#070*NOR/News Dungeons & Dragons Online

Hail *NOR/!

Goodbye Hardcore League and hello Festivult! The Hardcore League ended on November 16th to the collective despair and/or joy of many. The league was a unique experience for Dungeons & Dragons Online where one wrong step meant starting over from scratch and re-rolling a brand new character. Hardcore League #2 has been rumored to be happening some time in 2020; and while the standard servers hope it is not too soon due to the major population drops that occurred during the first league, those who are a glutton for punishment are looking forward to the second iteration of the Hardcore League both with baited breath and with hope that some important changes will occur to the quality of game play (i.e. lag-based issues) as well as to the fairness of the leader boards that had a DDO Store pay-to-win dynamic in play.

Festivult is live in Stormreach! Every treasure chest that is opened during the month of Vult (December) will have a chance to drop a copper, silver, or gold coin. The Jester of the Festivult will be available in a few weeks to turn coins into for great consumables which provide a variety of timed buffs. There is also a slim chance of getting mid-power named rewards or higher powered items such as stat and skill tomes and hearts of wood used for reincarnation. Cookie jars are available in the DDO store to hold all of the various consumables.
