NWN's story, will be second to none:
Lady Aribeth has a special connection to the city's elven founder, Lord Halueth Never. His tomb, long since lost, is said to be guarded by the swords of his 12 sons who have died, one by one, and taken their place beside him. The youngest of these sons, Aertriin Never, still serves as Neverwinter's protector and the Commander of its respected militia. Having to order that same militia upon its own citizenry, driven mad by the Wailing Death or eager to break quarantine and escape its clutches, has not been an easy or an honorable task. But Lady Aribeth and Lord Nasher, even Khelben 'Blackstaff' Arunsun himself, have convinced him that the dirty deed is necessary -- and so his militia line the walls of the city that his father once founded, their crossbows trained upon its infested streets.
Heroes Wanted...
They've had people working on it for 5 years. They've commited to making a game that lives up to the potential of the design they laid out before themselves.

I drew the line when they asked for my penis size.
OK I have a compromise for non MSIE browsers. I put a warning on the page for anyone using non-MSIE browsers that their browsers, though they may work, are unsupported.
apparently non MS browsers should work now...

yes... a shame.....
Server overload?
I don't really see anything that interesting about this game, maybe I haven't read up enough about it.
What are you guys looking forward to with this game (features? co-op?)?
Note that I'm not a huge fan of the AD&D genre, I much preferred Planescape: Torment/Fallout over the Baldur's Gate series.

Just keep putting in your username and password whenever it asks for it, it seems to ask after every step you take but eventually it will show you a list of assignments you can request, you can choose the ones you want, enter your login/pw info again, and then it'll show up properly.
Not sure why it takes so many steps but it shows me having requested the NWN beta now.
