We have some very important news for our players regarding Dungeons and Dragons Online™: Stormreach™ (DDO).

Dungeons & Dragons® has always been about having a good timewith a party of your friends. With DDO, we bring that experience tolife online for the first time, and appreciate all the time you, theplayers, spend inside Stormreach fulfilling the promise of D&D®.

Over the last few months we have seen an increase in the number ofplayers asking us to make it easier to find groups. Since grouping issuch a core part of the DDO experience we looked at a variety of waysto make the grouping process easier for players of all levels. Variousoptions were considered, but the best way to make a change thatimproves the situation for everyone is to concentrate active players ona smaller number of servers.

To this end we have developed (DDO Gold)a plan to merge the game's serverswhich will greatly improve player experience across the board whilealso improving the performance of the game by upgrading to a strongerinfrastructure on the back end.

We want to thank you for all of your patience as we implement these changes to the game.
