quote: Attention D&D fans, it looks like the first full expansion to the Turbine's increasingly popular Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO) is coming this Summer and with it comes the free-to-play opportunity to venture into the Forgotten Realms setting for the very first time. As the name implies, the Menace of the Underdark expansion will take players into the vast subterranean world of the Underdark, offer an increased level cap, the new Druid class and more. Check out an official breakdown of key features below.
NEW FEATURES:
• Journey to the Forgotten Realms – Experience the classic fantasy and adventure of D&D’s most imaginative and renowned setting. Arrive in the village of Eveningstar and adventure through the surrounding King’s Forest wilderness area where the citizens of the nation of Cormyr must unite to face a new threat to the Realms.
• Brave the caverns of the Underdark- Come face to face with the Underdark Drow and Lolth, their Queen and goddess, as you explore this vast and twisted, subterranean world. Infiltrate the Drow stronghold of Shindylryn – the city of portals – where Lolth’s forces work to further her schemes.
• Attain Epic levels to 25! Forge your Epic Destiny and create a unique Epic hero with powerful character customization options as you advance beyond level 20 to epic level 25.
• Play the Druid Class- Play as the all new shape-shifting Druid class! Wield nature’s magic or transform into a powerful animal form with this classic D&D class.
Should be interesting to see what they do with Cormyr and all.

| Wow, I don't really play DDO, though I have played around with a couple characters at different times, but this is great. I'll definitely be looking for this in the summer, especially if it stays free to play. |

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding." Alaundo of Candlekeep |

It's really too bad that I don't always have the internet connection required for MMO's... because this Cormyr-tidbit, plus the bit about the druid class, has me intrigued enough to want to check this out. |
