| ⚫ | '''''Dungeons & Dragons Online''''' (or ''DDO'') is the [[MMORPG]] counterpart to [[Dungeons & Dragons|the pen-and-paper game we all know and love/hate]] (mostly based on edition 3.5). As such, it has all the dice-rolling, kobold-smacking goodness of Dungeons and Dragons, with all the button-mashing, leet-speaking addiction of an MMORPG. |

It was launched by Turbine in 2006 as ''Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach''. The game has since been renamed ''Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited''. (The latest update appears to have removed ''Eberron Unlimited'' from the logo, but is still referred to as such in reference materials and on the main website.) It is based in the campaign world of [[Eberron]] (yeah, [[Magitek|the Magitek one]]) and is set on the fictional continent of Xen'drik. After years of being a pay-to-play game, it was rebranded as a free-to-play game with premium content that could be accessed by becoming a VIP (which is simply maintaining a paid subscription) or spending Turbine Points on it. |
