BREAKING NEWS: PEOPLE LIKE FREEBIES

Could I interest you in “touching the magic”?  No charge.

In what Kotaku is calling “one of the most successful MMO turnarounds in the history of the genre”, Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited (DDO Unlimited) has doubled its number of paid subscribers and increased its store revenue 500% since last September.  How?  Whores with jetpacks Free stuff.  Turbine relaunched the MMORPG six months ago as a free game with an optional paid subscription.  Since then, over a million new players have signed up, some of them buying subscriptions and making purchases in the DDO store.

Yeah, the first one’s always free, but they get you on the comeback.  By the way, here’s a video of Slave Leia and Lara Croft having a snowball fight.  The first video is free:

    DDO is a decent game. I played for a while when it went F2P (free to play), but the game just wasn’t as compelling to me as Lord of the Rings Online (also by Turbine), so I just uninstalled DDO.

    Now, the catch 22 for DDO F2P is that some of the content is locked on the free accounts (most notably my fave PC gaming class, the Monk). However, you can purchase these points with real $$$ to unlock certain content. So, for about 8 bucks I was able to make my uber monk, Dalton! (That’s right…ROADHOUSE!)

    However, the other tricky thing they do is sell the points in bundles of like 250, then charge like 755 points for opening a class, lol.

    Don’t get me wrong, though, DDO F2P has a lot to offer, and even if you decide to subscribe, it’s worth the money. I just happen to like a different game better.

    PS: Now I feel like re-installing DDO to play Dalton. ROADHOUSE!
