What is D&D online at its core?

I would not suggest this game to anybody under the age of 10, it definitely has some monsters that would creep out some people. Due to the dated graphics and given the amount of intense imagery kids now see on T.V, this game doesn't even compare to some children television shows playing on the cartoon channels nowadays. The things that shine in this game really are the dungeon instances and the strategy behind solving them as well as the combat itself. Personally, no other game has gotten this quite right. And parents who get protective over the subject of 'Drinking, smoking & drugs', it is a game, as well as a fantasy with dwarves, elves, and goblins. Please people, I don't think Gimli is going to put anything other then some good old Middle Earth tobacco in his pipe, and making potions doesn't count as making 'drugs' either. There is drinking in this game, but is more for playing in character then any sort of malicious thing. I also like how the women are not negatively stereotyped as 'skimpy fantasy babes' in game.
This game does not require a monthly subscription, although it did in the past. It now encourages players to buy in game content, which includes extra character slots, multiple different races to play as, and in game items. This system is optional but once you put money in it might be hard to stop, based on the statistics for maple story. (Yes, that is not the best example, but it has a relative concept) The game does give players that can't pay the chance to earn credits. Playing the game will earn you credits from challenges, achievements and various different methods of gaining the currency for buying in game purchased additions.

Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited Review (Written by a child)

Dungeons and Dragons Online is a great way for kids and adults alike to improve their thinking skills and strengthen their reflexes.
Dungeons and Dragons Online features in-depth dungeons that offer mind-bending puzzles and devastating traps that will impress, and possible frustrate, anyone of all ages.
However, the game does come with a few drawbacks, nearly all of the game's gameplay/content involves combat with another enemy creature and promotes violence. Little to no profanity is used in the game, with the exception of made-up words used by NPCS.
Dungeons and Dragons online is not for everyone. The combat may frighten and frustrate a child under the age of ten, and the complex yet interesting dialogue may confuse someone with low reading skills.
However, if used correctly, the game can enhance a child's vocabulary, reflexes, and strategy in extraordinary ways.
When deciding whether your child is able to play this game efficiently, age is not a virtue.

if you've played moderatley violent games, its fine. quite complicated for under 10s.

Its a great game, although thouroghly agree that
a) it drags you into the fantasy world
b) its very hard to pull out of in the middle
another point to add is that if you allow your children to play moderatley violent games, this is no biggie. The reason i rated it 11+ is that gameplay is quite complicated, and can fustrate other players playing with an incompetant 6 year old who wont type or know any gameplay terms.

Similar to Pen and Paper Wonder!

Sometimes companies make online games with titles like 'Warhammer' or 'World of Warcraft' but never actually make an online game like its predecessors. Dungeons and Dragons Online actually incorporated many, if not all, aspects from its D&D 3.5 system. I had lots of fun interacting with the many different characters like the rogue and spell casters. If you are a fan of the D&D 3.5 system you will love this game. It bring all the fun elements from the tabletop version to your computer. Like the above review I would agree that this game tends to be a time sink and would require that your teen regulate time spent on the computer with other activities.
I would also like to point out that the above review also says things about lag and system crashes.. this is tied to the kind of computer you are using. Apparently the one that this particular person used must have met below minimal system requirements because I run a computer that meets the requirements and I have NEVER EVER had that kind of problem.

You'll see a lot of words used to describe massively multiplayer online role-playing games, including 'addictive,' 'immersive' and 'expensive.' But rarely are they as unapologetically social as Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach, publisher Atari's long-awaited take on the first RPG ever.

Provide some items for the Play Field. As a result of these problems, the team has decided to keep the remaining game on March 31. First, the payment of all players of the game between January 1 to 31, March will be returned to their gambling account. Scarlet blade download. This withdrawal will occur after April 4.Of course, when you make your character, you have to change their look and there are many ways to customize.

Because if you don't play nice with the other kids in D&DO, you're dead.If you're the type that likes to play MMOs solo, you'll utterly loathe this one. After a mere handful of solitary training missions, you'll be given quests that absolutely require three to six people, and the more varied the party, the better. A gang of four barbarians ain't gonna cut it; on some missions, you'll need a shifty rogue to pick locks; on others, it'lltake all of the magic theclerics and bards candish outto keep everybody alive. Imagine - a role-playing game where you actually need to play a role! Meeting and playing with a variety of people is the only way to play D&D Online, and it's clearly by design. After all, why pay a monthly fee to play a massively single-player game?

At the same time, this forced social interaction, along with the strict mission structure and the more stringent rules about reviving characters, will send some players scurrying back to their power-leveling in World of WarCraft.And unlike WoW, D&D Online doesn't let you fly up the experience ladder. There's a level cap at 10 - that's right, 10 - and working your way up from level 1 to level 2 alone will take several hours of gameplay. As a result, every level feels like a true achievement. Or a pain in the ass, depending on what you're used to.
