For Dungeons and Dragons Online players, today is a special -- nay, hallowed day. It is Patch Day, and with it comes much leaping, dancing, spinning in circles, and singing at the top of one's lungs.
Today Turbine has released Update 12: Vaults of the Artificers, a hefty patch that introduces a completely new system to the game: challenges. Challenges are repeatable quests that have unique objectives and time limits, and can be completed for shiny rewards. VIP players will get the challenge adventure pack for free, but free players aren't left out in the dark -- Turbine is giving everyone one free challenge every day. These can be picked up in House Cannith.
DDO's Update 12 has plenty of other changes and fixes, including the introduction of store-purchasable rename tokens if you're dissatisfied with your hero's moniker and a shared platinum bank account.
You can read up on Update 12 with the official patch notes or by checking out our hands-on impressions from last month!

Shared Platinum bank account?
Well, that's one way of curing the need to mail your alts money/equipment! Pretty nifty!

Looking forward to doing some challenges tonight :)
I believe this also means that with the challenge system it is even easier to level your character to 20 (max lvl) without buying adventure packs. So anyone that is looking for a truly free to play title give it a try.
