This content is clearly distinguished so as not to confuse users, and they are informed whether they are playing user-generated or official content. Players are also able to create whole new locations that may or may not conform to the lore on which the rest of the game is based. The included locations are based on the novels Gauntlgrym, Neverwinter, and Charon's Claw. In the aftermath of the Spellplague and a Primordial Fire Elemental's almost destroying Neverwinter, as seen in the novel Gauntlgrym, the remaining citizens form factions and struggle for dominance over the populace as the dead begin to rise and attack 'the city they once called home.' The player is investigating the Sect Crown of Neverwinter and trying to figure out what the skeletons and another mysterious group are looking for. The setting of Neverwinter takes place in a time when the eponymous city is plunged into chaos after the disappearance of the last Lord of Neverwinter. In April 2019, all eight classes received varying levels of balance and adjustments and each class was renamed to align with 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. Many of the subsequent modules would have ties to 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons storylines, such as Elemental Evil, Storm King's Thunder, Tomb of Annihilation, Ravenloft and Undermountain. In August 2014, the Tyranny of Dragons module was used to bridge the narrative gap between the game and the then recently released 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. On October 5, 2011, it was announced that the gameplay of Neverwinter would be re-structured into a free-to-play MMORPG with extra items and other advantages available for purchase for an as yet unannounced fee. So it's more of a story-based game closer to things like Dragon Age or Oblivion, which we really try to follow. There's a very strong storyline throughout the game. It's not an MMO in the sense that there aren't zones with hundreds-and-hundreds of people. A player-created content system codenamed 'Foundry' allows players to create their own stories and quests. This includes the use of healing powers and action points, the latter of which is implemented through a system referred to as dailies, allowing a player to perform a special ability by accumulating enough action points through combat. Neverwinter was originally based on a modified version of the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition rules set. Players can become one of eight Dungeons & Dragons character classes and form groups of up to five player characters (PCs).
