It was around the point of hitting the Marketplace that i ended up subbing to VIP, as the missions really start drying up. So you'll probably find yourself having to go through all the houses to find level appropriate missions!

DDO definitely seems to go at a different pace to other MMOs i've played. But i am having a blast with my little guild of friends. And so far i don't regret subbing, as some of the missions you unlock are pretty awesome!

Anyway, am curious to see how far you can get without having to grind missions constantly to advance. Once you get to that point, put up a poll on what areas you should unlock with your points :)
