Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach - First Impressions on GamersInfo.net (http://www.gamersinfo.net/index.php?art/id:986)
DDO is aimed at the truly casual gamer: the now 40-something gamer, with a spouse, 2.5 kids, a dog, and only an hour or three a night to spare for gaming.
...
The second important point about DDO is that there is no exploring. The game takes place in and around the town of Stormreach. There are a couple of quests that take you into the continent to do battles, but you launch from Stormreach. There is no overland travel, no searching out ruins, no chance of getting waylaid on the way to the ruined temple. One moment, you’re in town, the next… you’re there.
The third important point about DDO is…that’s all there is. Questing. The game is designed for the questor. You do some quests, you do some other quests, you repeat some quests, and you keep doing that until you feel you’ve mastered the quests. By that time, Turbine will have more quests for you to do.
