DDO requires a minimum of 6GB of free disk space, but it is recommended that you have more. You'll need additional space for the downloadable new content which is regularly released. Some of these updates can be quite large, so be sure to have ample room available!
Insert the DDO disc or download the client and follow the on-screen instructions. You will also need to visit myaccount.turbine.com where, upon entering your DDO product key, you will be prompted to create a Turbine account. If you already have a Turbine account through one of our other games you can login to that account and activate your DDO product key.
At your My Account page, you can view your subscriptions, update your account profile, and even enter the Turbine Rewards program! There is also a link to support.turbine.com, where many of your support-related questions can be answered by the Customer Support team. For any non-support related questions, be sure to visit the DDO forums, where the community will be able to aid you, or the Compendium; a DDO wiki.
Now that you are set up with your Turbine account and have entered your product key, it's time to patch your game client, which will be done the first time you open DDO. Patching is the process that your game undergoes when it applies the content updates that have been released.
Upon patch completion, you are ready to get into the game! Choose your server, race, class, and enter the world of Eberron!
With that, begin the tutorial, and embark upon your journey. See you in game!
