General Discussion

As part of the two year anniversary celebrations for Dungeons and Dragons Online, Turbine is inviting previous players to return to Stormreach for free from March 5th to March 11th.

Dungeons & Dragons Online™: Stormreach™ (DDO) is celebrating its second anniversary! To mark this special occasion, we're inviting our previous players to come and enjoy all of the new DDO content for FREE from March 5-11, 2008!

Play your old characters, check out the 2nd Anniversary celebration events, and earn +25% bonus experience! Just log into your DDO account from March 5-11, 2008 and we'll take care of the fun and adventure. Here are some things that were added to the game since you were last here:

Module 6: The Thirteenth EclipseNew

• Level Cap = 16th Level!
• 5 New Dungeons!
• Crafting Comes to Eberron!
• New Raid Bosses - Fiendish and Fearsome!
• UI Skins - Custom UI Skinning (more info)!

For a full list of what's new in Module 6: The Thirteenth Eclipse, click here.

Read more here.

Turbine does not delete characters so everyone should be able to pick up where they left off when they quit DDO. 

If anyone is on Ghallanda and would like a tour of some of the newer content I'd be willing to show them around. 

Is this also for the EU version?

nah not really

i never feel sorry for Corporations but i almost feel sorry for poor old (A)D&D.   Nearly every game company that tried to capture the depth of paper Dungeons and Dragons has missed the mark.

The last semi-worthwhile rendition of the franchise was waaay back in the Strategic Simulations "Gold Box Series" days.

Well DDO is attempting to at least...I think.  And from what I am hearing from the developers we will get more of a D&D experience when they upgrade to the 4.0 edition of the rules, plus you can expect things like  Elven Capes, Mounts for Paladins, Actual pets for Rangers instead of familiars ....and the city of doors thing in Stormreach is going away  they are going to make that part more traditional with Villages, and cities....it's not going to be that  hard they basically will be reusing much of AC-2's land mass for that. I think folks will be impressed withe where DDO is going in the next year.

Kate hints about it in her interview, but they are keeping things under wraps......  anyone that frequents the offices knows what’s going on, they have been working on this very quietly for the past year...actually since Ken left.

  You will want to be around for the Birthday celebration, I can tell you that.
