Starting DDO as a newbie can sometimes get frustrating. Especially if you have never played any other mmorpg before. DDO is nothing like the original Dungeons & Dragons Online. It has greatly advanced from the years. If you are already a huge fan of D&D or mmorpgs then this game will be easier for you to start. DDO supports only cooperative play and has no rvr or pvp of any type. Keep that in mind before starting the game.
