Dungeons And Dragons Online Slated For 2005

Posted by simoniker on from the gygax-vs-tolkein dept.

As part of the continuing announcement-based madness that is E3, Atari have announced that they're partnering with Turbine Entertainment to make Dungeons And Dragons Online. This is especially interesting since developers Turbine, the makers of Asheron's Call 1 and 2 for Microsoft, have also just announced they're creating Middle Earth Online (previous Slashdot story). Which one are you going to be playing?

  1. Neverwinter Nights? by loftwyr · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Don't we already have D&D Online? Neverwinter Nights is 3rd Ed rules for DND in an on-line setting.

    If not, what have I been playing for all these months?

    Maybe it will be first edition D&D and we'll all have to dig out our old rule books to figure out all the old restrictions...

  2. Linux Client by Bruha · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Considering how Turbine has been a MS partner the past few years I can only wonder if a Linux Client will be available. Considerng their G3 engine is DirectX I highly doubt it. But would be nice to see it ported.

    Of course one can hope WineX will be able to use DX9 by then also.
