DDO will be implimenting the Craft skills at a later date.

Well since you said you have played D&D! you should know that the majority of experience is given at the end of each game. I have only roleplayed one PnP where the GM gave experience out after every kill, and would let you advance your character once you earned enough exp. Well if you have 4-6 players and they all level close to the same time you lose a lot of gaming time.

So to answer your question: Yes! after every adventure you will recieve your exp/items etc. Just a reminder you do not have to kill everything in each adventure. you can complete each dungeon in your own way. Either by killing, or doing what ever it takes to complete the adventure. Use each dungeon to your characters advantage.

there is other stuff i have read like the launch of DnD online will not have half-orcs i would be pissed off if that was true.(long live half-orc barb)

Well from the Eberron book (not from the Species of Eberron) the Half-orcs are a very uncommon race. Just like the Drow (Dark elves) I know becasue of popular demand they will be implimented in a patch, but as of now half-orcs are not one of the races you can choose from.

also i want to know if ull be able to get any item in 3rd edition of DnD like horses or alchemists fire????

Since DDO is in instance world. Meaning: Once you except an adventure you and your party will be sent directly to the dungeon. I do not think that DDO will have horses. As for the Alchemists fire I really do not think this will be implimented, but what do I know Turbine seems to change there mind a lot.

Read more of the Development on www.ddo.com I have made it a habit just to read what the DEV team writes and ignore the ppl on the board.

i havent read the eberron book much cause im in to 3rd edition and eberrron is for 3.5 so does that mean that the new ddo will have 3.5 rules and stuff?????

DDO is being created using 3.5 rules system along with the eberron campaign settings.

I think the more books the Wizards developes for Eberron the more material that Trubine will be able to use for the MMORPG.

 

poobla

I have never played the pnp so i dont know what your talking about but i do know that Turbine is using the 3.5 rules and not too many 3rd edition items. This is what I hear from friends and fourms. Just thought youd like to know

It is 3.5 edition , which is dumbed down 3.0 edition - So it is actually much easier to transfer it to computer game or non D&D players to understand.

But as I explained before DDO is not really D&D , it is just a game that resembles D&D in some aspects....so I wouldnt expect to much for rule mongers...
