Turbine, Inc. today released an update to Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited (DDO) which includes a new module, a Facebook application, and an expansion to the DDO store catalog. DDO is the most successful free MMORPG, relying on a micropayments model, which allows players to spend money only when they want an extra leg-up, extra dungeons to explore, or cosmetic changes to their character. This is their fourth major update since the transition from a monthly subscriber revenue model.
The center of the update is a new adventure module, for sale in the DDO store, called Sentinels. In this module of five adventures, players help House Deneth take out “the most vicious, blood-crazed crew of pirates ever to rove the crashing seas of Eberron”
Czinder Manawaker, CB Droege's primary DDO character, checks out an in-game map of Eberron.
In addition this update makes available the DDO Player Feed tie-in for Facebook. DDO players who also have facebook accounts can install the app, then choose which characters to include in the feed. The app will publish a note when the character logs in, then post a session report afterthe character logs out, detailing which dungeons they explored, and which new skills they obtained.
Finally, the update includes new items in the DDO Store. In addition to the new module, players will now have access to an additional two character bank slots and +3 Greater Reincarnation.
“DDO Unlimited continues to grow in every way and we are very excited to introduce our latest update,” said Fernando Paiz, Executive Producer of DDO. “The new adventure pack delivers more of our award-winning content to the millions of players in DDO and we’re hard at work on all of the new content and features we have planned for the rest of the year including Guild housing and our new playable race, the Half-orc.”
