Dungeons And Dragons Online: DDO News: Testing Progress

In a discussion about the DDO experience system, Xundau talks a little bit about the progress they've made in testing:

While we've been encouraging our devs to play "by the rules" during testing sessions for a while now, we actually just recently removed admin commands from most people's accounts

The fact that we can do this is actually a sign of how far the game's coming along. While early test days would focus more on "does this spell work right," or "is this monster pathing correctly," our game has now matured to the point where we can focus on questions like "is this dungeon balanced for 2nd-level characters," or "is it too hard to gain xp?"

That's good news for everyone, meaning we're getting closer to beta, and eventually release. Check out the rest of the thread and related discussion here.
