You realize the game came out almost 4 years ago right? The graphics SHOULD be dated. I think the game looks just fine, minus some of the character model.

It seems like they're releasing a new module once a week. Turbine is doing a great job with this one.

Actually no, these videos are just highlighting the paid content you can buy and it's all been available since the launch :)

There is a new high level adventure pack coming, they hint for December. After that we aren't sure what the release of content will be like, hopefully a new pack every couple months at least. On the upside druids and half-orcs are coming ;D

For F2P peeps, Gianthold is one of the "MUST HAVE" packs, it's more expensive than the others but it is very large with many quests. As well this is the place to get the various dragon armors, all extremely cool and will last your characters till 20. If your cheap like me, at least pick it up when it goes on sale :p it's for sure worth the cash

"I never did get into pen and paper anything, the thought of randomness (dice)determining my skill at something just never sat well with me."

You do realize that every system in an MMO is based on random rolls that might or might not be effected by a few outside influences? Even in a game like Spellborn, your hits might seem to be determined by your "aiming" but there are modifiers going on behind the scenes. You can miss a "skilled" shot for any number of reasons.

Hell, LIFE is a random dice roll, but whatev. lol

To forstall argument lets just say their should be more math involved and less to do with "randomly" generated dice rolls. (grin)

However, this game is based on those archaic rules so live and let live, they just wont get my cash.

As for your random life comment, retire at 41 like i did and see how not random life really is. Dont hate :) But ya know.........whatever.

Are you sure you like MMOs?

Consider for a moment that this might not be the genre for you.

So...basically you're against a gameplay mechanic that's been in almost every MMO and RPG pretty ever made?

So, more "that guy is level 3, so he beats a level 2. Every time."

There has got to be a certain degree of the random going on because, despite your retire comment, life is....wait for it...wait for it....

....random.

Everything that we can do has a different chance to succeed, some things are just much more likely than others. In a video game, they need something to represent the real, which is the dice roll. There's plenty of math involved, already. Your level 3 might have a 99.999999 percent chance to kick the Hell out of that level 2, but in real life there is always the CHANCE that something odd could happen to allow it to happen differently. Say, a bird flying into your face.

Over and over.

Small chance of it happening, but life is like that.

Now you can tell me how commenting on Massively means you have diverse portfolio, if you need to.

I'm really enjoying DDO. Not sure why that guy up in the comments didnt just go F2P? I've been playing F2P for a week now and have not had to buy one thing from the store and having a blast. I might get an adventure pack though just to see whats up.
