Title: D&D Online Ebberon Unlimited
Post by: Hand Amputation on <09-16-10/1231:32>
Just installed the client. Wanted to play something without having to pay a monthly fee.

Anyone else play this?

*raises hand*

Chrysoberyl Argent, Khyber Server. I think I'm either a lvl 3 or 5 ranger. Just got off the starter island. I'd have to re-install it, but I play it.

I'm also more than happy to make a new character on your server if you've already started if you're willing to wait for me to catch up. I kinda want to play a mage but since I solo'd more often than not that just isn't happening. I want them to MAKE DAMN DRUIDS ALREADY. T_T

OH! And if you don't mind paying an initial cost, Guild Wars also has no monthly sub, and you can pick up all three expansions off Steam for like... 25, 30 bucks. I also have characters on Prophecies (Warrior, Silvanus Anamak) and Nightfall (ForgotWhat/Warrior, Eabha Osuliobhan). Don't ask me levels because I have no clue.

I rolled a human fighter on Ghallanda, just kinda playin around.. I wanted to roll a caster but I wasn't really sure, so I went with the ol' standard.

Thinking about rolling another character. If anyone wants to recommend a server, and would possibly meet up with me in game I would start over.


All in all, seems like a pretty legit game though, especially for free. Didn't really play WoW enough to warrant $14 a month.

I've been playing the F2P got to level 3 with a fighter and a cleric.

Been snagging the LotRO new F2P as well. Looks to have a little more open content than DDO.

I've given that some thought as well.. I just didn't know how LOTR's "flavored" it was. Not huge into that series.

I do like the PnP aspect of DDO.

They are both around 8 or something close

I play lots of games, but I am too lazy to actually post the names.

I can get you Doom's SNs on games if you give me enough time. I play with him on both DDO and GW.

I would probably not pick DDO up again, but I am good for Guildwars.  Got lots of alts so I can't really give you a specific name.

This is all assuming my shitty ass wifi adapter can even handle MMOs anymore. T_T I hope it does.

My shitty ass wifi adapter does.

It'd be cool to start a group up sometime. I just got to level 2 with my Fighter. But again, I am down to reroll.

I'd have to go re-download DDO, which I definitely don't have the time to for a few days at least. XD

Cool, man. I'm kinda digging my fighter. Never rolled one in the PnP game.

If it wasn't for the fact that this is going to be an expensive week, I'd just buckle down and buy the unlock for drow and the higher point build. I have a bit of a drow addiction. XD They're like crack, but much cooler looking.

I've played it a bit.  Some of the stuff you have to pay for to get is pretty nice (like the extra dungeons) so I've spent some cash on them in the past to get the adventure packs to level with (and the Monk class).  I don't pay for any of the stuff, anymore, but you can accumulate points to get some items on their marketplace without paying actual cash money.  It takes a looong time, though.

Yea, I don't plan on paying for anything. Well, maybe.. I dunno. I like the fact that there's no monthly fee for the casual MMOist like myself.

Fun to pick up, and I won't feel bad if I don't log in for stretches.

Lot of good 'what to buy' guides out there based on xp earned, gear obtained, and quality of the content. I've not bought anything for DDO yet either, but some of my friends are pretty far along and I figured if I liked it I'd save a bit more than paying a monthly fee.

You don't saved much, but being able to access it at the speed and time you want to access it is a nice option.

Breaking all of the pots has killed me tho'. Also the actionRPG feel is nice, but the same animations got stale for me pretty quickly.

Well, turns out that I have my old copies of Guild Wars and GW: Factions after all. I bought them and never really played them.

Which should I go with ? DDO or GW? I have a measly level 2 in DDO. But I've heard GW is better.

Anyone care to throw in their 2 cents?

Wait for Star Wars: The Old Republic. ;D

Guild Wars has more content. But DDO plays a bit fresher. Why not piddle with both since they're free? LoL

Good point. Limited time, I guess.

Oooh!  My friends and I are just drooling over that one.  We've been trying to keep ourselves satiated through WoW, but it's getting old (again) for me.  Besides, I've been really getting into SR4A, so WoW has certainly taken a back seat for now.

I'm really interested in SWTOR, though.

Here's to hoping it's better than Galaxies.

I should reinstall this.  We even had a really small guild going called "Runners of the Shadows" :)

I have very high expectations from Bioware.  They've made the majority of my favorite RPGs.  (from Baldur's Gate through Knights of the Old Republic, to Jade Empire, and Mass Effect.  Still playing Dragon Age, but really like the character interaction so far).

If anyone can put good story into an MMO, I would think Bioware would be up to the task.  At least that is my hope.

Also, Star Wars: The Old Republic will be the first major MMO where there is voice dialogue/interaction.

I have a 7 wizard and a 2 or 3 ranger on Kyber. Don't remember their names will have to repatch.
