Happy 17th Anniversary Dungeons & Dragons Online! This year we have a lot of FREE for you in addition to fun events and great sales! Read up on everything going on below.

The Anniversary Event Returns!

The Anniversary Event is once again underway in House Phiarlan! This year's anniversary event dungeon features fun updates, new rewards, and more! The Anniversary Event is available through March 19th! Find the portal to the Anniversary Event next to Gnoa Bn'for near the Phiarlan Chapterhouse.

Free Cosmetic Armor!

NOTE: To celebrate our 17th Anniversary we are giving away a free cosmetic armor! Players can pick up the armor by speaking with the Djinni in House Phiarlan. The armor can be acquired once per day per game world, and you can pick up the armor up as many times as you would like to during the Anniversary Event's run! If you missed last year's free gift, turn in Party Favors to select it from the prize list.

Celebrate DDO's Anniversary with 3 New Free Archetypes!

Three new Archetypes have been added to the game, free for everyone in honor of DDO's 17th anniversary!

  • Acolyte of the Skin
  • Blightcaster
  • Dark Hunter

Each of these Archetypes is automatically available to everyone! Get more information about these Archetypes in the Update 58 Release Notes.

New Free Dungeon!

A new free quest arrives with Update 58 called "Kill Ten Rats"! This quest is level 18 in Heroic difficulty and level 34 in Legendary difficulty. The Gatekeepers need trustworthy capable heroes to help them transport the dangerous and unpredictable artifact known as the Codex of the Infinite Planes. It must reach temporary storage at Morgrave University for safe keeping, but an unexpected threat arises! Get started by speaking with Frelda Brumlyn near the boat to Morgrave University in the Cliffside Docks District of Sharn!

Update 58: Unlikely Heroes also includes much more! Read more about our newest game update on DDO.com.

We're headed to PAX East in Boston!

We are honored to host a panel discussion at PAX East 2023! The presentation “Dungeons & Dragons Online: How game devs build dungeons LIVE!” will take place from 2:00pm – 3:00pm Eastern (-5 GMT) on Thursday, March 23rd from the PAX East Albatross Theatre (Room 210). If you are attending PAX East we hope to see you there!

Ever wonder how your favorite MMO's dungeons get built, what traps they use, or mechanics they want to highlight? Join MMO's ultimate Dungeon Masters from Standing Stone Games as we delve into our creative process and build a dungeon for you live on stage! Our seasoned experts in game design, systems strategy, and production will all share a behind-the-curtain view of how Dungeons and Dragons Online develops instances that players enjoy. Not only that, but we're giving the audience the chance to vote for what they would like to see implemented in the dungeon that they can play in game at a later date! 

We are also hosting a community meetup that evening open to anyone in the area over the age of 21 who is close enough to attend! The meetup takes place the evening of March 23rd at Lucky's Lounge. Read more about our PAX East panel and meetup in the DDO Forums!
