Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited Review

The favorable reviews for Turbine’s revised version of Dungeons & Dragons Online continue, with MMORPG.com handing out a solid 8/10 and this promising conclusion:

I won’t hide the truth: I fell in love with DDO. The fact that it offered something different, that I could sucker friends into playing without them having to spend a dime to try it, and that the storytelling of the game felt so true to that of the pen and paper DDO lured me in quickly. It has thoughtfulness put into its mechanics and gameplay, and is friendly for casuals and alt-a-holics. More than anything, I was impressed with the enthusiasm of the team behind the game, who demonstrated more excitement about their own content than any game development team I’ve interacted with.

DDO is not a perfect game, and has room for improvement. The new player experience still needs to be smoothed out, and a less lobby-like feel to the game would be a fantastic change in the right direction. For what it is today, however, it is a great game, and deserves a try. Yes, even for those who once set it aside years ago on its initial launch.
