MMORPG.com columnist Jaime Skelton recently had the opportunity to tour Dungeons & Dragons Online Update 8 with Turbine developers. Update 8 is scheduled to launch today, Monday, December 13th with a new adventure pack and new store items. Jaime's got a full report on Update 8 so check it out and leave us a comment or two when you're finished reading!
