Beta wekends February 8-10, March 8-10 and March 22-24
Neverwinter has three tiers of Founder's Packs for purchase. The first, priced at $19.99 (valued at $49), is more of a starter kit — players purchasing this tier are not guaranteed beta access. What they do get is this:
• ‘Adventurer's Helper Pack' containing six different types of in-game items
• ‘Small Bag of Holding' for twelve extra inventory slots
• ‘Amulet of Protection' item
Next up is the Guardian of Neverwinter Pack, which offers entry into all three beta weekends, a three day head start into the open beta, and $149 worth of in-game items for $59.99, including...
• Three-day head start access to Neverwinter Open Beta
• Unique ‘Gold Moonstone Mask Regalia' head piece
• Unique ‘Armored Horse' mount
• Unique ‘Direwolf Companion'
• In-game and forum ‘Founder' title
But wait, there's more!
Those hungry for some hot renegade Dark Elf action can shell out $199.99 for the Hero of the North Founder's Pack. They'll score beta access, a five-day head start to the open beta, and the exclusive playable Menzoberranzan Renegade race, complete with special racial abilities, a tattoo, and a panther companion, just like a certain Drow ranger. All told it's $549 worth of virtual stuff.
• Five-day head start access to Neverwinter Open Beta
• Beta Weekend Friend Invite code
• Exclusive access to ‘Menzoberranzan Renegade', a Drow playable race like the legendary ranger Drizzt Do'Urden, complete with unique racial abilities and tattoo
• Unique ‘Armored Spider' mount
• Unique ‘Panther Companion'
• In-game and forum ‘Founder' title
• VIP Game Access to skip-the-line and get priority log-in access

Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

NWN has a special place in my heart. However, I would never pay $200 upfront, not for this game. The shoes they have to fill are just too large, the chance this game will be horrible is too large.
Dont do it fellas.
This whole tiered setup just seems grimy and exploitative. $19.99 doesnt even guarantee beta access?
Since Kotaku let the cat out of the bag, we've gone ahead and news'd our info as well.
