DDO Server Transfers 2025
New 64-bit servers will go live on July 15th and you will have until August 31st to transfer characters off the 32-bit servers before they are closed.
At a later date TBD, SSG will reopen the 32-bit game worlds only for players to prepare their characters for transfer with no questing or other gameplay available for two years.
In preparation for the transfer, use the code 100SLOTS to gain a free 100 Shared Account Bank slots on all servers! edit

Encounter[edit]
- Nale Grim: I'm busy, leave me alone. Or, talk to Thum. He likes to be bothered.
- Thum Grim: Huh? Oh. Almost didn't see you little sneaks there. You better not be here to take our stuff. We worked so hard to get it... Way too hard for little sneaks like you to come up and try to steal out treasure while we take a break.
- You: No no, don't worry, I'm not here to take your stuff.
- Thum Grim: Whatever, just stay away and... did you hear something? (Encounter starts)
- You: What are you doing here?
- Thum Grim: Uncle Brawnpits said we need to come help him look for Totems or something. Said he's got big important things to do here, but we don't care about that. He said there's lots of treasure out here for us, so that's why we're here. Anyway, We found some, and it was a lot of hard work, so now me and Nale are just taking a rest. You sure you're not here to take it? I hope not. Beating up little people is harder work than it seems.
- You: No no, don't worry, I'm not here to take your stuff. (See above)
- You: I see. You just found treasure laying around?
- Thum Grim: No, I mean... Yes. Kind of. Some little Hobgoblin man said he'd tell us where treasure was if we agreed to help him stomp on his little Hobgoblin friends later. What was his name, Nale? Gardunk? Dargak? Whatever. It's not like we're actually gonna help him. He showed us treasure in an empty cave in the mountains and said we could take it.It <sic> was cold there, but no big deal.
- Thum Grim: We worked so hard for it, walking there and carrying it. Now it's ours and you can't have it.
- You: I don't know how you tell you this, but I think you've been duped.
- Thum Grim: Whatever, just stay away and... did you hear something? (Encounter starts)
- Thum Grim: Whatever, just stay away and... did you hear something? (Encounter starts)

- You: No no, don't worry, I'm not here to take your stuff.
- Nale Grim: Uh Oh... This don't look good, Thum. I think we got trouble.
- Thum Grim: Yeah Nale. I never seen a real Dragon. I think he's gonna try to take our stuff.
- Skanaal: You runts are the ones who stole my treasure! I can smell it on you!
- Skanaal: Lucky me... two meaty and stupid giants. I can't wait to take you home and freeze you for later.
- Nale Grim: (Once to ~80% HP) Why's it so cold? Shoulda worn fur like Uncle Brawnpits said...
- Thum Grim: (Once to ~80% HP) Yuck... Dragons have bad breath.
- Skanaal: (Once to 50% HP or either Thum or Nale are to ~10% HP) You Giants are so weak and pitiful - you need these little insects to protect you!
- Thum Grim: (Once to ~10% HP) If I die... don't take my treasure.
- Nale Grim: (Once to ~10% HP) No... Don't take my treasure...
- Skanaal: (Once one giant defeated) Another puny Giant falls.
- Thum Grim: (Defeated) Agh.... Nale...
- Skanaal: (Once second giant defeated) I'm so hungry, I almost can't wait to freeze it.
- Skanaal: (Defeated) Curse you and your tiny companions!
- Thum Grim: (Once completed) Ugh, I don't even want this stupid treasure anymore. You can have it. I don't want more stupid Dragons trying to eat me!
- Nale Grim: (Once completed) I told Thum this idea was stupid. We shoulda just stayed at home.
