Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited News - Craig Alexander AGDC Interview

Posted by Jon Wood on Sep 25, 2009  | 23 comments in our forums

At the Austin Game Developers' Conference, Garrett Fuller spoke with Turbine's Craig Alexander about both Dungeons and Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online.

At AGDC last week we got the chance to sit down with Turbine's Craig Alexander. Craig oversees all the projects at Turbine and talked to us about the new Free-To-Play Dungeons & Dragons Online, a bit about Lord of the Rings Online, and moving MMOs to the console space. Turbine has some big plans for DDO and LOTRO, we'll go through Craig's thoughts and outline the company's approach to the future.

Dungeons & Dragons Online Unlimited was the news of September. Despite the launch of Champions Online and Aion, DDO going Free-To-Play was a big initiative in the MMO space. The game has depth and a very strong interactive combat system. Craig explained that the new model is going very well. It is still early and only two weeks into the process, but the game has seen a rise in subscriptions and the return of old subscribers as players again. Craig said that the game store is working well and players are using the micro-transaction model.
