Turbine confirms new DDO: Stormreach Content Module

Turbine has recently announced the release of their fourth content module for Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach.

The Stormreach Under Siege module will have players return to the familiar ground of Stormreach Harbor in a quest to save the city. The module features five new dungeons and new threats like the Cult of Madness, the Dwarves of Ironfoot, and a particularly smelly tribe of troglodytes. It is free for all current DDO subscribers.

For the not so familiar, DDO: Stormreach is based on the classic pen-and-paper game. The unique bit in this MMORPG is the fact that it features non-grinding, instanced quests.

Most MMO veterans have mixed feelings about instanced game maps, but personally I believe that the non-grinding is an “ambience/presentation” choice made by the developers, and despite the “lack of massive-ness” issues, it is certainly a system that fits the game’s theme.

What’s good about DDO is that Turbine appears to be industrious when it comes to releasing new content modules. The constant updates, improvements, and added gameplay features can keep even the most jaded of gamers curious at the least.
