Dungeons and Dragons Online, Good for Groups?
I see that Dungeons and Dragons Online is now free to play.
How is that game structured?.
Do you create parties and travel?.
Or is it more free world-ish?.
I ask because I am looking for games to play with a group of 8 to 10 people and was wondering if it would be worth looking into.
Also, is the game playable without buying content?. (By playable, I mean is it fun to play without buying content?).
Question from user The Sasquatch at stackexchange.
Answer:
It's a largely instanced system, similar to Guild Wars.
You instant-transport between hubs and run instanced quests out of those hubs.
(If you're not familiar with instancing, it basically means you go into a private clone of an area with only your group. No random strangers wandering by).
There are three types of areas, according to their website:
Quests: Instanced for 1 to 6 people, small area with a storyline to play through.
Adventure Areas: Instanced for 1 to 6 people, wide open area to explore, with dungeons and outposts within it.
Raids: Instanced for 1 to 12 people, more challenging quests.
So, if you just want to jump into quests/raids with a small to medium size group, this sounds like a good game.
If you like to solo or explore a big open world, maybe not so much.
