Another preview of Dungeons and Dragons Online has been posted at IGN PC. Here's an excerpt:
Combat isn't the only area that will stress more player interaction, as most aspects of D&D Online are going to be a much more action-oriented than other MMORPGs. In the same vein as third-person action-adventure games such as the Tomb Raider series, expect to jump, climb ladders and traverse ledges hand-over-hand. Rogues will also be able to finally take advantage of one of their most under-utilized skills in computer RPGs -- climbing walls -- allowing them to move vertically as well as horizontally in the game world. Turbine promises plenty of doors and chests to unlock as well as traps to disarm, making Rogues potentially more significant and versatile than in any other MMO to date.
