Dungeons & Dragons Online Hands-On Tour - The Favored Soul and Item Store

[Cody Bye]

The realm of free-to-play massively multiplayer online gaming has long been a place of undiscovered treasures for Western development teams. Recently, the Ten Ton Hammer team had the outstanding opportunity to go check out Dungeons and Dragons Online Unlimited in a special press tour hosted by Fernando and Kate Paiz. Although the client is still in beta, we received a special "freedom of speech" tour where I can describe to you everything that I saw in the game during my hour long play session. So sit back, grab a cold one, and learn a bit about DDOU with me and the Turbine team.

Oddly enough, I thought almost all of these items were quite inexpensive considering the convenience that they can bring to the players. When you purchase an item from the store, it instantly appears in your inventory and can be used immediately. So if you're an archer and happened to leave your arrows at home, just pop into the store, spend a few cents, and you're ready to go.

Well done, interesting article, keep them coming .

The prices and items seem to be very good! If more F2P games had the quality of D&DO and challenge, I'd be playing and buying from their shops much more often. Can't wait to give D&DO some of my money!

I suppose I should give this a whirl -- I've been sitting on the key what seems like forever. Too much going on -- it's summer time LOL.

With the time I have to spend between multiple games, DDO never quite managed to keep me interested enough to justify the subscription cost. Not because it wasn't fun, but because of my weird schedules, I never really had much time to play.

I'm beyond excited that it's going F2P. Should be a lot of fun
