While DDO has since gotten a Forgotten Realms themed expansion, a lot of fans were still craving a big MMO, built from the ground up in the Forgotten Realms setting. For many, DDO, while still popular and beloved by many (myself included), was not the D&D MMO we dreamed about because it eschewed the more popular Forgotten Realms setting for the newer D&D setting Eberron. Eventually we even got a successful D&D MMO in the form of Dungeons & Dragons Online. Over the years, we’ve been blessed with D&D video game titles like Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights and more. A lot of the core foundations modern RPG’s and MMO’s are built upon came from the wonderful mechanics and structure of a pen & paper game. D&D is an integral part of the fantasy pantheon, holding a spot of honor with other properties like Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Most western RPG’s and MMO’s can trace their bloodlines back to a single game created way back in 1974 Dungeons & Dragons.
