Dungeons and Dragons went free to play earlier this year, and ever since then Turbine has been on the hot streak with the title. Apart from opening up a new server, Turbine noted a 40% increase in paying subscribers as a result of this program. Players are enjoying the game, paying for content, and the game has turned into an even bigger cash cow for Turbine. So I know what you’re thinking, prospective Dungeons and Dragons Online Players: Omali, how can this deal get sweeter? Does Turbine have an update, let’s call it Update 3, coming out that will make Dungeons and Dragons Online even better, even if I don’t want to pay?
That is an extremely specific question, and good enough that I have an extremely specific answer! The answer of course is yes. Turbine has raised the bar once again, offering more to free players while at the same time not detracting from the subscriber experience.
- Leveling sigils are no more, removing the limit on levels on free players.
- New high level dungeons for all players.
- Solo difficulty has been removed and replaced with “casual” difficulty. Essentially it is solo difficulty, but able to be used by groups.
- And new items in the item mall.
While you’re at it, take part in two new events in celebration of the game’s upcoming 4 year anniversary (February 26th).
Dungeons and Dragons remains among the best free to play games on the market, and if you have not checked the title out, now is as good of a time as any. Dungeons and Dragons Online still receives regular major content updates every two to three months.
