“Change is the essential process of all existence.” -Spock, Star Trek: The Original Series S3 E15 “Great things befall when one is brave enough to do something bold, strange, and unusual.” -Ed Greenwood, Swords of Eveningstar We’ve been mentioning this for a few weeks now but wanted to make it official: After 6.5 years as the Neverwinter Community Manager, I am passing on my sword, shield, hammer, and +1 armor to Ambassador Kael! Kael has been at the helm of the STO Community Starship and the CO Community Superteam since we both started together at Cryptic, boldly leading the Star Trek Online and Champions Online Communities. In my 11 years in the game industry, I have been a Community Manager for various titles, but Neverwinter is where I truly solidified myself as a CM. I learned immensely from my peers but mostly it was the community, you folks, who helped me grow and evolve. For every person who provided constructive criticism, even when it was tough to hear, thank you. For eve... Read more

Howdy all! Menzoberranzan is live and we wanted to make a few quick comments on the current, and upcoming, companion changes. Our first round of updates hit with Menzoberranzan, and we updated a lot of the companions in Neverwinter, but not all of them. We hope that old favorites, like the Pseudodragon, are still seen as viable, but we hope players are finding many of our other companions are far more competitive. We know a few, like the Incubus, took some hits as we addressed bugs or significant imbalances, but we tried to power-up many companions to viable and playable levels. We will have another patch within the next few weeks that will update more companions. A few of those were erroneously listed in our first draft of patch notes, such as the Cold Iron Warrior and Angel of Protection. We'll be improving those in the next patch, and improving a number of other companions, such as insuring our 'starter' companions perform more consistently. We don't expect every companion to perf...

We are aware of an issue where, after turning in unbound Mythic quality Lightning Flash, Refulgent Fortification, or Living Hex enchantments, players are unable to reclaim bound versions unless they had also previously turned in a Mythic Battle Tempered Enchantment in the past. In order to prevent this from impacting more players, we have temporarily paused the ability to turn in the three affected enchantments. We have a fix in testing, and turn-ins will become available sometime after that fix goes live. The backend tracking of these turn-ins is still functioning correctly, which means that as soon as the fix goes live, players who had turned them in prior to our action will be able to claim the bound versions. Thank you for your patience!

Greetings Adventurers! 

In anticipation of the next Appointment Event (Siege of Neverwinter - February 16), players will notice some changes in the Appointment Event Store starting with this week's patch. In addition to certain rewards moving to different categories, the cost of a number of items has been reduced in preparation of additional reward updates coming with the launch of the next module. 

If you had planned on purchasing anything from the store within the next couple weeks, you may wish to wait until this week's patch for the reduced prices.

Greetings Adventurers,

Due to some players unable to participate on the first day of the current run of Hell Pit, we will be extending the event by a day to allow impacted players to obtain the tokens they would have otherwise missed. The new end date is now 7:30am PT on Friday, October 21.

Because of the Hell Pit extension, this year's run of Masquerade of Liars will be delayed a day. It will run its entire 14-day duration of October 21-November 4.
