Dungeons and Dragons Online replay

This month we've been revisiting Dungeons and Dragons Online, the MMO version of the massive pen-and-paper role-playing game that so many of us grew up on. Dungeons and Dragons Online launched in 2006 to mixed success, but it still has a devoted core of players who form a strong DDO community. With fourteen updates under its belt, DDO has certainly moved with the times, but does it stand up to the newer, bigger MMOs on the scene these days? Find out with us as we replay Dungeons and Dragons Online.

Originally released in 2006, this online realisation of Wizard of the Coast's incredibly successful and ubiquitous pen-and-paper game never really enjoyed equivalent popularity, perhaps in part due to the decision to replace tabletop turn-based rules with adapted real-time combat.

While this seems like a sensible decision to most MMO gamers, many diehard Dungeons & Dragons fans were not so open to change. Nevertheless, if you can accept Turbine's reworking of the ruleset, then there's great team adventuring to be had in the relatively new (to the D&D universe) land of Eberron. DDO still enjoys a relatively small, but very strong community and the game has been well nurtured with an impressive series of updates since 2006, fourteen in all. The latest is Module 6 (see Update reviews in this issue), which continues to tweak the balance of the game, a delicate process that has been ongoing since launch.
