[QUOTE="Archetype, post: 3241532, member: 40688"] Just wondering. Is that a bad sign? (Considering this *is* a D&D community site...) Is no one playing Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach? Any feedback on it from those who have played it? I've never considered playing a "timesink" game on my PC before, but that South Park episode got me curious. So I was going to activate the World of Warcraft 10-day trial and check it out (yes, I know "the first taste is free" for a reason...). But then I started reading reviews and interviews and stats on DDO, and it seemed like something that would suit my D&D-oriented tastes better (as well as give me an Eberron fix until I can get my hands on the Dragonmarked book for Christmas). The fact that you should be mostly safe from "grievers" (or whatever you call high-level idiots without a shred of self-respect who prey on the cyber-young...). The inclusion of actual puzzle solving and exploring in dungeons. The lack of "grinding" to get experience (never did like the taste of wild boar...) And just the fact that [i]it is D&D![/i].. But when I went to get a free 10-day trial key from the DDO site today, every time I went to register it said, "There was an error processing your request. We are temporarily out of Trial Keys for your Region. Try again later." This seems like horrible customer service (as well as really bad business sense, as I can just jump over to the WoW site and [i]start playing NOW[/i]). Is this typical of a Turbine customer experience? I don't want to make a long-term investement with a company that will be like this all the time, and I've not heard of the WoW owners being a problem company to deal with. Any feedback from any DDO players here? Thanks, Drew [/QUOTE]
