DDO is dead!

[AspieKenM]

I tryed DDO. IMO it was not DnD, they totally changed the way XP works. That was a fundemental part of the DnD system and when they changed that, its no longer DnD.

I don't even know what this means.

Heheh... me either. I think the translation is:

"I want to level faster! XP takes too much wurk!"

Looking at the user name...I believe its a tasteless joke.

It wasn't. However, I've heard it's been dealt with and won't happen again.

What's been dealt with? I still don't know what this is referring to. The XP system in DDO has been largely unchanged and it's actually a pretty cool system.

Agreed. Perhaps we're just play testing D&D 4.0 years before its release...

...or perhaps not.

I've been thinking about starting DDO. I just got WoW at the advice of some friends. It's fun, with a great character progression, amazingly expansive and varied world, and cool instances. The combat is fun and flashy with neat abilities, even for warriors. There's a large player base, enough to maintain an actual economy on the auction halls. It's also getting kind of boring. Quests are mostly solo. The vast majority of players have capped out at level 70, so trying to get a group at lower levels is difficult and frustrating. It feels like the only thing to do is try to level your character so that you can walk around without fear of being ganked at a moment's notice. People talking about "farming" the instances really turns me off.

Actually, I've not had that experience on either of my servers - both of them have a large number of lower-level folks to team up with. One of them - and I'm blanking on the name - is a very new server, and so there's very few high-level folks around.

OnTopic: DDO sounded interesting when it came out, but then I wasn't playing DDO. Right now, it would be a possibility, but my wife and I are already playing WoW, and playing DDO would involve us having to buy (and pay for) two additional games. If it's still around in a year or two, or if I get tired of WoW, I may try it.

AMG was thinking that AspieKenM was an alt made as a sick joke, but it wasn't. I really was KenM, but now he's been permabanned, hence it's been dealt with.

As to what Ken was talking about, I wouldn't dwell on it too much. Chances are he didn't have much of a point to make.

Yeah, good call. Shame on me for even trying to find some logic in there.
