Developer Turbine announced a launch date for their Eberron Unlimited expansion to Dungeons & Dragons Online -- designed to raise the level cap to 20, add new content like the Favored Soul player class, and, most importantly, render the MMORPG free-to-play. The general populace will be able to get their hands on the revamped D&D Online beginning August 6, while DDO VIPs -- the game's designation for continued paying subscribers -- will have a slight head start on August 4.
The hope with this relaunch is that dropping the subscription fee will help draw new players to the MMO, as well as enticing those players into spending real-world money on in-game convenience items and additional content in the new DDO Store. We'll see how that pans out for Turbine in August and the post-launch months that follow.
