Where: Groupees

As part of its Perfect World Level Up charity program, Perfect World Entertainment has teamed up with Cryptic Studios and Boys & Girls Clubs of America to run a charity drive on Groupees.com to raise funds to help level up young adventurers and celebrate the PC launch of Neverwinter’s latest major module, Jewel of the North.

Beginning today and running through Friday, August 13 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, players can visit Groupees to purchase Neverwinter in-game items and help support and empower young adventurers. 100% of Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios’ proceeds will go directly to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a non-profit organization that enables all young people, especially those who need support most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Neverwinter is a free-to-play action MMORPG featuring fast-paced combat and epic dungeons. Players explore the vast city of Neverwinter and its surrounding lands, learning the vivid history of the iconic city in the Forgotten Realms and battling its many enemies. Neverwinter is available on PC and is free to play digitally on Xbox One (Xbox Live Gold membership not required) and PlayStation®4 (PlayStation®Plus not required).

Neverwinter’s 21st module, Jewel of the North, allows all adventurers the opportunity to experience all of the epic content the free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons® MMORPG has to offer like never before. Neverwinter: Jewel of the North introduces a brand-new class, the iconic and multi-skilled Bard class, and features major quality-of-life improvements, including a new streamlined leveling system which makes content more accessible for adventurers of all experience levels. Neverwinter: Jewel of the North is available now on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and Arc Games) and will arrive on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One later this month.
