[QUOTE="Archetype, post: 3242344, member: 40688"] Thanks for the links and the feedback, guys. I think from all the negative stuff I've been reading about WoW that it is one drug I should avoid. The DDO atmosphere seems closer to actual D&D PnP or PC gaming that I'm used to, from what I can tell. Of course, if I could just jump on to the DDO site NOW and find out with a free 10-day trial I would be able to see for myself... :mad: STILL "no trial keys available in your area" today on the website, and Turbine customer service hasn't responded to my e-mail yet...very frustrating when a consumer WANTS to buy a product, but the company makes it hard to get to (while their competition is sitting there waiting for my $ as well...). Doesn't make sense, unless it is a lame marketing ploy to get us to just plunk down the $50 sight unseen at a retailer in order to play immediately. (And this is the first year in 14 years that I've actually had time off @ Christmas to putz around in...the time is ripe...) Well, I do have $40 left on my Best Buy giftcard...(from a successful Bluff check against a hapless Best Buy clerk in order to get a refund on the horrifically crappy [i]Neverwinter Nights 2[/i] "boxed-beta" game that I had rushed in to get sight unseen..another reason I want to try a trial of DDO first...). But Amazon has DDO software on clearance for $9.99 now, which I would probably order immediately after taking a couple of hours to examine DDO and make sure I don't get burned again. Hello, Turbine? Here's my $$$!!! (waves bills in the air...):confused: [/QUOTE]
