For those that don't know, dungeons and dragons online is a free to play MMORPG that won just about every free to play MMORPG award there was.

...And now it just got better

Notes:

Some of the major enhancements from previous version:

No more leveling sigils:
Now free to play players can go from level 1 to 20 without having to run the same dungeon over and over again trying to pull one.

Resurrection: Character suck? Just tired of you current build? Resurrect it and roll all new stats without losing your level or gear. Or better yet, hit level 20 and then true resurrect in to a new character that is even more powerful with access to feats from your past life.

New, Free quests:
    *  the Demon's Den. (CR 18)
    *  Acid Wit. (CR 15)
    * Delirium. (CR: 15)
    * Mired in Kobolds. (CR: 13)

I've played the last two, they both drop good loot, Delirium is hilarious while Mired in Kobolds has a surprise ending optional that is a real beast but totally worth doing if you think you can win.

Difficulty: Casual
For quests you can't beat, and for quests you want to solo that you could not before.

Hirelings:
Suck less but are still not a replacement for another player (unless that player also sucks).

Monks:
Now slightly better?

Arcane Archer:
Bows are now a useful weapon!

Wizard Pale Master:
I've respec'd one of my wizards to pale master, it's loving great and their summons are actually useful.

Other stuff:

I find DDO incredibly boring.

I find tails incredibly boring.

[tails]

Sorry i was too busy being boring to respond sooner :(

[Wynd_Fox]

Lol. I didn't like DDO when I tried it, but I might try it again.

[Dippindots]

I dislike DDO, and all those classes already existed.

[Bisjac]

why is it free? i thought it was a retail game. and only like 5 years old at most?

I dislike DDO, and all those classes already existed.

In DDO there were no pale masters or arcane archers and they are not classes in DDO but prestige enhancements.

why is it free? i thought it was a retail game. and only like 5 years old at most?

It was a monthly fee game, now it's free to play. Not all the content is free however and can be earned in game by getting favor from completing quests or just buying turbine points.

I used to play it and it was a great game if you played in groups. Alone isn't as fun :I

[tails]

I playing now, The family crypt thing made me piss myself.

Now i'm LFG but nobody will :(

[zz_tophat]

No one looks for people that are LFG, I don't know why but most people just put up an LFM and wait for people to join.

Maybe I should get back into it if I can reroll characters. The fact that you only start off with like 2 slots pissed me off and I kept on deleting characters and making new ones and stuff

[Ryuu]

Sounds fun. I should start playing it again. :D

You have 2 slots on every server, so you could have just made new characters on different servers.

In order to re-roll to level 1 rather than just respec everything at your current level you have to reach level 20. But if you do that you are a far stronger than a character did not re-roll (2 extra points at creation for each time you do it on top of the fact that is upgrades your 28 points build to a 32 point build and the past life feats.) However there is one "super feat" for completionists that gives a +2 to all stats and generally makes you a god among mortals and all you have to do to get it? Re-roll enough times to play every class up to 20 with the same character.

Good luck with that goal, it took me 3 months to get to 20 with 1 character. I'd imagine in a year and a half or so we will see some completionists walking around.
