Dungeons & Dragons Online

I do hate MMOs.

I love Dungeons & Dragons Online.

I just cannot get into WoW, though.

I can only click the button number one so many times.

Hey there, this is Travis Willingham, and you're listening to DDO Players News.

Good day, everyone.

This is Planet Needles, and welcome to DDO Players News, where we take a look at the latest in DDO and on the tabletop.

And please welcome my co-host from Ravenloft, Draculeta.

Hey now, everybody.

Let us know.

Do

they have target dummies in DDO?

We should talk about that, yeah.

Back, back in the old-timey days, I was the founder, CEO, CTO of Turbine, which made Asheron's Call, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons Online.

And back in the day, the MMOs gave you a friend to play with on the internet, which was a big deal back in the year 2000.

So it naturally draws people in, and we discovered that 80% of MMO players ... play with somebody they know.

Technical difficulties, please stand by.

This is a question from Brandon who writes, I recently discovered that DDO has a win button you can buy on the store for 25 DDO points.

For a quarter of your real money you can click the button see yourself winning quote unquote as the card as the card bar completes and see a festive celebration with a raid warning announcing that you have won ddo as writers if you could throw any ridiculous or inside joke references into an mmo like the ddo pay to win button what would you do I never knew that this was a thing, first of all.

I had no idea either.

I was amused by it.

I kept on getting amused by it.

So the fact that DDO has a pay to win button, that's hilarious.

Now, something like that, I feel like, Precisely that exact same idea would be funny to see in Final Fantasy XIV.

Powercell Standard requests for Sean, what's your go-to TTRPG, card game, board game to play with friends?

Uh, let's go with, uh, Dungeons and Dragons Online.

Marco Johnny: Guilty Gear Alucard, Torch of Truth.

Elder Scrolls Online.

Appreciate it very much.

I love the DDO community.

Just thanks for sticking in there with me as I go through all this.

And hopefully things will get better soon and we'll get back onto a more semi-regular schedule.

I hope so.

Good day, everyone.

This is Pine and Needles, and welcome to DDO Players News, where we take a look at laces in DDO and on the tabletop.

And please welcome my co-host from Ravenloft, Draculeta.

so.

And the game that we're going to be bringing from that setting is also, speaking of, the most recent game we are playing on the episode today, which is Dungeons & Dragons Online.

But more specifically, the expansion titled Vecna Unleashed.

Dungeons & Dragons Online originally came out all the way back in 2006, right? So it's another long-running MMORPG, just like Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft and all these other ones.

It was developed by Turbine from 2006 to 2016, but then was taken over by Standing Stone Games starting in 2016.

And they are still the developers...

That's weird.

And then the most recent expansion was August of last year, The Chill of Ravenloft.
