Turbine is pleased to announce that the confidentiality obligations in the
Preview and Non-disclosure Agreement for the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™
: Stormreach™ Beta have been lifted earlier than anticipated. This means
players in the Beta Program and those who took part in the Stress Test
Events are free to talk about the game on public forums. After getting
so much positive feedback from our Beta players, we felt it was time to
let you share your opinions and praise for DDO with the rest of the MMOG
community.

Preorders are now available online as well as in many retail stores.


DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™: Stormreach™ is currently scheduled to ship on February 28.

Sincerely,
The Turbine Beta Program Team

LOL -- If it sucks, you're bound by confidentiality. If it's great, we'll let you talk. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Yay, now tell us about the death penalty. Is it xp debt? Item dmg? Both?

Taking Damage, Death and Dying

If your hit point total drops to 0 or below,
you will fall down and become incapacitated.
If you are below 0 hit points, you will
continue to lose 1 hit point every few
seconds until you either automatically
stabilize (10% chance every few seconds).
While you are in this state, you can wait
for another party member to heal you, or
you can choose to abandon your quest and
respawn in Stormreach, at the Tavern you
have chosen earler to be your respawn point
by speaking to the resident Cleric but each
time with a significant experence penalty
never enough to loose a level but, everything
gained on that mission you deserted.
(When you arive at the tavern you will have
+1 hit points and will need to eat or rest
until you recover all your hit points.)
If you stay in quest Once you reach –10
hit points, you die and become a ghost,
dropping a unique item called a soulstone.
At this point, you can still wait for another
party member to come along and raise you
(although keep in mind that raise dead
spells are much harder to come by than
simple healing spells), and you can still
choose to abandon your quest and respawn
in Stormreach. You can also have a party
member pick up your soulstone and carry it
to a resurrection shrine – you can usually
(but not always) find resurrection shrines
near rest shrines. Once your soulstone is
near a resurrection shrine, simply
double-click it to revive yourself with
no Experence penalty just time lost.

Do you know I may just order it cuz I've been yearning for something new to play. WoW is great and all but I long for that feeling of wonder when you first start playing a good game. The implementation of the rules make me feel nostalgic for D&D again...
