There was a critical bug exposed on Sunday in Neverwinter, which led to hours of downtime. PWE just announced the issue had been fixed (the server will be reopened soon) but some players had already made use of the exploit to get benefits. Therefore, the publisher has taken appropriate action against those who took advantage of the bug, "including but not limited to enforcing permanent bans." For all players, their progress between 5:20 AM and 12:20 PM Pacific Time will be lost in a rollback.

Cryptic Studios announced with a press release that more of its veteran developers have returned to the studio following tenures elsewhere.

The MMO studio says it’s “unifying legacy expertise with fresh perspectives”
"Cryptic Studios and Gearbox Publishing are today very happy and excited to announce that "Neverwinter: Menzoberranzan" (Neverwinter’s 25th module) is now available for PC (via Steam), Xbox (via the Microsoft, and Playstation via digital stores (as announced at Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons Direct 2023 showcase)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It's for that online game, correct? I always wanted to see the drows home from Drizzt's books, I've read those years ago, but I never could fully imagine it from text alone. Looks a bit bright compared to what I remember how it was described, but I'm guessing that's for gameplay reasons.
