Turbine, developers of Dungeons and Dragons Online, are seeking applications for a Player Council. Elected players will act as a community liaison with the development team, offering suggestions and providing feedback.
The move follows the creation of a similiar Player Council for Lord of the Rings Online, an initiative that was apparently successful enough for Turbine to transfer the concept to DDO.
Here’s how the studio described the role in a recent forum post.
What is the DDO Players Council?
The DDO Player Council is a group of players selected to provide targeted feedback and valuable suggestions to the DDO Team. This will involve participating in surveys, focused discussions, as well as highly structured and targeted developer chats. Often the topics covered will be elements of game design at their earliest stages, well before they are committed to development or appear in our preview programs like Lamannia.
Don’t want to join yourself? Recommend a fellow player you feel will be a positive addition to the council. We may also select players based on their in-game and community behavior, and extend an invitation even if they have not otherwise applied or been nominated. Membership in the council is intended to be yearly, and new members will be added annually.
You have until January 20th to apply, with the council set to be announced on January 27th.
