Dungeons and Dragons Online’s popular permadeath temporary server is coming back at noon today with a third trip through this brutal gauntlet. This time around, however, it’s not just subscribers that can participate; Standing Stone Games announced that free players are welcome to partake of the hardcore madness as well.
There’s also a new twist for this third iteration: “For the third season of the Hardcore League, we are making a change that will allow characters to earn a second and third resurrection if they die. A character earns one extra life at level 8, and a second extra life at 16.”
If that’s not exciting enough, on the Lamannia test server, DDO is putting Update 47 through its paces. The update includes the Lord of Blades, A Vision of Destruction, and Master Artificer legendary raids, a new dungeon called The Promise of Flame, and some new named loot found in all of the above.
