Neverwinter: Get a Beta Key for PreOrdering Torchlight II

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

Neverwinter fans will be happy to hear that preordering Torchlight II will also score them a closed beta key for the game. The closed beta for Neverwinter is expected to kick off later in 2012.

Preorder Torchlight II to secure your Neverwinter beta key!

As an added bonus to the purchase, anybody who pre-orders Torchlight 2 will receive access to Dungeon and Dragons Neverwinter when it enters closed beta later this year. Torchlight players will be among the first to receive a closed beta key to enter the realm of one of the year's most anticipated MMOs.

All players need to do is pre-order their copy of Torchlight 2 from Perfect World Entertainment


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    beta test access for free to play games...

    whoop-e-dooo....

    Can't believe they are using that as a sales incentive for TL2 :P

    O-HO! Crafty bastards, PWE are. I'll still stick with Steam or go directly through Runic anyway. I've got enough on my plate as it is.

    I'm going to end up buying at least two copies at release, no doubt about it. Guess I'll go ahead and pay for one now to get the beta access.

    Sweet deal.

    But when will the said beta start....that is million dollar question

    Could one potentially pre-order Torchlight 2, get their beta key and cancel Torchlight 2 pre-order? :p

    Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

    BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

    Man, remember when companies wanted to offer beta test invitations, to you know, TEST the games? Now it is just, "Pay us for this...". Not a fan...

     

    Maybe I am old and grumpy, but have you SEEN that Guild Wars 2 login screen!?!?

    That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!

    They better give closed beta to sto life timers as well.

    As an STO lifer, I have to ask: why?

    I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

    I must be of the old/grumpy persuasion also. Beta tests have turned into Beta demo....

    I think he was refering to Neverwinter being f2p,but is misunderstanding that closed betas are not always just open doors to anyone who wants to try the game.

    Torchlight II looks like a pretty decent game.  It might not be the best move to so closely associate with Cryptic and their rather dubious reputation.

    So I need to preorder it from them not steam? That's so not happening. Every game I can, I get on steam!

    Ahh the big battle of the preorder gifts: Beta key from Perfect World, or a free copy of Torchlight 1 from Steam which is giftable if you already have it
  • Ambros123Ambros123 Member Posts: 877

    Great... now the companies are sinking to a lower state by forcing people to pay other products to get Beta access?  What ever happened to giving Beta keys out to quality testers?  Whats next, $5, $10 closed Beta access keys?

    I've been following NW closely ever since it was announce but this is pathetic.

    This is getting ridiculous with this preordering stuff.  You have no idea if and when either game will ever be produced and if they will be any good.  Personally I only trust PW as far as what I can see.  I think anyone would be very foolish to do this.

    I kinda agree with this. I like Torchlight but prepurchase without a release date?

    I was waiting for tl2 back in November and what i got was a "hey you have a lot of other games to play, you won't miss our game" instead....

    It wouldn't be fair for me to judge the team working on Neverwinter by chaining them up with the poor performance of the STO team.  I will see what Neverwinter will be about, see if it's any good ,and give it a fair chance.  But will I bother with this preordering business?  No, I just don't have that blind confidence in Cryptic that I would spend money on a beta.  I like TL and I'm going to play TL2, but none of this preordering stuff.
