Announcing Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited!

[Tolero]

We're very pleased to announce the start of our North American beta program for a major new upgrade to the game called Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited! What's in DDO Unlimited?

• More than a dozen new dungeons
• An all-new never before announced class
• A complete level cap increase to 20
• Over a hundred updated skills, quests, feats, and enhancements

DDO Unlimited introduces a new Free To Play option to the game! Players can download DDO for free and enjoy many free adventures. The new DDO Store allows players to purchase even more adventures, special items, and account services! The best part is - as existing subscribers, you're automatically enrolled in our VIP program for DDO Unlimited and will enjoy all the benefits that come with being VIPs! You'll continue to get unlimited access to all of the game's content, plus get some extra perks as our thank you just for being a VIP! We're sure you're very curious about what this means for you, so here are some handy links to all the excitement!

Still hungry for more? Let's break it down a little more with some Q&A:

What changes for me right now?

A little later this afternoon, we'll start sending out the invitations to you for our closed Beta of DDO Unlimited. All of our currently active subscribers in North America will get "priority access," meaning that you will be pushed ahead in the line to get into the beta server. When DDO Unlimited goes live, active subscribers will also be able to get in days ahead of the general public!

When does beta start?

Beta starts today! Invites will be delivered throughout the course of this week to existing players while new players may register for a chance to participate in the beta by visiting www.ddo.com.

Are we under NDA during the beta?

Yes indeed. So remember: What happens in beta stays in beta! Once you have your beta key, you'll be able to access our super-secret beta forums. This is the one safe place to discuss your beta experiences with us and your fellow beta testers!

What can I still talk about on the public forums?

You're welcome to discuss non-beta related materials on the public forums. Please remember that discussion of what you see/experience in beta needs to be kept in the beta forums only, as it is against the forum rules to post this information in the public sections of the forums.

What does priority beta access mean?

As subscribers (now called VIPs) you will be moved ahead in the queue to log into the beta, ahead of other new invitees! Players who opted into the Turbine Beta Rewards program also get special consideration.

When does Mod 9/Eberron Unlimited go live?

DDO: Eberron Unlimited will go live later this summer once beta concludes!

I'm not sure if I want to be a Free player or a VIP, can I see a comparison of the two?

You can see a side-by-side comparison of what life in DDO is like as a Free player and as a VIP by clicking here.

I want to get into the Beta, but my contact information isn't up to date? Can I still get in?

If your account information wasn't up to date when we sent out the beta invites, the invite would have been sent to whatever information was on the account at that time. Be sure to keep your account information up to date, as we use this information to keep you up to date on important game information, payment failures, and opportunities such as this beta! If you missed your chance, it is possible you may receive a beta invitation in a future wave of invites.

We're very excited to bring DDO to even more players than ever before, and we encourage players new and old to participate in the Beta and explore all that DDO Unlimited has to offer! For community discussion about this announcement, click here!
