4There's a Dungeons & Dragons Online Q&A on GameZone today, asking Turbine's Ken Troop and Dave Eckelberry about this upcoming MMORPG. The GameZone guys ask about the D&D ruleset implemention, the skills and professions, carrying components for spells, guild support, economy and a few other things.

The fact that they didn't begin playtesting without cheat codes until the last few weeks just screams clusterfuck. Because of this they didn't realize that under the existing D&D 3.5 ruleset, casters get a VERY limited number of spells, such a low number that casters were out of spells within the first half-hour of play.
Combine this with the lack of many of the core classes and races present in the Eberron world, and you will alienate a good portion of your fanbase. Taking out D&D gnomes is akin to Blizzard removing orcs from World of Warcraft.
All of this info came from one of their dev journals I read a week or two ago
