UPDATE 30!

Finally, we are expecting to debut Update 30 on Monday, February 29^th! This update includes a special 10^th anniversary dungeon event, gifts for players regardless of the length of time they have played the game, and the debut of the Gnome player race, among other things. The anniversary dungeon can be found in House Phiarlan.

Happy birthday DDO! I've been with you the whole 10 years! Which is why it's sad to say that nothing is being given away to every player like in past years . i may have to be out of town for the events so will probably miss out on everything. Sadly I remember in past years when we all got a little something in our stocking. Guess those days are gone.

Every character will be getting something when they log in post Update 30, for as long as the event is active (currently tentatively through at least March.)

Concratz first off all with this milestone!
The events and bonuses look very cool and im looking forward to them!
Esp. The dungeon event! Keep up the good work!

[Hafeal]

Happy Birthday DDO!

Whew, 10 years ... where did the time go?

Here's to 10 more!

[Cordovan]

We also have special DDO Store stuff, but I'll leave those discounts for the Store sales folks to announce during their regularly-scheduled time (then probably add it to the OP.)

Happy birthday DDO! It's nice to see all the festivals back at the same time

Just one thing though, [minor spoiler warning] the challenge gives a maximum of 8 party favor (ddowiki) at a time, is it possible to increase that a bit since there is only 1 challenge to gain party favor from?
I wouldn't mind the reward staying at 8 if there were multiple challenges to run.

Happy Birthday DDO!!!!!!!!!

Through the years through the ups and downs, I have loved this game!

Made good friends, had many laughs, and many hours of fun!

Thanks!

Happy BDay! My fifth year anniversary with this game is 2/25, such timing!

Cordovan: will the Crystal Cove event be adjusted so that map turns in are not needed as high as normal in order to open the cove?

Happy Birthday, DDO! Here's to another 10 years.

You forgot to mention "pushing the DDO server's to their limits with shenanigans."

I just hope those shenanigans don't involve the Lord of Bears...he bugs out too easily.

Anyway, happy birthday to DDO! This is technically my 5th year on here, but I've thoroughly enjoyed my time gaming here. Thanks to all developers, both past and present, who devote/devoted their livelihood to making that possible. Thanks to my guild friends, past and present as well, as they are the prime reason I initially joined DDO. And thanks to the players, those all throughout the game as well as those particularly on the Thelanis server, whose presence and enjoyment of the game and of each other have allowed the game to keep on running.

Thanks all! (sorry, no cool gif/pic, although I really like Memnir's dragon pic in his sig)

Happy Birthday!

Hard to believe I'll have been playing this game for 6 of those years...

[Uska]

sounds great.


I would have liked to seen a special cosmetic for long term people though

[Kulothar]

And Many more to come.

maybe something like the original pirate hats. everyone got one but also scaled a bit depending on how long you had been playing DDO.

Exactly or maybe a special armor cosmetic based on how long you have been around no game effects on the item just cosmetic
