Neverwinter AMA Answers
Neverwinter’s latest Reddit AMA was last night, and for the sake of brevity we have compiled a list of the more important/informational answers. For those of you willing to dive deep and read the full answers, you can check out the complete Reddit thread here. The overall AMA is pretty short and easily finished in under a half hour, but these are the questions that were not answered with a flat out “no,” or “I’ll make a note and send this off to the team.”
- Kobolds may become a playable race in the future.
- No DDOS comments for the time being.
- Addressing class balance on a wide scale is one of the big plans for this year.
- Changes to the Stronghold system with regards to how large/small guilds interact.
- There are plans to make Neverwinter more alt-friendly.
- Siege won’t return until some changes are made to it.
- Older content is getting an itemization refresh with The Maze Engine.
- No plans for foundry additions this year outside of bug fixes.
- Mounts will be customizable with a stable of sorts providing buffs for players with multiple mounts.
- Mounts will be moved to their own bag.
- Queue improvements include large groups (24 players, for example) and private queues for PvE.

John Smedley Reddit Highlights
Following the announcement that four of Sony Online Entertainment’s MMOs would be shutting down, John Smedley went on Reddit to take part in an Ask Me Anything with the community. While this is nowhere near all of the answers, I’ve put together some significant comments for your easy viewing. First of all, the shuttering of Free Realms and Clone Wars is SOE quitting the field of kids games.
No. No more kids games. Kids don’t spend well and it’s very difficult to run a kids game. Turns out Kids do mean stuff to each other a lot.
Did Sony learn anything from the poor performance of Wizardry Online? Somewhat.
The main thing we learned was that this particular game didn’t work in the US. I wouldn’t draw any conclusions other than that.
Next, Smedley offers a glimpse at their next game. Something to please Galaxies players.
SWG PLAYERS – OUR NEXT GAME (not announced yet) IS DEDICATED TO YOU. Once we launch it… you can come home now.
As for what this game is..
It’s called “go figure it out for yourself” 🙂
As usual, Smedley once again apologized for Star Wars Galaxies, talked about how Vanguard cannot be sold due to business reasons, and more. Check out the entire AMA at the link below.
