Dungeons & Dragons Online will provide players with the definitive online Dungeons & Dragons experience, complete with dramatic dungeon crawling, terrifying monster combat and challenging puzzles, character advancement and guild-based power struggles.

Adventurers have long traveled to the shrouded continent of Xen'drik to explore ancient ruins and discover the treasures hidden beneath. The bustling frontier city of Stormreach, a cauldron of ambition and secret plots, has grown on the edges of this dark and dangerous continent, safe and secure as the gateway to Xen'drik. But now danger threatens. Few explorers who set out adventuring the lands near Stormreach ever return, and those that do bring back only tales of death and destruction.

Based heavily around Instances, players are kept close to the action at all times with designated roaming areas to cut out the down time. Players can hand-craft their character with flagship D&D races, traits and classes and further progression by completing Instances and utilizing DDO’s unique Reincarnation system. Players take a deep dive into classic Dungeons & Dragons campaigns in the same way as they would the tabletop game.

In celebration of Dungeons and Dragons' 50th anniversary, Standing Stone Games’ Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO), the iconic free-to-play multiplayer online (MMO) game, is launching the Year of the Dragon, featuring a monthly giveaway of FREE dragon-themed gifts! 

Starting on the last Wednesday of every month, new drops will be released and will remain available for players to redeem for free only until the next offering debuts. These select in-game items, special cosmetics, and spectacular surprises will add a 'draconic' edge to the DDO experience. There will be an in-game celebration on February 28 for the inaugural launch where players can claim the first exclusive drop, the Dragon Lord archetype, to begin the Year of the Dragon adventure!
