Forum:Operation: Neverwinter

{{Forum post
 * The developers of Neverwinter have just announced that they will be "vaulting" seven of the game's adventure zones as part of a planned restructuring of their leveling experience. They claim that the zones will make their way back to the game, but in a heavily revised form and at an unclear schedule. Needless to say, I am skeptical of this, and I am worried we might lose out on lore in the process. When MMO content is gone, it really is gone, after all. It behooves us to document all that we can from these soon-to-be-vaulted adventure zones now. With this in mind, Ruf and I have decided to form a task force dedicated to preserving this lore before it is potentially lost forever. We previously (and successfully) did this exact thing prior to the permanent removal of the Fury of the Feywild expansion.

Anyone is more than welcome to contribute. You can either download the game and get started that way, or watch through recorded gameplay on YouTube. Most of the zones being vaulted are from the earlier parts of the game, so the time investment to reach them is not prohibitively large. You can download Neverwinter on Steam or directly from the publisher.
 * Can I help?

All of these adventure zones are filled with NPCs, creatures, and quests. Simply add whatever information you find to the wiki. The more we can cover, the better. I will also be playing through the zones and taking screenshots of all the quest text and NPCs I come across, so that we have something to refer to outside of the game (and for posterity). Keep in mind all of these zones are set in 1479 DR (except the bits with dragons... it's kind of a mess).
