TenTonHammer.com - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach (commonly abbreviated DDO) is an MMORPG based on the Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Edition roleplaying game. Developed by Turbine, DDO allows players to adventure in the Eberron Campaign Setting, a supplemental rulebook (penned by Keith Baker) to the standard Dungeons and Dragons game. Players choose from a variety of races and classes, eventually determining a selection that seems most appropriate for their play styles. As an MMOG, Dungeons and Dragons Online actually steps outside of the box in many ways, taking some of the common mechanics of MMOGs and supplementing them with rules taken from the D&D roleplaying game. Instead of turn-based action, DDO features real-time combat and integrated (and necessary) voice chat. Instead of being a "sit behind your computer and hit a button every now and then", Turbine wanted DDO to really stand out as a game that brings players together and emulates the true nature of D&D.

However, DDO got off to a rocky start and several server mergers have subsequently followed, albeit for the betterment of the community. As of now, Turbine is offering a 10-day free trial for players that are interested in trying out DDO.
