DDO Goes Solo

Gamespot reports on efforts by Dungeons and Dragons Online creator Turbine to add soloable content to the gameworld. They have added a new difficulty level to the existing missions ('solo'), which will allow players unwilling or unable to form a group to successfully complete tasks. From the article: "Turbine has also adjusted the experience requirements for leveling up. The change heavily favors new players, cutting the necessary experience points to get to level two by half. However, the requirements for levels four and up will only be decreased by 10,000 points."

Dungeons and Dragons Offline?

I wonder if they'll be offering an offline version of their game for those who only want to play solo?

What about us folks without a computer at home? Will they have a version for us, too?

I think its called "Dungeons and Dragons Online: Table Top Edition"

That one is even harder to solo. In my first campaign I kept antagonizing the party against my wishes, so I had my char fall into a ditch and die from ditch poisoning. The power really went to my head.

I'm willing to bet, from personal experience, that most D&D players already have at least a few proficiency slots used up in going it "solo."
