Turbine is preparing an event for DDO’s 2nd Anniversary, and they’re being pretty tight-lipped about it. We do know the Module 6.1 update, released yesterday, contained the “live event” code from LOTRO and the anniversary event will be its official unveiling in DDO.
Jerry from DDOCast and player VonBek did a “first impressions” writeup with screen shots of Stormreach yesterday. I ran around the city and snagged a few screen shots as well last night and today.
Stormreach is suddenly beset with dark clouds, giving the city a gloomy and somber mood. Stormreach has frequent rain showers normally, but none since this strange new storm appeared, though there is the occasional lightning burst.
A mysterious glowing rune or glyph has suddenly appeared on the street in Soulgate, near the entrance to the Catacombs of the Church of the Silver Flame.
VonBek reported mysterious flashing lights, and took some nice up-close screenshots of some. I’ve only found one so far, and it always flashes as I’m rounding the corner down the street, never up close. I thought perhaps it was timed, but after testing that does not seem to be the case. Pretty much every time I’m near the rune/glyph at Soulgate then run near the intersection where the Market and House Deneith meet, this light flashes very quickly.
Turbine is, of course, hamming things up with role-playing style news updates on DDO.com. I’m sure more will follow, culminating with the anniversary event itself on Sunday and lasting until March 9th.
I’m wondering… is that rune/glyph a clue? Since it’s next to the Catacombs, will there be an undead invasion of Stormreach? All we know is from MMORPG.com’s interview with Kate Paiz at GDC, Kate said “the city of Stormreach will never be the same again, and you can quote me on that.”
