[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 4182967, member: 9990"] Of the MMOs on the market, IMO D&D Online is naturally closest and is almost a mid-point between 3.5 and 4th (sure, call it 3.75). The DDO designers had to tweak a good portion to bring a turn-based game to real-time adventuring. Items relative to 4th: HP starting and advancing are nearly the same; Redefined the structure of magic away from the Vance 'fire-n-forget' system; Adventures are divided into a series of encounters before taking a full rest; Prestige classes are available by taking certain enhancements (pretty darn close to 4E powers); Skills are nearly equal to 3.5 but condensed in both DDO & 4E; DDO has weapon-smithing and the like for specialize magic item creation, and we've heard a few rumors as how this will be handled in 4E that sound familiar to DDO; DDO items provide enhancement to spells, both of divine and arcane origin, of spell school, spell penetration, level enhancement, etc. [/QUOTE]
