Here's a bit of a treat for the guys who adventure in Turbine Inc.'s Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach. The developers have announced that the MMORPG has just updated with a new Module, titled The Thirteenth Eclipse, which will bring in tons of new features.
For example, the game's Level Cap has now been increased to 16. Those with an eye for exploration may also want to take a look at some of the new areas that have been introduced such as The Twelve, Meridia, and the Vale of Twilight. For the guys who love tinkering, there's also the highly experimental Eldritch Device, DDO's very first crafting feature.
We've posted part of The Thirteenth Eclipse's changelog here to give you a glimpse of what's now available in-game. The full list is available over in the official DDO forums via our source link.
