Lamannia is a preview server which will be opened to our registered DDO users periodically to test new content, before it is released to the live servers. To make Lamannia an easier transition for our players, you will find the following available to you when you log into Lamannia:

• A copy of your Turbine Point balance from the live servers as of September 30th, 2009
• Active characters from the live servers who logged in between April 29th 2008 and December 29th 2008

Additionally if you had a DDO Unlimited beta account on Lamannia, your beta characters will be available as well.

Your participation on Lamannia is optional and purely voluntary. In order to play on Lamannia, you must have an active DDO account and abide by the terms and conditions of the applicable license agreement, Terms of Service and Code of Conduct.

Playing on Lamannia requires the installation of a separate DDO Unlimited & TDM client. You don’t need to uninstall your existing DDO Unlimited client, nor uninstall your existing Turbine Download Manager.

To download the Lamannia client, click here! Save this Lamannia client in a location different than your primary DDO client.

Note: If you have a copy of Lamannia from the DDO Unlimited beta, you don’t need to reinstall it.
