A letter from Executive Producer Fernando Paiz for DDO’s 5th Birthday!

Hi Everyone-

Or perhaps I should say “Ahoy, mateys!” Yes, I will admit it: my head is full of pirate thoughts, my DDO character’s head is covered with a slick-looking pirate hat, and part of me would rather be somewhere else right now bossing around some kobolds (I don’t mean you, DDO team!).  But some things are worth taking a break from your favorite game for and this is one of those times for me as today it is my honor to officially mark DDO’s 5th birthday!

It’s hard to believe that as of today DDO has been serving up the best dungeon crawls in MMOs for half a decade! I remember before DDO: Stormreach came out, a major games magazine had us on their cover with the headline “The MMO that changes everything!” Looking back on that now, I don’t think anyone could have guessed how true that description would prove to be. DDO certainly set itself apart early with its action combat, elaborate instances and faithful interpretation of Dungeons & Dragons. Through the years, DDO maintained a unique flavor among an ever growing field of MMOs, innovating with ground breaking More >

Turbine and the Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited team are celebrating the game's fifth anniversary. DDO Unlimited’s newest update introduces a special two-part in-game event, new cosmetic items and a special gift for all players.

• Smugglers Rest (All Levels): Players from years past will recognize some of this besieged harbor, now overrun with eager pirates searching for pieces to a strewn pirate map. Adventurers can barter with Euphonia for rewards and access to the treasure of Crystal Cove – but they must all work together to open passage there. Players will explore the region, fight various Pirate-type monsters and collect dropped treasure. On occasion, a treasure map will appear revealing a hidden chest …but beware of nearby pirates.
• Crystal Cove (All Levels): Crystal Cove is a hidden mine full of crystals for the taking. Players, solo or party, will protect and manage a team of Kobold miners that will collect the valuable minerals for you. Players will manage resources such as barrels, torches and a team of kobolds while protecting them from invading pirates. Most resources will cost crystals or can be purchased in the DDO Store. Once the crystal collection quota is met, everything else will be distributed as profit More >
