DDO is definitely now on my radar screen these days.

It may even turn out to provide the "MMO Gap Insurance" I have been looking for to fill in that "doldrums" space between GW1/LotRO/WoW (which are all kind of sputtering and fizzling out for me) and STO/SWTOR/GW2, which are all still a ways off in the distance (2010?).

DDO has replaced Aion on my "next game to try" list. Strangely, the more I see and read of Aion, the less it interests me. (However, if there's a free Aion trial, I might still give it a try.)

I think someone said that you could do a free trial on the Asian servers for 10 days, maybe someone could give details as I don't think it's that straightforward to do?

I'm excited about it, too. And I share your thoughts about Aion. I sure hope they offer a free trial. Money's a bit tight for me right now, so I'd love to try before I buy.

Anyone else think that looks like the dragon from Shrek?

Any DDO players able to tell me what's going on here?

(ie: class, level, whether her abilities are items or skills, dungeon level as she seems to be one-shotting everything, etc..)

Certainly looks like fun.
Many thanks.

That is one of the earliest and lowest level dungeons (multi-part quest chain, the video happens to be the last part).

The character is a 14th level caster (likely a wizard). Not much skill involved in this specific video, it's a very well known quest since everyone does it at low levels, it drops a rare unique item in that last chest which is what the player recorded the video to show.

You can see that the boss dies in 2 shots (almost 1). While that does not happen in more difficulty quests, casters are certainly very good at soloing at higher levels.
