<div class="IPBDescription">Overview + Screenshots</div> Turbine has teamed up with Wizards of the Coast and Atari, Inc. to bring the incredibly popular gaming universe of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) to the world of online role playing games with Dungeons & Dragons Online. This innovative online world will be the first project developed, funded and run by Turbine Entertainment Software, creators of the critically acclaimed Asheron's Call and Asheron's Call 2. Dungeons & Dragons Online will provide players with the definitive online Dungeons & Dragons experience, complete with dramatic dungeon crawling, terrifying monster combat, challenging puzzles and character advancement.
Slated for release in 2005, Dungeons & Dragons Online is centered on robust character advancement and challenging dungeon combat. Players choose and develop a character based on some of the iconic races associated with D&D, including Humans, Elves and Halflings, as well as classes such as Fighters, Clerics, Rogues and Wizards - after which they can socialize, find quests, group together and equip themselves for future battles.

Dungeons & Dragons Online will let players travel alone or in parties as they explore the seemingly endless dungeon complexes found beneath the world. Through the dungeons, players will engage in physical and magical combat with hideous foes straight from the pages of the Monster Manual™ rulebook. Battle will be challenging, fast-paced, and easy to control with a wealth of unique weapon effects and character movements, as well as specific monster behaviors designed to keep combat both tactical and action packed.

    RIGHT NOW GO PICK UP LAST MONTH'S PCG.

    They talk about this. And guess what?

    ...this is a MMOARPG. Several attacks, all done by you. Lots of packet rush. Were talking a FULL ON ACTION GAME with the D&D dynamics.

    ...and the kickass graphics of the Asheron's Call engine.

    I've been waiting for this one for a while ever since I saw the action-based combat. I've been wanting another action rpg since PSO and hopefully this'll be it... but wait! Did you say it has puzzles too?!?!?!

    The developers aren't geeky enough to want to play girls.

    Either that or they're holding back on releaseing shots of the "Elven Beauty" player models to really hook people in.

    This is an RPG... and an MMORPG at that. They should be shoving mostly-naked elven women at us...

    I mean, its Dungeons & Dragons... its <i>the</i> RPG. I can't believe they haven't pulled the stunt yet.

    And the last picture reminds me of Thief: Deadly Shadows. This is a good thing.

    Uh... I was kinda looking for female chars that haven't lost half their clothing and decency but hey as long as the models are pretty I guess.

    And Ashaman, you'd be surprised at the numbers actually... very surprised =3
    You might know that not all female chars have a female player behind them but did you really think all those male chars you mess with are all guys? Men aren't the only ones who like to switch roles from time to time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I bet for every 20 female characters you see in Everquest, 1 is female....no, make that .1.

    ...actually, that's probably wrong, since it's a social RPG, it's probably 5 to 1 instead <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    I never understood the attraction in Lara Croft. Here's this woman who crawls through dank smelly places and swims through slimy cavewaters not for a living, but for pleasure. She must get real sweaty too. Would you <i>really</i> like to stand next to her after she comes out of a tomb?

    Not to mention she has huge eyes and lips. I just can't trust someone with huge lips.
