We told you recently about the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/16/switch-to-free-to-play-working-very-well-for-ddo/">massive population growth</a> that <a href="http://www.ddo.com"><em>Dungeons and Dragons Online</em></a> has experienced since going free-to-play last summer, and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/turbine">Turbine</a> is keeping pace with that growth nicely. Players enjoy a solid, extensive game at the free level, as well as a seemingly endless supply of additional content at either a microtransaction or subscription level -- including the first <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/28/massivelys-ddo-developer-tour-for-update-1/">major content update</a> since the free-to-play model launched in June.<br />
<br />
Today they're adding something less on the gameplay side and more on the foundation side: a <a href="http://www.ddo.com/news/729-new-server-opening-wednesday">new server</a> to keep up with the increased player base. <a href="http://www.turbine.com">Turbine</a> announced the addition of new server world Orien (after the Dragonmarked noble house in Eberron) yesterday. It's only open to new characters -- character transfers are unfortunately not available at the time -- but it will certainly help to spread the server load out a bit as more players head in to see what all the fuss is about.<br />
