development
Atari announced on August 23, 2010 for the fourth quarter of 2011 a new MMORPG based on the D&D universe in the region of the city of Neverwinter. After Cryptic Studios was bought by Perfect World Entertainment, the business model was redesigned to a Free2Play -MMORPG. The lawful implementation of the D & D rules is from the Wizards of the Coast of Hasbro monitored group. Neverwinter's ClosedBeta tests ran February 8 through April 15; The publication date (OpenBeta) was April 30, 2013, 6:00 p.m. CEST (up to five days earlier for start-up package buyers).

For the official launch of the MMORPG Neverwinter on June 20, 2013, Perfect World expanded the game to include the new Gauntlgrym area , with new PvE and PvP content and the additional profession of alchemist.
The official date for the "Fury of the Feywild" expansion has now been set and was dated August 22, 2013 from official sources.

Quest Editor Foundry
Neverwinter included a 3D Toolset ( The Foundry ) to create your own epic quest - campaigns , which publishes the world could be played and evaluated. Other players could reward the author of these quests with in-game currency on a voluntary basis, but in principle creating their own content and playing quests created in this way was free.
