Re: Neverwinter
No idea, but I'm going to be at work for a while, so I can't go home and try mine out.
If it isn't showing the Play button, that likely means it's waiting on notification from the server on whether or not there's an update. That means the most likely culprit is the login/update servers on Perfect Worlds' side are sluggish, probably from being bombarded by everyone trying to log in.

Re: Neverwinter
Awww, that sucks you didn't like it. I honestly have no idea what to expect. However, since I'm pretty sure it's free-to-play, I'll definitely give it more tolerance than I would a full-price game. Of course, it's also possible that PW knows this and skimped on game design and execution, so we'll see.
Thankfully, we have STO regardless!

Re: Neverwinter
I'm really liking Neverwinter thus far and this is the second beta weekend that I've taken part in. It feels much newer and more polished than STO does and I love the combat system, especially on the melee classes (Guardian fighter being my favourite, so far).
However, for all it's strong points I can't argue with Geo's problem. The character models are certainly not the best looking.

Re: Neverwinter
I'm really enjoying the control mage...although I have no ability to control things so I'm not sure why they named it that...and my elf is "acceptable" looking but Jesus are the default models hideous.

Re: Neverwinter
I have been doing the first 5 levels of each of the classes and like how they all handle differently. That said, the basic character models all suck royally.

Re: Neverwinter
With some tweaking I was able to get my character looking better. Not sure why the defaults all look like they got in the face with an Ugly Stupid Stick, but with a bit of attention you can get something much better.
So far, I really enjoyed it. I haven't played a ton, just enough to get a feel and know I'll check this out when it comes out.

Look at the Server Status. It's currently offline. :P That might be why it wasn't working.

Neverwinter Open Beta (Launch)
Cryptic have announced the date of the "open beta" phase for Neverwinter.
They'll be no character wipe after the open beta and with no cost of entry I'm finding it hard to understand how this isn't "launch".
Dungeon delvers of Neverwinter, mark your calendars. We are pleased to announce that on April 30, 2013, Neverwinter, our upcoming free-to-play action MMORPG, will officially enter Open Beta! The Forgotten Realms will soon be open to millions of brave heroes and heroines who cannot wait to join the battle against Valindra Shadowmantle and hordes of other foul creatures on Faerûn. Make a stand and protect the city of Neverwinter against the ever-present dangers surrounding the city.
How would you like to play Open Beta three days before anyone else? How about five days before anyone else? You can do so by becoming a Neverwinter Founder! Early access is just one of many exclusives our Neverwinter Founders receive.
Early Access Exclusives for Neverwinter Founders
Five days Open Beta early access for Hero of the North Founder's Pack purchasers.
Three days Open Beta early access for Guardian of Neverwinter Pack purchasers.
Note: There will be no character wipes after April 25th.

Re: Neverwinter Open Beta (Launch)
It's basically a 'soft launch', in the same way that Gmail was technically in 'open beta' for years. Since the game is free-to-play, it allows them to call the initial rough period of the game (and let's face it, every MMO has an initial rough period) a beta. And, in a way, it is a beta, because they're going to be ironing out a ton of bugs.
Additionally, calling it an open beta as opposed to a 'launch' will probably lower the number of players signing on at the same time on opening day, which in turn will help with server performance during those first few days.
So yeah, it's basically a launch, but calling it an open beta will probably help keep expectations down and make things run more smoothly.

Re: Neverwinter
Is anyone else playing this? I'm about to start a character, but was hoping to roll on the same server as any other Stonewallers.

At some point, they plan on merging the 3 shard together.

In the meantime, it does seem like most of us are on Mindflayer and Dragon.

Re: Neverwinter
Well damn. Looks like Neverwinter crashed again and brought down STO along with it. Oi vey!

Re: Neverwinter
I'm still trying to find a character I enjoy playing... Going through the tutorial as each class, and none of them really click with me.
Also, am I the only one having trouble making a character I like the look of? The character creator seems quite robust at first, but all of my characters look like they are surprised and pissed off at the same time, hehe. I wish there was more control over eye shape and mouth shape.
