Neverwinter: Beta Schedule
Dungeons & Dragons fans are looking forward to playing Neverwinter, Cryptic's next D&D game. Today, the publisher has announced the North American and European Beta dates as well as the details of the Founders Program.
Neverwinter's Beta Weekend Schedule:
- February 8-10 2 -March 8-10 3- March 22-24
Just like all the new MMOs, Neverwinter is going to launch back to back Beta tests and the Closed Beta will be open to those who purchase one of the Founders Packages. What I don't like about Neverwinter's Founders Program is that the entry level package, the Starter Kit costs $19.99 but it doesn't offer access to the Beta weekends. If you remember TERA's starter kit, it had an Early Access for as low as $10 and I think it was ideal. The good thing is Perfect World is offering two more packages with a lot of unique items.
Take a look at the Ultimate Hero of the North Founder's Pack. It's not cheap ($199.99) but it is still not a bad offer considering the amount of exclusive items and unique features such as the VIP access to the Moonstone Mask Tavern. . It's still probably only for someone who plans to stick around in game for a while.
Hero of the North Founder's Pack features:
Five-day head start access to Neverwinter Open Beta
Beta Weekend Friend Invite code
Exclusive access to ‘Menzoberranzan Renegade’, a drow playable race like the legendary ranger
Drizzt Do’Urden, complete with unique racial abilities and tattoo
Unique ‘Armored Spider’ mount
Unique ‘Panther Companion’
In-game and forum ‘Founder’ title
VIP Game Access to skip-the-line and get priority log-in access
Neverwinter: New Screenshots
With the Beta announcements, Cryptic has released this new set of screens showcasing the Moonstone Mask Tavern and exclusive Founders Pack items and companions. I have to say they look pretty amazing. If you are considering to get one of the Founder's Packs, I am sure you will be tempted. Look out for the trailer later tonight.
