Read the preview on Gamespy. www.gamespy.com
This games sounds like just the kind of game I'm looking for. Oddly enough, the game is not turn-based despite the name. It just has D&D feats, abilities, weapons, stuff, and spells. But combat isn't turn-based (yes!). Combat is twitch-based (finally!). I've been waiting for a twitch-based MMO for quite awhile. Also, this game has great graphics and plenty of subterranean fights against the undead. This game may be a contender to WoW. I'm not sure which one I'm going to get.

I doubt that any game will be a contender to WoW. But it does look promising, much like every game about which we hear before it is released  And I'm not sure how twitch-based combat will make MMORPG's better, but I'm willing to try anything at this point if it'll save the genre from its boring combat engines...

Any game going head to head with WOW will have it's work cut out for it. D&D online has some promise and sounds much more interesting than MEO. Everyone seems to be sticking to the tried and true trail and given the huge investments involved I understand this. It would be refreshing to see someone break out of the box with some real innovation.
Turbine has let AC1 (there most sucessfull project ) deteriorate into a bot fest undermining the games initial magic. This results from decisions or indecisions probally a mix of both that have had profound effects on gameplay and community. I might wish that they have learned a thing or two as they release future projects into a very competitive MMORPG marketplace.
D&D in a MMORPG setting........DONE RIGHT..........could be a lot of fun.
For now I wait most impatiently for WOW to go gold. |

Its not going to be much of a contender of WoW and EQ2 except for its namesake license. I dont see anything innovative in it AT ALL. Its a lot better than MEO and AC2 (thank goodness), but Turbine disappointed me EVERY TIME so far and i have little faith in that team... |

One encouraging thing is that Turbine is working closely with Wizards of the Coast in developing D&D online. Course there is really very little info on this one as it is still a long long way out. |
