If you want free fake TP's there's an NPC who lives on the cliffs right under the Airship dock next to the bridge in the Harbor who'll give you 100 TP's a day on Lamannia.

And there's a whole subforum on the Lamannia forums devoted solely to the Armor Kit's feedback. There's a ton of screenies of the new armor kits to be oggled there. Even if you're strictly f2p and can't post, you can still access them and take a look.

First DDO disappointment: It wasn't set on Krynn. Seriously, what was the last platform that had a Dragonlance game? The SNES?

Then I got my hands on the settings books and thought "Well, its not bad..... Ooo whats a Kalashter? OMG Shifters?! This has the potential to be kickass!"

Disappointment the second: "Awesome the races and classes are finally being announced......... What the.... Where all the Eberron core classes? There's only frakking Warforged! Dammit I was all set to roll a Gnome Artificer!!!!!!!!!"

I missed last week, unfortunately, but for more info about collectibles (what's worth keeping and what you find where) go here:

I feel really stupid now. The last time I left a comment on this site it was saying something to the effect that most F2P games found a way to dump a bunch of malware on your system as a source revenue, but Turbine was going a different route. Then this crap. Apparantly even going to the offer wall, not even signing up for anything just LOOKING, exposes you to attack. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=242978

Do yourself a favor and stay away.

I'm a little surprised that this article didn't reference the DDO Choose My Adventure that went on last Decemberish iirc. Although things have gotten a bit easier on pure f2players (no level sigils, more high level free dungeons), It was a pretty good demonstration of exactly what F2P means in DDO terms. Can you play DDO 100% free? Yes, but it requires an investment. If you choose not to invest monetarily (VIP subs or spending cash via the Store to unlock a premium account), then you'll need to invest your time, via grinding favor to earn enough points to buy adventure packs from the store. I think its a little unrealistic to expect a for-profit company to provide you a free game that also doesn't bombard you with spam ads, malware and the like.
