Looks like a "pay to win", but I'll give it a look if it ever downloads.
I prefer the subscription method to the store, everyone starts on even ground. Balance and challenge, and grind are based on the desire for excellent gameplay, not on improving store sales.
been playing it, having a little fun with it, but is there any open world adventure area ? or is it all city to to city quick travel ? It does not feel very epic at least in the lower levels, I can see a draw to the game for a certain type of player, I have enjoyed D&D for years, more than I care to admit, I am afraid outside of the flashy particle effects, there just does not seem to be a lot of meat on the bone unless the game really opens up later on,,just my own personal view..:)

its nowhere on the level of like gw2 for zone size but they are big enough to want to have a mount to travel around
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

After playing for a week or so I have come to the conclusion that this is a typical Perfect World game, it is blatantly pay-to-win.
Here is an excellent article on the various funding methods: http://www.reddit.com/r/Neverwinter/comments/1dry0g/neverwinters_f2p_model_what_you_need_to_know/
Take particular notice of how runes work. If you want to pvp in this game it will cost you a years subscription at minimum.
This is the major reason I avoid PW owned games, upgrading things is just a big gamble.
Anyone giving this game anything higher than a 5 rating is getting paid to do it.
