These two factors make every moment feel like a real adventure in DDO, as opposed to the standard MMO recipe of having the player repeat similar quests again and again until max level. Having your adventures narrated really adds to the suspense GameplayĭDO has managed what very few games have in terms of itemization, gear feels important from the start.Įvery quest also feels at least somewhat important. At times you will only hear monsters in the distance, or doors opening in secret rooms. The music is very moody as well, with some great sound effects on top. As an avid Dungeons & Dragons fan this is one of my favorite aspects of the game. Speaking of immersion, having a dungeon master narrate your adventures really adds to it! Even low-level adventures are narrated. There certainly is much to look at in Dungeons & Dragons Online. The graphics in DDO are certainly good enough to get immersed in the world and once you get going you’re not paying much attention to the graphics being a bit outdated. We play those for the story, community, and gameplay, which we will soon get to. If we wanted good graphics we would be playing AAA titles right? Not decade-old MMOs. That is what happens to most MMOs though and I can think of only World of Warcraftwhen it comes to the older generation of MMORPGs that have been able to successfully update its graphics in any meaningful way. GraphicsĭDO is a 15-year-old game and when it comes to graphics it’s definitely a bit dated. It’s not the biggest population, but more than big enough for an MMO community to prosper. What re-sparked my interest in the game was actually reading a presentation on the sale of Daybreak and Standing Stone Games that stated that the monthly active player numbers for DDO were nearly 50.000 players. It’s now 2023 and it’s been at least six years since my last visit to Eberron, so I figured it was once again time to revisit. Dungeons & Dragons Online was for a long time one of those MMOs that I came back to time and again ever since its launch in 2006.
