Neverwinter:
Neverwinter is an upcoming Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for the Microsoft Windows platform in development by Cryptic Studios. It is scheduled for an early 2013 release as of August 2011.[2] Based in the fictional Forgotten Realms city of Neverwinter, the game was originally scheduled to be released as a crossmedia event coinciding with the release of a series of four books by fantasy author R.A. Salvatore and a tabletop game from Wizards of the Coast.[3] Announced on August 23, 2010, Neverwinter is a standalone game and not part of the previous Neverwinter Nights series.[4] The game is scheduled to run closed beta testing from February 8, 2013 to April 14, 2013. Open beta began on April 30, 2013.[5]

Compagnions:

In Neverwinter kan je gebruik maken van zgn "Compagnions"

The companions system of Neverwinter is basically a hired-helper system available for all characters. At level 16, the quest "A Companion" becomes available from Sergeant Knox in Protectors Enclave.

Companions can be purchased for gold, Astral Diamond, seals, Ardent Coins, Trade Bars, or found as rare drops. Additional companions can be acquired from the Grand Emporium in Protectors Enclave, or from the Zen market. A unique companion is also included in each of the Founder's Packs.

Crafting:
Professions are the crafting skills in Neverwinter. Professions provide a way to make armor and/or earn currency, items, and experience. Unlocked at level 10, the profession system involves hiring Craftsmen and sending them out to perform tasks. A single craftsman for each profession can be acquired by performing a simple five-second task for each profession. These tasks take up a certain amount of time, though there is an option of spending Astral Diamonds to complete a task instantly. All of this is done through the Professions window, which is normally bound to the "N" key.

Many tasks also require Resources, which are consumable items most often collected by using Skills and Kits on various nodes throughout the world. Tools are also available that can be used to increase the chance of greater rewards, and assigning higher-quality craftsmen, or more craftsman, to a task will reduce the time required to complete the task. Both craftsmen and tools are known as Assets, neither of which are consumed when performing tasks.

Unlike in most other MMOs, professions do not have to be learned by speaking to a trainer, and characters are not limited to a specific number of professions. Instead, they have between one to nine slots for performing tasks; a character can only perform an available task if they have an open slot. Additionally, most tasks have a minimum profession level requirement; characters gain profession levels by performing tasks that award experience for that profession.
