Massively previews Dungeons & Dragons Online's Module 7

Dungeons & Dragons Online continues to hold their own in a quickly-growing MMO world. When DDO first showed up as a licensed MMO of the grandaddy of roleplaying games, their main goal was just to meet expectations -- so many people have been a fan of the pen-and-paper game for so long that putting it into MMO form was no easy task. But since release, the DDO team has made improvement after improvement, and added so much content to the game that it's moved beyond the license to stand on its own as a very singular kind of MMO.

Massively got a chance to sit down with the team and take a look at the latest update, Module 7, due out on June 3, and currently in public testing. In addition to some extended playtime with the new Monk class, we got to see updates to the lower level Three Barrel Cove area, a shrine to recently passed-on D&D creator Gary Gygax, and the new raid area under the destroyed Marketplace tent, as well as a few new monsters and raid bosses that can be found down there.

To start your tour through Module 7, just roll a d20 and click on through. To jump to any section of the walkthrough (including directly to our exclusive video preview, if that's what you're looking for), hit the links after the break.

• Part 1: The Monk
• Part 2: Remembering Gary Gygax and revamping Three Barrel Cove
• Part 3: The Subterrane (a new instance below the destroyed Marketplace Tent)
• Part 4: Raid bosses (including a look at a new Demon boss, and the Hound of Xoriat)
• Part 5: Other updates and the future of the game (UI updates, as well as what DDO's team thinks of Age of Conan and the rest of the MMO market)

And finally, we've put together an exclusive video preview of the new content for you to check out at the end. Enjoy the walkthrough -- all of this content goes live in the game on June 3rd.
