Neverwinter vs World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor

Neverwinter is a free-to-play, action MMORPG based on the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. Explore and defend one of the most beloved cities from the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting as it rises from the ashes of destruction, taking you from besieged walls to subterranean passageways. Set a hundred years after the Spellplague and decades after a devastating volcanic eruption, the Jewel of the North is being rebuilt under Lord Neverember's protection. Brave adventurers from across the Savage North must answer the call to help restore the city while fighting off evil forces conspiring in the dark places of the world.

Set after Mists of Pandaria, Warlords of Draenor sends players to the original orc homeworld before its fall. Players confront the Iron Horde, build personal Garrisons, and experience legendary Warcraft characters in an expanded open world. The expansion raises the level cap to 100, adds account-wide heirlooms, and introduces class‑specific perks, while updating character models and offering a deep, time‑bending storyline that reshapes Warcraft lore.
