The interviewer asked Paiz to give a basic explanation of the game, and to comment on the state of the game at launch compared to where it's at now, on its second birthday -- RPG Vault described the overall feel of the reviews that <em>DDO </em>received at launch as "good but not oustanding". Paiz said that she did feel that the launch reviews were fair, but that much has been improved now, especially the significant additions of PvP and solo gameplay.<br /><br />Paiz is also asked to look forward, to tell us what is coming in the future, and to say what makes <em>DDO</em> a game that people should try if they haven't before. She brought up <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/03/15/ddo-qanda-mod-7-the-monk-and-more/">Module 7</a>, which includes the Monk class as well as some new low and high level content, looking after both veterans and newbies. At the end of the interview, she asked to hear from the players of the game about what they'd like to see added, with particular interest in any guild features that people have ideas for -- she mentions the importance of guilds in bringing new players to the game, and wants to make sure that things are kept interesting for these groups.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/03/25/kate-paiz-interviewed-for-ddos-second-anniversary/">Kate Paiz interviewed for DDO's second anniversary</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:30:00 EST.

During the interview, she said that the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/01/04/codemasters-announce-connect-2008-mmorpg-event-for-europeans/">Connect 08 event</a> that will take place in just a few days time now will showcase one of the main features of this content update, the brand new Monk class. This will not just be a video -- there will be a playable demo available to attendees as well.<br /><br />Apart from the Monk, Module 7 will bring a new high level wilderness and raid based in Shavarath, and some improvements to the crafting system, with more crafting love promised for the future. TTH also asks Paiz about how the 4th Edition D&amp;D Ruleset will affect <em>DDO</em>. Without going into all the detail here, she basically says that they will work out what fits with <em>DDO</em> only after the Wizards of the Coast iron out the new feature set, which is not set in stone just yet. Check out the <a href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/28638">full interview</a> for more on that and Module 7, with just a hint of Module 8 at the end.<em></em><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/03/12/kate-paiz-discusses-ddos-module-7-monk-demo-at-connect-08/">Kate Paiz discusses DDO's Module 7; Monk demo at Connect 08</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:00:00 EST.
