Europe goes Free To Play

http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=263211


We are very excited to announce that Turbine will be expanding its operations and will assume full control of Dungeons & Dragons Online® in Europe. Beginning August 20th all European players can visit http://www.ddo.com to download and play the English version of DDO Unlimited with no monthly subscription required. Turbine’s new German and French service will enter beta before the end of the year.

We are working very closely with our partner Codemasters Online to facilitate a smooth transition to our new global service. We will be providing free character transfers to the new global service and players will be notified when the character transfer is available. Please note that all accounts will only be accessible through our English service until our new German and French services come online.

As a thank you to our European players for their patience during this transition and to reward their loyalty, we are offering all current and former DDO Europe subscribers 5,000 Turbine Points (nearly a €50 value) when they transfer their characters. These points can be spent in the DDO Store on additional character slots, premium content, and much more. For more information on the DDO Store and the free-to-play DDO Unlimited, please visit the DDO Unlimited FAQ.

We thank Codemasters for the outstanding job they have done publishing and operating DDO in Europe and we look forward to continuing to deliver one of the world’s best online entertainment experiences to the gamers of Europe.

The main question from the FAQs
What if I already have an account with Turbine on the global DDO service?

After you’ve opted in to transfer your character from the Codemasters account system, you may elect to have your characters transferred to your existing DDO Unlimited account
