This game is the impressive effort of a single person who has created and continues to evolve this MMORPG in his spare time. DD is not a graphics-driven game. It is mostly text with a few static, cartoonish images mixed in. As such, it does not rely on a reflexes or twitchy mouse clicks. It can be played at a leisurely pace. Gameplay can sometimes bog down, but once you get to know the regular players, you'll come back again and again.
Setting up a free account is easy. No e-mail account or credit card is required. Every account gives you two playable characters with about 1-2 hours of free gameplay per character per day. More time can be purchases for a very small and reasonable amount of money.
Some concepts like scroll creation and advanced battle rules can be a little confusing, but most veteran players are very helpful. Concepts that aren't as transparent or easily explained through gameplay chat are mostly explained well on a fairly useful Wiki.
Because of the text-based nature of the game a powerful computer is not required nor is a lightning-fast broadband connection needed.
Give this a try. You just may like it as much as I do.
