Underwater Combat Comes To Dungeons & Dragons Online
The latest update to the free-to-play MMO Dungeons & Dragons Online features new adventures, monsters, and locations, including a trek beneath the waves.
This will be the sixth major update for the game, which has been quietly expanding the scope of its content for some time now. The biggest addition to the game this time around is a new area called the Red Fens, a swamp that includes both above and below water sequences. A hidden temple, a village of drow elves, and an assaulting army of froglike sahuagin await.
Incidentally, DDO is also at the tail end of its Summer Bonus Days, a promotion that offers a static 10% bonus on earned XP, as well as numerous discounts on the premium items available for purchase in the DDO store. The incentives run through Thursday, August 26th.
Dungeons & Dragons Online probably isn't going to give World of Warcraft a run for its money any time soon, but the game has carved out an impressive spot in the free-to-play arena by offering a full-featured game that utilizes the world's oldest and most recognizable role-playing system. If you've never tried the game, consider signing up for an account and checking out the new content.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
