Dungeon and Dragon Online Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach is a new MMORPG from Turbine Entertainment. It is based on the original D&D board game, which is the basis for practically all roleplaying games. MMORPGs can be grouped using various criteria. One of the most popular ways of grouping is splitting them into Player versus Player (PvP) and Player versus Environment (PvE). D&D Online is from the latter. PvE MMORPGs are games in which the main focus is for players to group together and combat computer controlled enemies. PvP games on the other hand focus on players fighting other players. Now some games, such as World of Warcraft, have capabilities for both types of play. While this may, at first glance, make the game seem superior to other games with only one type of mechanic, it doesn’t work that way. While it is true that in WoW players have more choice, each of those choices do not run as deep as they would in a game with a focus on only one of those aspects, as any PvP fans who have played WoW will tell you. Turbine decided to make PvE the focus of D&D Online. While this will make certain types of players shy away from the game, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. PvE tend to attract the more civil and generally kinder members of society. This allows players who are so inclined to roleplay their characters without being made fun of. On the contrary most people in D&D Online would probably enjoy playing with roleplayers, and they might even start roleplaying themselves. This is just one of the many advantages of a PvE game over PvP. CCXGames.com offers various services to both new and experienced players. Visit www.ccxgames.com for more information.
