'll be keeping my ear on the ground for…
