Title: Dungeons & Dragons Online - FREE
Post by: Rico on September 29, 2009, 02:16:32 PM
For those wanting to try a cool, fantasy-based MMO (for free), I learned that D&D Online is now all FREE (for the game and to play I think).  I tried this out a long time ago when it was in Beta.  Learn more at:   http://www.ddo.com (http://www.ddo.com)

Cool!  Although I have to guiltily admit that I would love to play the only table-top version again.  Haven't done it in years.

Wow, I will have to check this out.  I was an old school D&D player back in college and still have my old character sheets laying around in hopes that our game might get back together some day.  I heard mixed reports about this MMO but was heavily into WoW at the time so I never tried it.  I wonder if this free play is a permament change or just a limited time to suck in new players.

I think the pay is free, but it will cost to unlock a few things

Well, I played a little of this (for free) this morning.  It is definitely free, but has a few limitations (like Chris said above).  You can certainly enjoy a good part of the game completely for free.  Here's a chart of what you get for free and upgrade levels.  More info here:  http://www.ddo.com/vip (http://www.ddo.com/vip)
