I haven't gotten a single character made with it yet. It just isn't compellingly fun to use like the old one was.As for the Compendium, I'm still using that- a little- but it's incomplete now, so if I want to have access to all the resources... I need my books as well. So it might as well be instead.In other words, the value of my DDI sub has plummeted severely to almost nil. Early in my sub, I devoured the stuff in Dungeon and Dragon, used the CB to experiment with different character options for fun and made dozens of monsters, often several for a single game session.Honestly, as much as the dwindling content, it's the lack of utility that's making me glum about DDI- the tools that were once fun to use are now frustrating headaches, and (at least for the MB) I don't expect it to be fixed for a long time. Most likely, in a few months or a year, we'll finally get the online Monster Builder released... and it will be buggy as all hell for another 6 months. So why not wait 2 years to renew instead?I mean, seriously, I want to give WotC my money for DDI, but right now I am getting very nearly nothing out of it. Certainly, if all DDI had offered when I subscribed was an incomplete Compendium, I wouldn't have bothered.</blockquote>
