Anyone playing this MMO? I just heard that it is so expensive to get anything and is pay to win. Wish they would remake Neverwinter Nights.

It's actually quite a fun MMO with no real need to buy stuff with your own money, though the temptation is certainly there. It plays well as an SP game for the most part though it's certainly easier with 2 or more. Some dungeons require at least 5 people, but they are optional. Give it a try if you're at all interested.

Looking just at graphics... it looks to me like a strange blend of WoW and KoA: Reckoning...

Other than similarly over stylized armor it doesn't resemble either at all. Though hardly photo-realistic it is (thankfully) not cartoony at all.

Lol, the narrator is the same narrator used in Lotro. Weird.

Overall, a terrible trailer for people unfamiliar with the game - I hardly know what she's talking about most of the time except some dude named Kessel.

About Neverwinter I suggest reading some of Steam users short reviews (at the bottom):
http://store.steampowered.com/app/109600/

There are more than 3K of those, so pick a few randomly.

Or just read this review and comments on it, at least for fun:

Anyway, after reading if you're still eager to play it, you can get 17 ingame items for a cheap price here:

No, just like all other Perfect World Entertainment titles, it's not pay2win.
