DDO: When DDO Unlimited goes live, the level cap will be raised to 20. It’s important to note that 20 levels in DDO Unlimited are equal to 80 levels in a traditional MMO due to the D&D ruleset. We will be introducing a new class, a new 12-player raid and over a dozen new dungeons as part of a new adventure pack. This content will all be free to our VIP players and our free players will be able to purchase the new adventures in the new DDO Platinum store. There is also a wealth of new enhancements to the game, particularly our combat system which is one of the best in the industry.
Armchair Empire: Will items that players buy in the store be bound to characters / accounts?
DDO: Yes.
Armchair Empire: Can you give us an idea of the sorts of things players will be able to buy via micro transactions?
DDO: The DDO Store offers convenience items as well as premium dungeon packs, additional character slots, hirelings (hired muscle), potions, character customization and more. The best loot is still found by questing through the game.
Armchair Empire: What sort of time line are we looking at for Eberron Unlimited to come out of beta and go live?
DDO: We will launch when the game is ready. We have tens of thousands of players already signed up for the beta and if all goes to plan we hope to launch later this summer.
