Neverwinter Interview

The folks at MMORPG.com have sent a bevy of questions on Neverwinter to developer Cryptic, and now have published the answers in a Q&A format. If you're interested in the D&D-based MMORPG, this is a recommended read.

Here's on user generated content:
Q: Can we feasibly "level up" to max and beyond (gear) in purely user-generated content or is the Foundry end-game only?

Andy Velasquez: Yup! Players can focus completely on Foundry content to progress through the game and reach max-level. There are also some great rewards for playing through Foundry content. The Foundry is something we want players to be able to explore and enjoy as players or creators as they progress through Neverwinter. The Foundry is definitely not something meant to be reserved only for end-game play.

Q: Will all foundry content be free, or will addtional or additive content be montenized?

Andy Velasquez: The Foundry will be completely free! I'd also like to clarify that we do not have any plans to sell things like monster packs or tile sets to Foundry authors at the moment.
