[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2732402, member: 22622"] I'll be playing it. I hate MMORPGs. They are so formulatic right now and I have written and suggested a number of things that can make them better over the last couple of years. DDO seems to have many of these ideas. Smaller servers, More intimate adventures, A different form of combat. More unique items and randomness. I"ve played them all and they are all the same. World of WArcraft, EQ2, FFXI, Even Guild WArs, which wained on me very fast (no real community, everything's a big solo game). The onlytime I had fun playing any of these was when I beta'd FFXI. I didn't realize until it was released that what I enjoyed was the smallness of the world (only a few hundred testers on the beta server). I knew everynoe on the server and there was few if anyone ever sitting on drops. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the spirit of the game which was adventuring. I signed on everyday to see my friends and compete with my rivals. DDO just looks great on paper and I"m hoping that its the game that will change my mind. I believe that MMORPGs have the ability to be great social games and I think DDO will achieve this more than anything. [/QUOTE]
