How long has it been since someone posted here or reviewed the game? There has been new content added and no one noted! Wow! Well, here is a brief summary of the goings on in Stormreach. Hope to see you there!

Prisoners of Prophecy

The epic story of the Stormreaver reborn takes an unexpected turn in this module, as the giant and the dragons of Argonnessen find themselves forced into a fragile alliance against the machinations of the ancient undead dragon, the Truthful One.

Sorjek, once the Stormreaver's loyal lieutenant, has been brought back from beyond the grave as a terrifying lich giant, hell-bent upon revenge against the heroes that laid him low in life, and tasked in death to steal the souls of dragons and add to the Truthful One's growing army of dracoliches.

To bring him down (again), players must travel by airship, uncover a hidden atoll, cross great mountains of ice, defeat a scorpion king, and forge into the heart of an infested volcano.

Four challenging new dungeons, four breathtaking wilderness landscapes, and a new two-part public quest hub - all part of the new module 8 high-end content release!

Revamped New Player Experience

A ship torn to shreds by a mad dragon. A tropical island frozen in mid-summer. A cult of brainwashed villagers laying siege to their former homes, led by evil Devourer sahuagin intent upon spilling innocent blood in the name of their dark God... Welcome to Korthos, where the journey to Stormreach begins!

Players now begin the game in a new tutorial experience on the beach of Korthos Isle. For new players, and old players rolling new characters, the redesigned New Player Experience offers a wealth of adventure, story, and challenge on a level and scale comparable with the cutting edge of current and upcoming MMOs!

Dynamic environmental evolution

Engrossing new dungeons, such as the Grotto and Misery's Peak.

A brand new character generation system has also been implemented in the game! Players can now select from a collection of pre-designed character paths or fully customize their character's abilities. You will be able to view your path's progression right in the Compendium!

DX10 Support

Beta DirectX 10 support has been added to the game! To celebrate, we're having a DX10 screenshot contest that began on Risia, and continues on into the release of Module 8! For more information, click here!

Hireling News

Hirelings are being introduced to Dungeons & Dragons Online! This massive new system will be introduced to players through a series of live in-game events after the launch of Module 8. Be on the look out for updates on the upcoming Hireling events!

Want to catch a first glimpse of the upcoming Hirelings? Hirelings that will be made available in-game will be viewed in the Compendium! Learn about their names, races, classes, abilities, and available special commands in their Compendium profiles!

Stormreach Remodeling

Stormreach Harbor is under renovation! Many things have been moved around. Read more about Harbor Renovations by clicking here.
The Coin Lords have invested in building more defenses and watch posts around the entrance to the Subterrane.

A lot has changed. They are doing a good job of making the game better with each Mod release. Really looking forward to Mod 9 with a major level cap boost.

Give them a chance to change their ways!

They'd probably like to throw a punch at me!

It does, albeit you might want to check the Tech forum if your graphic card will have issues (or not) here: http://forums.ddo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55 (Corrected)

Actually, the DDO tech forum is here: http://forums.ddo.com/forumdisplay.php?f=55

Still a good idea to see if DX10 will work with your card. AFAIK, DX10 works, but my rig doesn't run Vista, so I can't independently confirm that :)
