We’re Giving Away 1000 ‘Neverwinter’ Closed Beta Codes [Update: Beta Closed]

Having a few fans of Dungeons & Dragons on the Game Rant team, and a few more who loved the Neverwinter Nights games, made it easy to get excited about an MMO take on the universe and at E3 2012 we made sure to get hands-on with the free-to-play Neverwinter in development at Cryptic Studios.

We enjoyed our experience and hopped on the opportunity to play it as soon as possible when the game launched its first of three closed beta weekends last month (watch our Neverwinter gameplay videos). Today the third and most important beta weekend begins and for this one, we’d like to invite you to join us. Well, a thousand of you.

Due to the closed beta nature of the Neverwinter testing up until, the only interested players able to join are those who invest in one of the three Founders packs. They offer unique mounts, unique companions, even a unique playable race for hardcore fans opting for the ‘Hero of the North’ pack. If you want guaranteed access to the beta and the best price possible for these in-game items and features, check out the Founders options here.

Want to try out Neverwinter? Perfect World is letting us give away one thousand (1000) keys and maybe you’ve noticed we already started handing a few out via Twitter and our Facebook page. We’re going to share a load here and update with another hundred or so each our, pushing the older lists to the second, third, fourth, etc. pages so your chances of finding an unused code are higher.

The keys will grant players access to Beta Weekend 3, which begins on Friday, March 22 at 12pm PT and lasts until Sunday, March 24 at 11:59pm PT. Here’s some information about what players can look forward to in Beta Weekend 3:

• New Class: Great Weapon Fighter
• New Content: Pirates’ Skyhold and Icespire Peak Adventure Zones
• 10 More Levels: Up to Level 50
• PvP: Fight against other players for the first time!

Starting at 12:00 p.m. (PDT) on Friday, March 22, players with early access to Neverwinter’s Beta Weekend 3 can experience a wealth of new content, including the first opportunity to check out Neverwinter’s PvP system and the chance to explore the Pirates’ Skyhold and Icespire Peak Adventure Zones. In addition, players may take control of the new Great Weapon Fighter class. An increased level cap of 50, alongside many other significant improvements based directly on feedback from previous Beta Weekends, promises to make Neverwinter’s Beta Weekend 3 the best yet.
