Neverwinter | Cryptic [OPEN BETA]

Neverwinter is a Free to play Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) based MMORPG that seems to be taking the MMO space by storm. The Open Beta was launched on April 30 and so far, the game seems to be gathering a massive following.

Developed by Cryptic Studios, a subsidiary of Perfect World, Neverwinter builds on the fourth edition of the D&D rule set to create a game that claims to set itself apart from the crowd of MMOs that are flooding the market.

Neverwinter is in itself a stand-alone game and not related to the Neverwinter Nights series in anyway. The game is set in the fictional city of Neverwinter but isn’t restricted to it, giving players the option to explore even the outskirts of this fabled land. With the inclusion of the Foundry, players will also be able to create their own dungeons, essentially offering an almost infinite level of customizability and level-design to the player.

Better yet is the 5 v 5 party based PVP mode, allowing you to really test your skill against real players in domination mode across a variety of maps. The nice thing here is players get level scaled to match the highest level participant.

I'll admit to being mildly addicted and have been having a lot of fun levelling up my devoted Cleric over the last couple of days.
