[Hallstatt]

The Wayward Lobster!

[Dragonlover333]

The Leaky Dinghy

[rfachini]

The "beam to the sky" statue in the harbor.

[Frogger1234]

The Waterworks:
- underground adventure
- NPCs
- kobolds
- oozes
- various other mobs
- rare encounters
- traps & secret doors
- treasure

Can't get much more iconic than that!

[CaptainSpacePony]

The docks in the harbor. Every life, when I first hit them, I feel nostalgic.

[dsmwhiteknight]

Probably the harbor area relating to the Web of Chaos adventure pack (more commonly referred to as Lords of Death, LoD, chain). Represents making my world larger by gaining access to Eveningstar as well.

[GoldyGopher]

Whitewash

[Saekee]

Iconic? I guess it would be Waterworks--I remember being really struck at the kobold animation, how they surrounded you like a pack of timid wolves, barking and attacking, retreating, etc.

[HungarianRhapsody]

Butts

[Draksel]

Sewers.

[ThomasMink]

Probably the Harbor area

[Brandwynn]

When i first get to stormreach and seeing the docks.

[LeoLionxxx]

Certainly the harbor. It has 2 of my favorite quest chains: LoD and Harbinger of Madness.

[Drelak]

If we are talking about what location is most powerful icon of something, I'd say Kundarak Bank.

As an icon of Stormreach, the beacon statue in harbor is best.

[GumpsGang]

Manny's Kobold Boutique and Grooming

[vryxnr]

question: the bonus weekend states: "... Get twice the chance for Champions to drop chests ..." ...so the "double remnants weekend" is only for Orange named champs dropping chests, and NOT for regular champs dropping remnants? Or is that a typo?

As for the chronicle question of most iconic location in Stormreach: I'm gonna have to go with the Emperor in the Harbor (that is the name of the statue with the pillar of light shooting up into the sky from it's hands).

[ForgettableNPC]

The Lordsmarch Bank in the Marketplace!

[krzyysiek098]

The Harbor. DDO without it is not DDO.

[Zavolar]

Airship Showroom :rolleyes:

[The_Human_Cypher]

Goldscuttle the Kobold

[Memnir]

What is the most iconic location for you in Stormreach?https://i.imgur.com/F3Vu8jj.jpg

[Dalris_Thane]

What is the most iconic location for you in Stormreach?

Korthos Village.

Of all the places I've played so far, it feels the most like a real place. It has a unified story that all fits together and the environment actually changes when I succeed in the quest chain.

Extra points for me doing that zone dozens of times, trying out different characters, back when I was Free to Play instead of VIP.

[M0rdecai_QC]

The Hammer and Chain: back in the days of 20 cap, where else was a total noob of a human fighter going to sell their vendor trash and purchase their first full plate & tower shield?

[brashir]

the market tent

[Captain_Wizbang]

OH? You didn't know it was there? :o

[John3000]

To my knowledge, the most Iconic location in Stormreach would be the Creation Forge near House Cannith. The birth spawn location of all Iconic Bladeforged PCs... :p

:cool:

[Edwinge]

The Tower of the Twelve

[tygara]

the most iconic place in Stormreach for me, is definatly the house K bank.
I love the design of it, and every time I see it, I am all over impressed again with it.

[BlueVictory]

Where Nyx goes, I will follow.

[C-Dog]

The red tent over the Bazaar.

[Hilltrot]

hello

[Suggestion]

The Vale. I spent a lot of time there on my first toon who at the time was ftp (I got the pack on sale using points) getting to get to level 20.

[Anicasia]

Sovereign Host Temple

[Vyrzain]

I was going to say “Ataraxia's Haven Resort Spa”

But that is not in Stormreach.

For Stormreach it would have to be…..

House Cannith…. It is a magical place

[Razor_Wit]

Ahhh! The Land of Barovia.

[Crowstep-Xanth]

for me? I will say VoN 5-6
I remember my mother and father playing this game when it started 12 years ago
and I would cheer them on when they were fighting the Red Dragon

[brian14]

The roof of Leaky Dinghy.

I began playing DDO just before a Festivult...

[Thunder-Monkey]

Getting off the boat from Korthos, the sights, the sounds, the bustle, being scared of going up the stairs.

[ComicRelief]

Well, just about everybody passes through the harbor...though I suppose the marketplace tent is a contender. I don't know...Yosemite?
;)

[1cebeast]

Fred~~~

[Fnordian]

The 4th plank of the bridge in the upper harbor area.

[yoderc]

The Harbor. I didn't even get to the marketplace for months when i started playing ddo.

[Goutan]

The lighthouse.

[nordlav]

Probably the harbour specifically the light beam statue.

[Lanadazia]

the most iconic place to be in stormreach clearly is in the hands of "The Emperor" statue in stormreach harbor!
can't wait for update 38 :)

https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/35082090/ScreenShot00031.jpg

[Nebless]

Any dungeon DM'd by the guy that does the majority of the dungeons. Any time I hear him I know it's going to be good.

[guises]

Iconic? I guess the marketplace tent. Although that little area in the harbor around the auctioneer / mailbox / banker / shops - I think I've spent more time there than anywhere else in the game.

[Handi_Smith]

The Marketplace TENT...tho most will not know what I am referring to.

[Dulcimerist]

The Harbor lighthouse. I started playing in 2010, right before the Risia Ice Games, so I made many jumps toward it and close to it.

[peng]

The giant statue in the harbor with a pillar of light coming from its hands

[btolson]

Baudry's Box Factory?

[Lalangamena]

waterworks. ( all the sewers actually)

[Dalsheel]

The Wayward Lobster!

[Gremmlynn]

The Tear of Dhakaan dungeon.

Great dungeon crawl with lots of side objectives and well planned encounters. Iconic D&D adventure.

[Jareika]

http://jareika.de/Dungeons&DragonsOnline/Piratenschiffe.jpg


A Pirate I was ment to be

[ThrakThor]

Marketplace Tent

[Ninecircles]

The beam of light

[Nagantor]

The Harbor, the first hint of how many quests there are around.

[Vasandralov]

Hall of Heroes - thats where the Iconic statues are. I win.

[grausherra]

The Wayward Lobster, easily!

[guzzlr]

Waterworks or Shan to Kor... Ran milliiiooonnnsss!!! of times.

[CPDK9]

Delera's Graveyard and the good old days of the Spectral Dragon!

[cdbd3rd]

The Harbor beacon, for sure.
The old Marketplace tent. New one is okay, too.
The Leaky Dinghy. Who doesn't love a floating tavern? :)


However....

[Claver]

For me, it's the bank in house kunderak lit up at night with a beam of energy.

Edit: now with photos

[Infestation7]

The Thirteenth eclipse raid, every time I zone in there I always get excited and have the most fun there, The Vale of Twilight and the Shroud will never get old and I hope there will be more like it in the future!

[Marupal]

Korthos

[LrdSlvrhnd]

I was going to say “Ataraxia's Haven Resort Spa”

But that is not in Stormreach.

For Stormreach it would have to be…..

House Cannith…. It is a magical place

I dunno, Ataraxia seems more like Tahiti than Cannith (this makes sense if you watch Agents of SHIELD...)

For me, the most iconic, by which I mean "instantly identifiable and tells you exactly where you are", place in Stormreach is the Beacon of Light in the Harbor.

[dakogar]

Misery's Peak~

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

House Cannith because, Iconic for an Artificer and I play as one often.

The Wayward Lobster because, face it it's the one Tavern you'll never forget.

The entrance to The Subterrane in the marketplace because hey, lots of good times and gathering there!

Recovering the Lost Tome (Quest), so memorable!

The Kobold's New Ringleader quest, memorable as well!

The area around the auctioneer in the harbor, I remember buying stuff off the auction house early on. So many memories!

Too much of DDO is iconic to me, and frankly I hope my son can grow up to be able to enjoy this game as well!

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

The Harbor beacon, for sure.
The old Marketplace tent. New one is okay, too.
The Leaky Dinghy. Who doesn't love a floating tavern? :)

https://biobreak.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/d2.jpg?w=636&h=476

I'd choose you if I were him.... R.I.P. Gary Gygax

[BigSlugger]

The Vault of Night. (The actual vault, where you can look down and see the planet)

[Thar]

The harbor lighthouse.

[Teeaaa]

Judging by the image of the DDO Chronicle


Castle Ravenloft...

[Jango-EX]

The Marketplace, when entered from the Harbor. I felt so experienced when it was time to go to the marketplace!

[billboebaggins]

The Cultist Base

[Friggli]

The warehouse area with the weird cranes

[Mask_of_Winter]

The MarketPlace it's the beating heart of DDO.

[EhMystery]

The lighthouse arriving from Korthos

[crimsonknights2]

The memorial statue near Durk

[Light_of_erebus]

Korthos Island!!

[wak0767]

Overlooking the harbor from the roof of the Leaky Dinghy.

[Yutaku]

Crafting Hall

[rhk0872]

The Waterworks.

[Wendyk]

Durk and his deranged secret.

[Barabara]

The Necropolis.

[zegramghart]

Delera's graveyard.

[rhk008]

House Cannith and the crafting hall.

[Traffik]

The Catacombs.

[LucasMacKinnon]

Most Iconic location. I would have to say it's the founders fountain.

[Erlebnis]

Korthos. where NPC shouts CHAAARRRGE

[Tist]

Random.

[Alfaciii]

Eveningstar or everything about Forgotten Realms!

[Sebastrd]

The Pit. A magitek facility that uses slimes for waste disposal? It doesn't get more Eberron than that...at least until the quest that follows a murderer on the lightning rail with a hard-boiled detective as the quest giver/narrator.

[thanksforallthefish]

The Waterworks

[salmag]

The marketplace tent

[acidtiger]

Waterworks, but because the old starter zone docks is gone.

[Jerevth]

The crack in the harbor wall after defeating the ignoble Gnomon. Every life, that view is a milestone for me; 'halfway there' reached.

[Nissebror]

waterworks and beholders

[Lokeal_The_Flame]

I just realized that a pragmatic reason for SSG to ask us this could be to determine their first location for a critical revamp location.... in that case I'd say Korthos Island, but realistically they'd already be considering such as such is critical to improve as to improve by extension people's first impression when playing the game for the first time. So I'd say everything of the Harbor..... what about the Harbor? Give us texture upgrades!

[Rondelek7]

Kundarak Bank.

[gilstar9]

Looking over House K from the top of the Bank of Kundarak.

[Entil]

The intro Movie for sure. It was my first experience in DDO.

[Letu]

The Tower of The Twelve

[Grandern_Marn]

That place where the soldier is playing with dead body parts right by the entrance to Memoirs.

[Alisonique]

The Leaky Dinghy.

It is THE Iconic location. Why? Because for years and years D&D adventures pretty much started with.....

" You are in a tavern" , " Whilst in a tavern a(insert character) sidles up to you" , The poster says "meet up at the inn for more information".

[Bluebird6757]

Waterworks - hard to imagine going through a life without killing the sewer kobolds.

[Cordovan]

House Cannith because, Iconic for an Artificer and I play as one often.

The Wayward Lobster because, face it it's the one Tavern you'll never forget.

The entrance to The Subterrane in the marketplace because hey, lots of good times and gathering there!

Recovering the Lost Tome (Quest), so memorable!

The Kobold's New Ringleader quest, memorable as well!

The area around the auctioneer in the harbor, I remember buying stuff off the auction house early on. So many memories!
