10th Anniversary and Update 30
DDO is celebrating 10 years! This weekend and tentatively thru the month of March there will be a series of events. Specifically Risia, Festivult, Crystal Cove and Midwinter Festival.
On Monday February 29th the servers will go down for Update 30. The most notable thing coming from the update is GNOMES! When the release notes are…. released, I will link to them here.
A long time ago I noticed the hireling vendor in Gianthold was named Raissa Gnomeslayer. I thought she might have did a great job slaying all the Gnomes in Eberron that there were no more. She is about to get a whole lot more gnomes to kill. It would be funny if she had higher prices for gnomes or won’t talk to them. I’m sure this won’t happen though. Her name could also mean that she is a Gnome and that she slays things. The only reason we can’t tell that she is a gnome is her mask hides her face. In that case DDO has had gnomes the whole time!
