Neverwinter Founder’s Pack Update
By Pinpointerror @ January 29, 2013 at 3:49pm

Greetings, Adventurers!
Neverwinter's first Beta Weekend begins February 8, 2013. On that day, The Forgotten Realms becomes a reality for brave heroes and heroines to explore and dungeon delve. Victory and epic loot await the fearless and the fast, but for the weak of body and mind, there can be only ignominious death.
One way to gain coveted access to the first Neverwinter Beta Weekend is with a Hero of the North Founder's Pack. But don't fret! There are more ways yet to be revealed for hungry and anxious adventurers to join the Neverwinter Beta Weekends.
You may have also noticed that our Founder's Packs are not yet available for purchase. We took 20 on our Perception check and uncovered a few traps and several goblins. As a result, we temporarily delayed the start of our Founder's Pack sales while we slayed… um, addressed any outstanding issues.
For our Neverwinter fans looking to grab a Founder's Pack and secure guaranteed access to our Beta Weekends, the wait will be precious short.
Stay tuned to our homepage, ye Heroes of the North for the latest information on our Founder's Pack promotion. Keep an action ready because your turn is coming right up.
Sincerely,
The Neverwinter Team

I'm very interested in the 200$ founder's pack but I was wondering if it will be available for purchase after release as well or if it's only purchasable prior to launch. I'd like to try the game a few days before playing 200$ in case I don't like it.

I'd like the answer to this question as well. Have tried searching and this was the best link that popped. For an ftp game, offering this after launch seems to be a good idea, but I can't find anything that confirms whether it will b e available post launch or not. Can anyone provide a link to the answer if it is available?

What if the servers crash ie. guild wars 2 , Diablo 3 any MMORPG will probably have server issues , I feel sorry for someone who spends $200.00 for and including early access and experiences sever conection issues , that adds up to a lot of very very angry people/customers , hope the game won't crash , looks like a lot of people will be trying to get access upon official release.

It happens. You get used to it.
aristarcus @ Feb 13th, 2013 2:05PM
I am actually interested in this as well. Will the stuff in the founders pack be only available for those who purchase it or will people who don't get it be able to get the same stuff just at a later time?
naferix @ Feb 11th, 2013 3:57PM
I want to know something, I am willing to pay the 200 dollars for the founders option because all of the perks, my question is, will all of those perks be available as mini transactions later on or will the perks like the drow race, black panther, and all others be available for later purchase by cash shop or special addon or will they be only and always be available just for the people that purchased the $200 founders pack?
deathtestament @ Feb 9th, 2013 7:47AM
i have a question if i buy smallest of the founders packs can u upgrade tot he next one just by paying the difference??
mok33
You cannot.
magnusvoltron @ Feb 8th, 2013 12:34PM
The game comes out 2014??? It was supose to come out late 2012, then early 2013 now it's 2014?? Box price and (option) for free to play is way better. I would rather pay monthly and get more then to buy stuff I should get with a monthly fee. Anywase I can't honestly say I am right but judging by other mmo's this is how it will be. PLZ have a better store then Guild Wars 2. Games been out for a while and just added a dumb back pack lol.
mok33
Where are you getting your info from? Neverwinter's twitter still says early 2013 for a release date.
magnusvoltron @ Feb 8th, 2013 12:26PM
can we pay the $20 bux and still get in? I signed up for beta 2 years ago. Have all the Neverwinter nights games and have read all the Drizzt books as well as some other Forgotten Realms books. It was listed as a founders pack so if it's not I think " to be fair" you should be more clear. Anywase I can't wait to play when ever I can ty.
mok33
Currently you can't get into beta by purchasing the 19.99 starter kit. You must purchase the Guardian or Hero packs.
ka0000 @ Feb 7th, 2013 9:15PM
I play PW and ForsakenWorld I bought the 60$ pack I've never done that and am excited about Beta but worried I wont get the packI hope it will be easy to sell your found loot unlike Forsaken World where I still havent figured out how lol after a year playing Im not clear I bought a pack the 60$ one is this thread saying we're not getting them?Will we get our money back
purpleorbes @ Feb 7th, 2013 8:25PM
Im bummed out, Im to broke for the packs and still havnt received any beta key. Im starting to think you have to pay for 1 of the packs to even get the beta key.
horcules007 @ Feb 7th, 2013 5:26PM
does this game launch the 8th at 12:00 am lol and if so what timezone...
mok33
It launches at 12pm (noon) PST on the 8th.
merilairon1 @ Feb 7th, 2013 12:21PM
sincerely wish I could have afforded the $200 founder pack to support the devs, but nevertheless I did purchase tha $60 one! I am so ridiculously excited to start playing in the beta tomorrow!
adarez @ Feb 7th, 2013 7:47AM
$199 SOLD AND SOLD
khaliban @ Feb 6th, 2013 11:53PM
Been keeping tabs on this game for a very long time.... gladly shelled out the 200 to help support the developement team for their hard work. @superfem, i know what you mean about ones complaining. But too soon on your metaphor. The town of Midland City Alabama just came out of a 1 week hostage situation of young Ethan ( a 5 year old with Asbergers ) that witnessed his bus driver murdered and held hostage in a man made bunker.
superfem @ Feb 5th, 2013 1:07PM
To those leaving the negative comments on the founders fee ... it's not like they are holding a gun to your head while keeping you hostage in a bunker .. don't like the price? don't buy it, but please stop crying like a little baby because you can't afford it .... yeah, keep saying you'd never pay that but i bet you would if you could ;)
azmeena @ Feb 4th, 2013 11:11AM
I loved this game sooooo much all those years ago - can't wait to play the updated, revamped, beautified etc etc etc version - been a long time coming - exciting exciting exciting woohooo
kakalwa @ Feb 3rd, 2013 6:24PM
chou muito bom!
tallendale @ Feb 1st, 2013 5:53PM
Well then...goodbye $60..let's hope the name 'NEVERWINTER' does disappoint me. So far so good. 'CRYPTIC' on the other hand..not so happy with you guys.
tallendale
*edit* meant to say 'doesn't disappoint me'
tomahawk73 @ Feb 1st, 2013 10:50AM
EFF YOU CRYPTIC!!! ...To charge $200 to get early access to a FREE game is criminal. I signed up two fkn years ago before Perfect World even bought your sorry arses! AND bought the founders pack for Raiderz BUT NOOOOOO got to come up with another $200?? PLEASE! EFF your game. And EFF all of YOU MORONS WHO WILL PAY AND SUPPORT THIS THIEVERY!!! I HOPE OTHERS IN GAME WILL LEAVE YOU TO DIE!
mok33
The rage...
fredrikfronk
Yes, because early access is a god given right to all of mankind... Did i miss the post where they forced everyone to pay 200$?, because i'm fairly certain it's optional, atleast from what i've read.
cloudodom2
i agear with u i have to buy crap for $200 to get in a beta it sapose to be free
eldarth @ Jan 31st, 2013 7:39PM
Crap. NOW you tell me Foundry access is only in the Hero Founders pack. @#$@$@! How the hell do I upgrade from Guardian to Hero package?!???
mok33
Foundry unlocks at lvl 15. You still gain access, just not as soon as those who purchased the Hero Founders Pack.
shadowscales @ Jan 31st, 2013 5:41PM
I agree I would not shell out 199 dollars for a game i have no clue if i will like or not. I take the wait and see attitude with every game i play.
trahan2 @ Jan 30th, 2013 12:54AM
Hey, Im will gladly pay for a founderspack so that the creators have more budget to make this game even beter. All the people who dont like the foundry system, dont buy it then easy as that. I look at it as buying a game and helping out the creators end of story. Make our favorite game come alive guys Greetz Trahan
demitrys

This is like a kickstarter, supporting game before release :)
shadowscales
I have agame in mind can you send me 300 dollars too
sevargath @ Jan 29th, 2013 11:53PM
currency will be converted from $ 60 to 60 €? or according to the value of money?
sevargath @ Jan 29th, 2013 11:32PM
The idea is great but the packages are a bit too thin ........ especially the $ 60 else too little stuff ..... may include the possibility for the pack of 60 and 200 to have access to a store that will sell exclusive mount crystals for particular lunar type the giant spider, or the change to the drow
arkonagade
the $60 has 175000 Astral Diamonds, enough to buy a lot in the shop
arkonagade
edit: $60 pack has 125000 diamonds
vyrenn @ Jan 29th, 2013 11:05PM

grayzen12 @ Jan 29th, 2013 10:56PM
