Today Turbine released the first free update for Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited which will add some great updates to the game! Some of the new updates include Veteran Status and the new Epic Difficulty setting. Turbine has also expanded the DDO Store with over 100 new items. ”The launch of DDO Unlimited has surpassed all of our expectations,” said Fernando Paiz, Executive Producer of DDO Unlimited. “This update is the first step in our long-term plan to expand the world and gameplay features for years to come.”

A list of the full update from the press release is below:

New Adventure Pack: Path of Inspiration — When the Inspired from the distant city of Dar Qat offered to renovate Stormreach’s old Harbor they said they were interested only in trade and friendship. But are the Inspired a dream come true or a sinister nightmare? Explore five new high-level dungeons that will take you beneath the Harbor, to a savage island, and into your own mind as you track down the Inspired’s terrible secret. Path of Inspiration will be free to all DDO VIPs and available for purchase in the DDO Store. This pack includes 6 adventures, two large wildernesses (The Vale and the Subterrane) with 95 quests, plus three distinct Raids.

Introducing Veteran Status – Players will be able to achieve Veteran Status by earning 1000 favor in game and unlocking the ability to create characters which enter the game at level four. All new characters they create will immediately be able to level themselves up to level four, and start right in the Marketplace instead of Korthos Island.

New Epic Difficulty Setting! – DDO Unlimited introduces the new Epic difficulty level! Selected dungeons and raids now have an additional difficulty level, which can only be accessed by 20th level characters that have completed the adventures on the Elite difficulty level. Epic quests will let players upgrade and customize their named items to create the most powerful treasure in the game!

DDO Store Catalog Expands – Players can now choose from over 100 new items being added to the new DDO Store including 32-point build characters, a size upgrade to the shared account bank, new hair styles, Reincarnation items and more!

For a MMO that one can essentially play for free this is pretty impressive! Below is also a video highlighting the new Adventure Pack.
