Amusingly enough, almost all of the people I know who play Guild Wars are married couples. But you're right, GW is NOT what DDO should have been. I liked the cut of DDO's jib, but it's implementation just didn't work for us. I know several of my players who tried it and thought it was 'ok', but it just wasn't quite right. I thought, in many ways, that Neverwinter Nights was a much better implementation of what DDO should have been. If DDO and NWN could have had a baby, that's what I would have liked DDO to be.

As it was, several of my players tried it for a free trial and felt they'd seen as much as they were likely to and never went back. Which is a pity...but then, we have a weekly game, so the online game couldn't really compete with that.

Have you read our current Zad/Wizardru's New Story Hour (Updated 9/8)

or our older WizarDru's Story Hour?
You Should.
I ain't linking to Piratecat's story hour...no sir, I just won't do it. He can just get the next half-million reads on his own.

Did I mention that I have a Livejournal? It's possible that I have.
