There is a new module for Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach. Today, Turbine announced the release of the newest content module "Litany of the Dead Part One" for DDO. This is the third such module to be released for DnD's forray into the world of MMORPGs:

 

TURBINE PRESENTS LITANY OF THE DEAD PART ONE FOR DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™: STORMREACH™

New Content Module Brings Players to the City of Necropolis

WESTWOOD, MA – August 16, 2006 – Turbine, Inc. announced today the release of the third content module for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™: Stormreach™ (DDO), the first and only massively multiplayer online (MMO) roleplaying game based on the world-renowned DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® brand franchise from Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS). The Litany of the Dead Part One module pits players against Brother Salasso, the fearsome Vampire. Turbine will offer the Litany of the Dead Part One module free of charge for all current DDO subscribers. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS is under license from the Hasbro Properties Group, the intellectual property development arm of Hasbro.

“We’ve been very busy since the launch of DDO adding content and improving features in the game,” said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc. “The Litany of the Dead is the first of a three part story that delivers epic quests, fearsome monsters and one of the best MMO experiences available today.”

The Litany of the Dead Part One module features five compelling new dungeons that provide a variety of additional content for advanced players in the game, including surprises around every corner that will challenge the most jaded adventurer. The Litany of the Dead Part One is the first in a series of three planned modules that will provide new content and features for DDO. Turbine will continue to release additional modules over time that add new content, features, and other improvements to the hit MMOG.

Published by Atari, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATAR), DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE has been enthusiastically received by many gaming critics, including The New York Times, PC Gamer, Game Informer and many more.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE: Stormreach recreates the essence of the classic pen-and-paper roleplaying experience - with an emphasis on non-grinding, instanced quests that provide a unique, immersive experience for each party. Authentic features in the game include customizable characters; dungeons filled with devious traps; monsters and stories from the Eberron® campaign setting; an on-screen d20 (20-sided die) and a dungeon master. The unique online world of Stormreach™ is a bustling city with thousands of players from around the world. It represents a new paradigm for the MMO genre with unique features including party-based quests, integrated voice chat, real-time action combat, and award winning graphics.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE: Stormreach is currently available online and in retail stores for $49.99. Additional information can be found at www.ddo.com.

This actually isn't module three. Module three is a bigger release that will come in another month or two. This is some sort of smaller patch

Therefore DDO module 2.5 ... good, I'm glad to see Turbine is continuing the tradition of D&D version naming. 

OK ok, that was for humor's sake.  Honestly I don't know of another company that has given so much additional gameplay for their MMOG free of charge.  With everyone else, you get what came in the box until the publisher delivers another box for you to buy.

I don't wanna hear about how this or that "should've" been in at release.  Given a chance, gamers (or at least the ones who post) want *everything* at release and go into instant-whine mode the minute they power-grind their way through the shortest path to max (ignoring, of course, the 90% of content not previously posted as the best xp/loot per picosecond method). 

DDO:  more fun, less grinding.

Be seeing you.

So true, I'm not playing DDO right now but this is all I ever saw.  People moaning there isn't anything to do in DDO and then sprinting their way to the end of an instance and running the same things over and over again ignoring about 90% of everything else.

I think Turbine is doing a great job with this game.

They are really listening to the community and giving them what they want.  Their isntance design is als the best their is.

How many times can he say "we are adding more content" in one paragraph and make it sound different??

You are on a ship and there is 6 inches of water at your feet. You tell the captain the boat is taking on water, do you think he would listen?

SOE has the pass and quite a few titles to prop one game's bad design changes. Turbine doesn't exactly have any shattering releases at the moment that are bringing in that thing called money.
