DDO's Shroud exploit closes raid until patch

After "widespread griefing of players by other players using a game exploit," Turbine decided to finally take down the Shroud raid in Dungeon and Dragons Online to prevent further use of this exploit. This level 17 raid was introduced with Module 6 and through the bug, allowed a single cleric to deny other party members completion and the part 4 chests.

Although community reaction to the shutdown is mixed, as is expected, Turbine says the raid's issue will be fixed and the Shroud will be reopened on the next patch, which could come as early as next week.

I always had DDO, but never even used the key, Just made a trial and was browsing the forums, seems like this is the final instance and a lot of people are threatening to quit!

That's fairly normal. MMOs seem to cause tantrums at the drop of a hat.

I've yet to see a single issue cause a mass exodus.

The players who are making the bigest deal about it are those who used the expliot.

No matter which option Turbine choosed players gonna whine, moan make threats. By next week wedesday when the shroud opens they will find something else to complain about, most likly on how the hirelings are working.

It's a pretty fun. The controls are a little different thanks to the combat system... but I am having a lot of fun in it :) (just started about 4 weeks ago)
