Awesome.
I have taken the cryptic message written by Tarrant ("DDO rocks. It will continue to rock. Thank you all for helping us to make it rock. Kick some axe." & "Here are some reasons why DDO will rock going forward") and entered it into my Little Orphan Annie decoder ring.
It seems that the upcoming updates will include a new race (just as we have all be crying for): The Earth Elemental! Bards will get a new prestige class: The Rocker (one of the perks is all the music from bard songs is now Tenacious D songs). And lastly, there will be a new class: The Rock Collector. This fancy (and advanced!) class will require players to farm rocks from all the wilderness areas to get XP. Never fear! He will also be the new master of ranged combat. Halfling Throwers rejoice your time in the sun has arrived!
