The online world of Dungeons and Dragons Online represents a new paradigm for the MMO genre with one of a kind features including party-based quests, integrated voice chat, real-time action combat, and award-winning graphics.

And in the gaming world, who does not know who Keith Baker is? Well just to refresh your memory, he is the creative genius behind Eberron, the setting for DDO. His big break occurred when he entered a contest in 2002 held by Wizards of the Coast, maker of the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS roleplaying game and a subsidiary of Hasbro. The contest sought an innovative concept for a new world in which fans could play DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. Chosen from more than 11,000 submissions, Baker’s Eberron world, clearly a cut above the rest, won the contest and became Wizards of the Coast’s setting for the third edition of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, as well as the setting for DDO.
