Cryptic's Andy Velasquez has posted the final 2013 State of the Game letter for Neverwinter. In it, the game's accomplishments since launch are highlighted and Velasquez gives a few hints about things to come in 2014.
The bulk of Shadowmantle is just part of what we have been working on for the past few months. We have had a strike team of developers whose single goal is to create events that we can run for everyone every other week. These events range from simply collecting free goodies as they randomly drop in the world (Tymora’s Gift), to creating entire new zones with special events and brand new physics technology (Winter Festival). The team has done a superb job cranking through various events, and will look to expand and improve upon them before they appear again.
In addition to the main Shadowmantle content and recurring events, we have been hard at work on changes that some of you might never see. If you did not know, Neverwinter has been available to play in English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Turkish languages for a while. We have just recently added Russian to the list of supported languages, as well as launched a completely separate shard for Russian players to use! This is completely new ground for Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment, as we have never supported this many languages in this many regions of the world before, but it has been worth the effort.

After I also raised voice against it numerous times, I must say I'm very glad to read this line:
"After the massive amounts of feedback that we received here, we decided to remove the AD cost of refinement. We read through as much feedback as we can and all of it is appreciated!"
Thanks, TheSquez, great christmas gift indeed.
(khm, and what about those who already spent 25k's or at the higher tiers 100k's of AD on the Potencies? oh, nevermind, removing it is more than enough.)

Drow and Hunter Ranger is open to everyone.
You still have to spend AD for mats to allow you to upgrade in the refinement process.
I noticed too... but there was no patch since they fixed the bag overload exploit at the event start, so I guess it's only fair to at least wait for the next update.
more like asleep if you ask me
To stiff, tried to like it but nah.

It's ironic, as China is always the country that gets the bad rap for gold-famers/sellers. However, I once watched a documentary on how popular the business of gold-farming/power-leveling services are in Russia and the Ukraine, but I rarely find mention of it anywhere, until seeing your post.
Further irony is I can't remember China being mentioned in the doc at all; however, that doc came out in the mid 2005-2007 (if memory serves me) so China may have been mentioned and I very well may just not remember.
Another exploit? What they got, an exploit of the week or something? Seems like there is always an exploit going on. A testiment to their competence.
I wanted to love Neverwinter sooo badly! I truly did. However, I just found it to be the mother of all money-sinks that shall see no equal to the end of days.
I do miss my cleric, but not enough to want to go back to that cesspool of greed which seems to accompany all PWE games I've attempted to play.
What are you smoking? That is racial profiling and do you not know the backlash that would result? Also having their own server does not prevent them from rolling on other servers.
And really this is just proof of Craptic's incompetence. Dozens of MMOs provide global access without any issues. The exploits are all on the developer's side of the house for not putting in the proper protocols and with Neverwinter's never ending exploits it is no surprise if people are taking advantage of it.
Neverwinter is a crap MMO and is getting it's just deserts.
Make it two but both were handled pretty fast, right at the start. (so the festival started with 2 patches on the first 2 days...)
And it wasn't a big deal, just allowed folks to win a few events on the first 2 days. Based on the massive amount of grind the festival brought, it was like earning 100m headstart - on a 42km long marathon
Just for the record. Nationality is not Race.
