I keep promising myself I won't miss up another one of these Hireling events and it looks like I caught this one just in time.

You can track down a vendor in the city and get a hireling to tag along with you from now through...well, they haven't yet announced an end date, but it's probably next week.

So get your vendor contract filled out, have a run around with them, and let us know how it goes!

It's a little late to enter the screenshot contest, but for the past few weeks Turbine's been trying to see who could come up with the best Direct X 10 Screenshots running D & D Online.

First Place
Second Place
Third Place
Fourth Place
Fifth Place

This week we are celebrating the Vault Network�s Icon and Graphics Board�s 6th birthday!

To celebrate this great event we have an awesome contest with a first place prize of 1 MONTH VIP and a permanent title!!

�What is made here is not there.�

The contest info and rules can be found here.

Icon and Graphics board, a community

While perusing our board, if you like what you see, feel free to stick around! The Icon and Graphics board is a fantastic community of artists and people sharing ideas, telling bad jokes and requesting artwork - not just for the Vault but their own guild�s or personal sites too!!


Have a request, general questions or just want some help figuring things out? Feel free to ask, we have a number of talented and knowledgeable people that will be willing to give you a hand.


We're looking for more artists!

If you happen to have a knack or talent for art of these sorts, and need some where to shine and show off, the Icon and Graphics board could be your match made in heaven.
We are currently looking for a few good artists to fill our staff and aid in our quest of beautifying the internet and making icons.

If you are interested in applying and helping out, you can find more information here


Please include a sample of your work. It needn�t be anything elaborate, it�s all about the basic know how with a touch of creativity for good measure.
You can contact me one of two ways, either via PM on the boards or send me an email.

So get moving, and get involved!

The long anticipated Module 8 for Dungeons and Dragons Online is finally launching.

With graphic improvements, henchmen (hirelings), new areas and much more, this is sure to breath new life into the game.

Let us know all about your thoughts with the new expansion on the forums.

Read ahead for more details.

Tentonhammer recently took a tour into Dungeons & Dragons Online Module 8: Prisoners of Prophecy:

There are new quests, spells, character development, monsters, exploration areas and equipment. Even more exciting, they have hirelings! Hirelings are not what you might think they are. They are not simply charmies or summoned monsters with a longer duration, these hirelings are powerful, effective, and much more than a simple target dummy that lasts a few seconds.

For more insight into their experience, check out the full article.

Hey everyone! The official release notes for Module 8 have been posted on the Dungeons and Dragons Online official site.

New spells, new enhancements, new character creation and lots of other new things are on their way!

Thanks to Grimdiegn_the_gimp, who already dropped the news into our forums.
