[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7969063, member: 6895991"] I play DDO since years myself, and I consider it to be the best D&D computer game around these days. DDO is full of humorous references and nods and easter eggs. E.g. there is a rare scorpion named "Schenker" (Like Rudolf Schenker of the rock band Scorpions). You can read up more trivia on the DDO wiki. The portal into the realms via the demonweb is a masterpiece. The DDO demonweb itself is one of the best designed CRPG landscapes I ever encountered. But its introduction was imho rather to promote some ongoing official narrative content (shadar kai / shadowfell etc) Same with the recent Sharn add-on matching the timeline for the Pen and Paper Eberron/Sharn book Also they have Temple of elemental evil (the original), white plume mountain, keep on the borderlands as addons. The DDO Ravenloft expansion came out at the same time as Curse of Strahd for pen and paper and I think the stories and subdungeons match CoS pretty strong (I cannot confirm 100% since I have not read CoS) So several of their content improves marketing for their product as well as for Wotc pen and paper products, but not every ironic reference is a hint on some upcoming product.
