Dungeons & Dragons Online Head Start Event

Turbine has announced details about a new "head start" program for those dedicated fans that preorder a copy of Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach. The full announcement:
The Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach preorder has taken off to great success and we are well on our way to an exciting and successful game launch! Each day, new arrivals land in Stormreach to embark on the thrilling and unpredictable adventures they have come to expect from Dungeons & Dragons. We've already hit our sales target for preorders and now we want to blow that number away!

To say thank you to all of the players who have preordered the game and to encourage even more preorders, join the DDO Team in celebrating throughout the Head Start Event. With special bonuses and commemorations to our community in addition to the benefits already included in the preorder program this is an event you won't want to miss!

When you and your guild play in the Head Start Event you could be immortalized as founders and inspire future adventurers.

- All characters that log into the game during the Head Start Event will be commemorated by having their name engraved in an in-game marker and be listed in a special founders section of the official web site at http://www.ddo.com!

- Guilds that are created during the Head Start Event and have ten or more members at the end of the Head Start Event, will gain a special in-game item for their characters a founder's helmet that will grant its wearer an additional five hit points* (and it looks really cool too!)
