D&D Online Stress Beta Begins

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the virtual-d20s-never-get-lost-under-the-table dept.

kafka47 writes "Turbine's much-anticipated MMO, "Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach", is now opening up its stress test to Fileplanet subscribers. The registration is free, and it is a great opportunity for MMO and D&D fans to sign up and try out the game! Paid subscribers get a higher-rez client, but if you're curious about what DDO has to offer (and by all accounts, it's a lot) this is your chance to see it early."

    Actually I'm a member of FilePlanet - didn't cost me a penny. I've never visited the forums, never received emails from them and only use the site to get game patches from. As a non paying FilePlanet user, I'm still eligible to play the DDO beta for free.
     
    I think you're being a little hasty in saying that it's to push more people to their forums, more likely that a ready-made, limited userbase was there to be tapped for something like this, especially for testing purposes.
