This is a great game. As a character you can either join partys or go alone on quests into dungeons. These dungeons always include fighting other creatures or solving puzzles

Similar to Pen and Paper Wonder!
Sometimes companies make online games with titles like "Warhammer" or "World of Warcraft" but never actually make an online game like its predecessors. Dungeons and Dragons Online actually incorporated many, if not all, aspects from its D&D 3.5 system. I had lots of fun interacting with the many different characters like the rogue and spell casters. If you are a fan of the D&D 3.5 system you will love this game. It bring all the fun elements from the tabletop version to your computer. Like the above review I would agree that this game tends to be a time sink and would require that your teen regulate time spent on the computer with other activities.
I would also like to point out that the above review also says things about lag and system crashes... this is tied to the kind of computer you are using. Apparently the one that this particular person used must have met below minimal system requirements because I run a computer that meets the requirements and I have NEVER EVER had that kind of problem.

if you've played moderatley violent games, its fine. quite complicated for under 10s.
Its a great game, although thouroghly agree that
a) it drags you into the fantasy world
b) its very hard to pull out of in the middle
another point to add is that if you allow your children to play moderatley violent games, this is no biggie. The reason i rated it 11+ is that gameplay is quite complicated, and can fustrate other players playing with an incompetant 6 year old who wont type or know any gameplay terms.

I think this is a very fun game to play in your spare time. There isn't too much violence, and most mature 10 year olds will be able to deal with it violence and the difficulty of the puzzles. Sometimes players may use swear words in the chat box, but there is a good filter. It has good messages, such as teamwork and not giving up. It is also sort of an inspiration to be creative, although you do have to be careful not to get sucked in. Overall, it is a very good game

Dungeons and Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited Review (Written by a child)
Dungeons and Dragons Online is a great way for kids and adults alike to improve their thinking skills and strengthen their reflexes.
Dungeons and Dragons Online features in-depth dungeons that offer mind-bending puzzles and devastating traps that will impress, and possible frustrate, anyone of all ages.
However, the game does come with a few drawbacks, nearly all of the game's gameplay/content involves combat with another enemy creature and promotes violence. Little to no profanity is used in the game, with the exception of made-up words used by NPCS.
Dungeons and Dragons online is not for everyone. The combat may frighten and frustrate a child under the age of ten, and the complex yet interesting dialogue may confuse someone with low reading skills.
However, if used correctly, the game can enhance a child's vocabulary, reflexes, and strategy in extraordinary ways.
When deciding whether your child is able to play this game efficiently, age is not a virtue.

good game and i want to see more out of it.
i love dnd and warhammer, but would like to see more out of this game. it was pretty good i would have said age 9 except for two things it is online so you can interact with with other people i say stay away from them unless you know them out side of the internet because there always will be that creepy guy tiring to mess with you other then that you can get drunk it has negative affects on you so it's not recamended.

What is D&D online at its core?
I would not suggest this game to anybody under the age of 10, it definitely has some monsters that would creep out some people. Due to the dated graphics and given the amount of intense imagery kids now see on T.V, this game doesn't even compare to some children television shows playing on the cartoon channels nowadays. The things that shine in this game really are the dungeon instances and the strategy behind solving them as well as the combat itself. Personally, no other game has gotten this quite right. And parents who get protective over the subject of "Drinking, smoking & drugs", it is a game, as well as a fantasy with dwarves, elves, and goblins. Please people, I don't think Gimli is going to put anything other then some good old Middle Earth tobacco in his pipe, and making potions doesn't count as making "drugs" either. There is drinking in this game, but is more for playing in character then any sort of malicious thing. I also like how the women are not negatively stereotyped as "skimpy fantasy babes" in game.
This game does not require a monthly subscription, although it did in the past. It now encourages players to buy in game content, which includes extra character slots, multiple different races to play as, and in game items. This system is optional but once you put money in it might be hard to stop, based on the statistics for maple story. (Yes, that is not the best example, but it has a relative concept) The game does give players that can't pay the chance to earn credits. Playing the game will earn you credits from challenges, achievements and various different methods of gaining the currency for buying in game purchased additions.
