Eight Essential MMO Terms – DDO: Eberron Unlimited
Jan 5th
We understand that many new players in Dungeons & Dragons Online™ are not familiar with the 20-year-old lexicon of MMOs (short-hand for Massively Multiplayer Online Game). With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of tips designed to serve as a quick reference point for players new to the world of MMOs.
- CC – Used as shorthand for “Crowd Control” CC refers to a set of spells and abilities that can momentarily stun or paralyze mobs and players. Crowd control is essential when dealing with large groups of mobs, making a class that excels at CC a highly desirable addition to any group.
- Class – A “Class” represents a particular set of in-game abilities which determine the way a player interacts with the world, primarily during combat. The most common class types consist of melee (close-range) offense, melee defender, ranged offense, crowd control, healing and general support.
- NPC/Mob – A monster (or humanoid character) controlled by in-game AI, and never another actual player.
- AoE – An “Area of Effect” that generally refers to an area where an ability hits multiple targets.
- Aggro – This term can mean a couple things. It can apply to a hostile mob that’s noticed a player and is actively attempting More >

Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited: Update 8 Tour
Dec 13th
MMORPG.com columnist Jaime Skelton recently had the opportunity to tour Dungeons & Dragons Online Update 8 with Turbine developers. Update 8 is scheduled to launch today, Monday, December 13th with a new adventure pack and new store items. Jaime's got a full report on Update 8 so check it out and leave us a comment or two when you're finished reading!
We began our journey inside the Lordsmarch Palace, where representatives of Stormreach were gathered around, clearly upset by a new turn of events – the Droaam army had now launched a true invasion against Stormreach. This invasion forms the basis of the new adventure pack, “Attack on Stormreach.” As a continuation of the free Adventure Pack “Half-Bloods” released in Update 7, Attack on Stormreach involves players directly in the war against Droaam. While it is only available through the DDO Store or as a VIP, players will not have to have completed the previous adventure in Update 7.
