Dungeons & Dragons Online reaches over one million players

Turbine, Inc. announced today that its free-to-play MMORPG Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited has attracted over one million players since its launch in September 2009.

The massive influx of new players has been across all of the various consumer plans available. DDO allows players to download and play for free, purchase adventure packs, items, and account services a la carte from the DDO Store, or to subscribe to get unlimited access to all of the game’s content.

"The response from players to DDO Unlimited has been nothing short of phenomenal," said Jim Crowley, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc. "We’ve known all along how great this game is and by implementing an innovative new model that put the players in charge of how they pay and play DDO Unlimited, we’ve successfully expanded our reach and injected new energy into the game."

Revenues have gone up 500 percent since the game adopted its free-to-play model and, according to the developers, microtransactions through the DDO store are three times the industry average.

"The launch of DDO Unlimited has been a huge success and has really taken the game to a new level," said Fernando Paiz, Executive Producer of DDO Unlimited. "As we celebrate our 4th birthday, the game has never been better and we’re just getting started with more adventure packs, more store items, and other innovative features coming in the major updates we have planned throughout 2010."
