Dungeons & Dragons Online Becoming Free-to-play

21
Turbine today announced that it will relaunch its MMO Dungeons & Dragons Online this summer as Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited, a free-to-play version of the massive online game.

Players will be able to download and play the game at no cost, with a new DDO Store providing revenue in the form of content and item sales. Dungeon packs, character slots, potions, character customization, and hired goons will all be available for purchase with Turbine Points. Turbine will also launch a "DDO VIP" program that will grant access to all premium content for a monthly price. Benefits include priority server access, 10 character slots, a shared bank, and a monthly pack of 500 Turbine Points to spent at the DDO Store.

Dungeons & Dragons Online was launched in February 2006. Turbine has since updated the title with eight modules.

    Somehow I didn't even know this game existed. Anybody know if it's any good or not?

      I think you answered your own question?

      I want a 4e-based tactical game. GIMME!!

      I think you answered your own questions. You probably would have heard of it if it was good

      I played it for a couple months after launch... I didn't think it was a bad game or anything, just didn't feel it was worth 15$/month to me... I probably would have played longer at a lower price point.

      Of course that was quite awhile back, and I have no idea what all has been changed since. But I guess I'll find out whenever this new version launches. :P

      It depends. What do you like about D&D, and specifically the Eberron setting?

      Because most of those things, not present in DDO

      Bring 3 friends, and it's almost as good as Table Top, the "active" combat is much better than most MMOs, and all my D&D nerd friends think it's the bee's knees
