Dec 1st
The Jester of the Festivult is now available in the game! He’s looking for your copper, silver, and gold festival coins to exchange for wondrous festive treats! You can also drop by My.DDO to say hello to the Jester! The Jester is a disguised "friend of the Coin Lords."

He will exchange festival coins for gifts crafted specially for the season from House Ghallanda and House Cannith! Just bring festival coins to the Jester of the Festivult, and he will give you a random gift from his festival bag of holding! Don’t forget to stop by the DDO Store for great holiday deals and festive fun! How To Find Festival Coins
Throughout the holiday season, every treasure chest in the game has a chance of dropping “festival coins” in addition to the usual treasure! Whether the chest is in a free dungeon or an adventure pack, there is equal opportunity for coins! There are three types of coins: copper, silver, and gold. Copper is the most common festival coin, while gold is the most rare!

Making Epic Dungeons – DDO: Eberron Unlimited
Nov 23rd
Join developers Torc, Piloto, and Eladrin as they discuss one of the new dungeon features in DDO Unlimited!
Greetings from the development team! Today we’d like to talk a little more about a new feature that can only be described as EPIC… no, it really is “epic.” We’ve introduced a new difficulty level into select adventure packs called “Epic Difficulty!”
Throughout our game, players can enter dungeons on Normal, Hard, and Elite settings to adjust the challenge (and rewards) they experience in quests. This is great as you level through the game, but we felt more could be done. What if you want something insanely challenging? What happens after you’ve out-leveled that adventure pack you purchased at lower levels? We wanted to inject new life into some of our classic adventure packs, and create new goals for our high level characters to work towards. Epic difficulty accomplishes both of these things, and more!
Epic difficulty can only be selected if your character is level 20. After all, it’s EPIC! We’d never expect that a mere level 1 to 19 character could face these… you guessed it… “epic” dungeons. By the time you’ve reached level 20 in DDO, you’ve gotten a real feel for More >

Gender-bending Will Be Banned – Chinese Aion Publisher
Nov 4th
This may be a "miracle" in MMOG’s history. Aurora Technology, a subsidiary of Shanda and is responsible fore publishing Aion and Dungeon and Dragons Online recently annouced a new function in game – Gender Identity System. With this system, players who wants to creat a female character will be asked to pass a webcam test at first. Male players who play female charachters will be banned after being checked.
King of the World, a game already took gender identity system.
Aurora explained that they cut out the middleman in the equation to prevent gender-bending cheaters. And they believed that restoring player’s real gender can make female players feel respected.
Player’s Comments on Chinese company bans gender-bending Syena This is utterly ridiculous. You should be able to play any gender you want in a game. It’s a game. Not a dating service. Scuffles You ever get the feeling like one of the company higher ups started to get all romantic with a female "player" only to find out it was guy later on?
How do you think about the Gender Identity System?
Yay! I really hate it when a guy plays a girl.
I like play female characters!
LOL. Shenanigans!
None of my business.
