    Don't
    mind We3, he isn't getting his information from legitimate sources. WoW
    is very equipment based. You cannot go through the game solo using the
    same equipment. The author of that source of information didn't even
    include his gear or class, which makes We3 look pretty foolish. I'm not
    at all mad or irritated, but just goes to show how far fanboy will go
    to prove their point, which is the point of stupidity. Look information
    yourself and you'll that is a missing from that post.

    I've seen
    post like this in WoW, but they've included their gear, class and
    tactics. The amount of days it took to finish WoW was over a month.
    This post that We3 pulled out of his butt doesn't include this, which
    means We3 has just embarassed him.

    Read the thread, the druid class is mentioned as is the mage class, 2 days to get to lvl 60 lol lol lol

    I
    suggest you post on that thread yourself and tell them how crazy they
    are for suggesting it then if you don't agree, as it seems the majority
    of them do. It seems they know a lot more about WoW than you do lol lol

    GO
    on post on it let's all have a laugh lol lol lol. I will relink it on
    here after you have, if you are not a member, make sure you use the
    same name you do on here so we can see, go on do it, tell them how
    ridiculous they are! lol lol lol




    I read the entire topic. Other people have done the same thing and at
    the most, you can only get 1 through 50 in 4 days. Again, your source
    of information is questionable if not false. You should have read
    through the whole damn thread and again, the guy doesn't mention
    getting new equipment. The only way you can blast through WoW in a
    manner of days if you played the game before, even the OP of that topic
    admitted. Others mention, they had to use other toons to help them out.



    So again, your source information isn't legitmate, you're making
    yourself looking stupid laughing at non-legitmate source of information.

    But once again I ask? You can't finish an MMO. There are always things to do. Single player games have a finish MMO's do not.

    It is as legitimate as the information you give about DDO.

    As I said, if you don't agree with them, tell them, go on, you certainly have an opinion on most things, if they are wrong, tell them, I'm waiting................

    You yourself also said it could be done in 2 days without sleep etc.............

    Have you told them how ridiculous they are yet, hurry up.

    You must not leave until you free Arlos and have gathered your party safely in this hallway.

    Exactly, my point after you reach level 60 they are more quests to do.

    What the hell? The information repeated here is from actual gameplay
    and other people have said the same thing. Nobody has agreed with that
    post seeing as everyone has done it only in 2 days. DDO can beaten
    without sleep, but I doubt it would take 2 days to do it. One full day
    to go through the content.

    With 149 quests in DDO (not enoght) and about 100 cant be done solo. how you plan on skimming through DDOs whole content in one day?
    If quests havent been done before (without guide) they take hours to complete, even the road to certain quests can swallow a whole day to find...

    Level 4 in two hours?! wow thats some nasty XP farming!

    lets see what you have to do to level to 4 (all quests done on normal difficulty in rushmode)
    Level 1: (ill be nice and start after quests you have to do, to enter stormreach)
    Lord Goodblades quests - 3 short quests with good xp
    Guard Heorogar - Low road. short quest great xp
    After these 4 quest you will still be missing 200-300 xp, but lets say DING LEVEL 2! gratz

    TIME: about 20 mins

    Level 2: This is the fastest way i know to level to 3, so here goes...
    Durks secret - 10mins
    Butchers Path - 15mins
    Lighthouse - 10mins
    Cartamons quest serie - 20mins
    Osgoods basement - 10mins
    Waterworks - 1 hour (4 parts with about 15mins each)
    DING! you reached LEVEL 3! grats!
    total time: just about 2 hours

    TIME: 2 hours and 20 - 25 mins

    Now this is where it gets intersting. you have uptained level 3 = 30.000 xp in 2 hours and 20mins. you now need to get hold of 20.000 more xp in minus 20 mins. here is some quests you could do to level to 4....
    Seal of Shan-To-Kor - 1 hour
    Redfang the unruled - 15mins
    Dephes quest serie - 1 hour
    the sacred helm - 20mins
    the Swiped Signet - 15mins

    I dont think i need to state the obvious here...stop trolling!

    As I said, I don't play WoW anymore, too Fisher Price for my tastes. Half the people agreed on there it could be done in 2 days, some said 3 or 4, now, if you have a problem with their information, sign up to that forum and tell them, you are eager and keen to pick all the faults in DDO, a game you don't play, so go and tell those you disagree with about WoW how wrong they are, go on Mr WoW expert, it's your game, enlighten them with your knowledge!

    Actually, no. Most of the
    people on the topic disagree that this game can be finished in 2 days.
    2 days sound like a good theory, but it can't be done and the poster
    was obviously lying since he does not have his gear noted. Most
    of them agreed that 4 days is the max and that if you do sleepless
    nights. That doesn't mean the game is easy, but rather it speak volumes
    about the player mentality because he spent 4 sleep nightss doing this.
    Same thing with PvP when a guy took the whole month off to reach the
    highest rank in PvP. It takes half a year for players to get the
    highest rank and that's if they play everyday. You're trying to say WoW
    is easy, but you fail because these players had to go to the extremes
    and play the day for 4 days straight to do it.

    And again, you
    can't beat WoW, it's end game content takes months to beat. Once again,
    we3, stop pulling stuff out of ass to make your argument look good.
    Anybody whose play WoW and went to end game knows that it takes 3
    months to 6 months to complete the whole game, if newer content hasn't
    already come out by the time. Not to mention, WoW days upon days of
    extra stuff and side quest.

    However, DDO doesn't take that
    long to go it's content. One whole week to go through the beginning to
    end like I did. The games in areas were other RPGs succeed. As for that
    board, I don't say anything to them, they already people in their mind
    who are already disagree with that poster who pulling stuff out of his
    ass about his post on WoW. Again, it's a nice theory, but it can't be
    done.

    Again, stop making references about age because I've
    seen grown men on different DDO servers act like children because no
    one was roleplaying or those people they were partying with weren't
    serious about the quests. None of the other people were kids either.
    What makes a game go to pieces is there maybe a lack of authority (In
    the case of WoW) or there is a lack of fun factor. (In both the case of
    DDO and EQ2) Again, I've partied with 14 and a 16 years old. If this
    game was too complex for kids to play then explain why a 14 to 16 year
    have level 6 to 8 characters on this game. If this game was too complex
    are were these two able to manage a guild. Again, we3 stop speaking
    your ass.

    Kids play DDO just as they would any other mmorpg
    out there, but the sad part is, is the number of players who are not
    playing DDO. That's part that shoudl be the main focus on argument.
    (But isn't which is no surprise)



    DDO has under 90k people and majority of the people playing are European. My guess
    is that the number of Americans playing is around 30-40k while European
    probably make up 45k to 50k. A population of 30k isn't even half the
    population in one state. Jesus man, don't you know your math? I mean it
    takes 50k to run an mmorpg, but any mmorpg with numbers under 100k is a
    pathetic game.

    If it's been answered, I don't see it, so I'll ask again:

    CaptainRPG, what other games on that list to the left are so good-looking as to make DDO look "horrible"? I just got done reading another DDO thread where Theo said, "I really like the graphics a lot. The characters are stunning in their details," so I'd like to know what MMOs look so great as to make DDO look as terrible as you say. And since I doubt you would answer that with "World of Warcraft," I'd like to know what you think of WoW's graphics compared to DDO's.

    what other games on that list to the left are so good-looking as to

    where Theo said, "I really like the graphics a lot. The characters are
    stunning in their details," so I'd like to know what MMOs look so great
    as to make DDO look as terrible as you say. And since I doubt you would
    answer that with "World of Warcraft," I'd like to know what you think
    of WoW's graphics compared to DDO's.



    Graphics: GW and WoW hands down. You may not like the cartoon graphics
    in WoW, but at least I don't have to cringe at characters as I to do
    with DDO. The dwarves in DDO look nothing like their book version,
    rather they look more like hunchbacks. The elves in DDO look like their
    bulimic and they are horribly designed, especially the male elves. The
    male elves may not look as good in WoW, but the female are goddess.
    Skipping onto humans, GW beats WoW hands down in terms of human detail
    and have the best set of humans out of all of them. DDO is crap for
    both male and female.



    The armor designs in GW and WoW are both good. WoW gives you the norse
    and medieval style looks while GW gives you the greek/roman and conan
    the barbarian style outfits. We even get viewable capes. What does DDO
    offer in terms of armor designs, the same crap they had back in NWN
    (Which is not a good thing) and NO viewable capes.



    The animation in DDO is HORRIBLE. GW uses different animations for it's
    attacks and WoW at least gives my elf the ability to hold his weapon
    like samurai and flip around. The swings in DDO are so unrealistic it
    isn't even funny.





    UI: The UI in WoW is better. The UI in GW isn't too good, but you
    custom size of icons. DDO only allows you to move the icons around or
    shut them off.



    Emos: GW beats WoW in Emos. As for DDO, have you seen anyone dance in
    DDO? If you have, I'm pretty sure you almost put a pencil through your
    eye because the dancing sucks. And that's just a few to note.



    Sound/Music: GW gets voices and voice acting while WoW at least has
    voices for it's characters. The only voice you guys get is narrators.
    The music in WoW is memorable, GW music sucks and DDO doesn't really
    exist. (Okay, it does, but they like GW have nothing for them in this
    department)



    A.I: The A.I in WoW is govern by aggro making it so that everyone has
    part to play in keeping it down. GW's A.I is little a smart and they'll
    start attack your spellcasters if they notice them being overally
    helpful. DDO A.I is just bad because the monsters will attack you, run
    off, comeback or dogpile one person and not think twice about attacking
    anyone else.



    Extra: DDO has nothing else except dungeon crawling and meeting up at
    inns. There is no world in DDO and no place to explore. And all DnD
    games have been known for their explorable areas OUTSIDE OF DUNGEONS.
    DDO has none and is nothing more than Dungeons crawler. GW and WoW have
    plenty of side quest to do, WoW especially with all the crafting,
    collecting and the ability to ride on horseback.



    End-game: It's takes months to get horse and end-game equipment just so
    you can explore more dungeons after reaching level 60. DDO lacks a real
    end game. Class equipment and horses.



    Loading Times: WoW has the least amount of loading times. You only load
    when going to PvP areas or inside dungeons. DDO and GW both load a
    hellva a lot, which kills the fun factor of any game.



    Community: WoW has groups for everyone. I've been in several mature
    guilds (I mostly play RP servers) and they had members as young as 14
    who knew how to roleplay as good as adults. Yes, WoW does have immature
    community, but you have the ability to turn off your general chat.
    Plus, most of the immaturity goes on at the Allliance side and it's
    mostly in the beginning areas. GW is just as immature as WoWs. DDO
    community is on the decline. Most of the people playing these games are
    Europeans (who also make more of the players in WoW than Americans),
    adults with money to throw away and fans of the series. Now with DDO
    under 90k, that means theirs only 30,000 to 40,000 Americans playing
    this game and probably 50,000 to 45,000 people in European playing this
    game. Plus, the DDO rarely moves and the only time DDO is very active
    in-game is during the afternoon hours when kids get home and parents
    come home from work. Adult may not play WoW and GW as much as kids do,
    but adult REALLY don't play DDO as much either.



    PvE/PvP: WoW has an open world to explore and dungeons that are massive
    and life like. WoW doesn't force you to just go a PvE route or a PvP
    route. WoW PvP is somewhat balanced, but they've finally come close to
    balance all the classes except the Rogue and the Warrior. Now GW on the
    other hand is confined to instances, but at least it has an explorable
    world. However, the PvE is forced and PvP is still lacking, yet fun.
    The PvP is balance ever. DDO's PvP is unbalanced as Wizard/Sorcerers,
    Clerics and Paladins are at the top again just as they were in NWN. DDO
    PvE is repetitive, in which you see the same module of dungeon used,
    you'll run into the same type of monsters and you stucking doing the
    sewers for the first part of the game.



    Compare to other games, DDO has nothing to offer nor anything new to
    offer. It's just fanboy trying to give non-existencing qualities to DDO
    because they envious of how well the other games are doing and they are
    tired of fanboys from other boards bragging about how well their game
    is doing to them on this board.

    "The swings in DDO are so unrealistic it isn't even funny."

    Heh, my dwarf paladin in WoW swings like a girl, with cute little girly sound effects, whereas my little halfling paladin in DDO swings an axe like he's got a pair. Just standing still with a shield and holy mace, my DDO dwarf cleric to me looks like he'll kick your ass if you look at him funny. I only get that same impression in WoW when my druid is in bear form. Other than that, while DDO player characters may have a sameness look to them, the environment detail is impressive.

    Flipping around? Put some points into tumble and you can do backflips and forward flips in the middle of combat. And those flips are actually useful and not just for show because DDO has a realistic melee threat range. Do other games have an animation for when a character stands in front of another and blocks a barrage of arrows from hitting his teammate? What other games let you manually dodge a fireball?

    You think DDO female elves look bulimic, while I think WoW female elves look like they need to hit the stairmaster.

    A.I... more often than not when fighting intelligent monsters, they go straight for the spellcasters just like the party does. You mention fighting kobolds all the time, and kobolds are one of the best examples of this behavior.

    I see the monsters attacking the person with the most aggro all the time, which is why wizards die real quick if they toss area-of-effect spells around haphazardly. A wizard tossing multiple fireballs at a creature will more often than not then get more attention than he wants. The main times I see monsters piling on one guy is when the guy is taunting effectively, or he is doing plenty of damage. Two-handed fighters can do decent area-of-effect melee damage which helps keep monsters' attention.

    I don't know how this is even a point of debate. Nearly EVERY decent fight I've been in in DDO consists of a quick party chat beforehand as to who is going to do what due to the monsters having at least half a brain. The main ones that don't and just run around like you say are zombies. Kobolds run around too, but it's more like they're spring attacking than being mindless.

    The dancing in DDO is pretty good. Not necessarily the character dancing, but the monster dancing. I now point anyone to youtube who hasn't seen the DDO Dance to the Music video. The earth elementals and beholders are good stuff.

    Endgame is a separate issue. A game might have a great endgame but have a lousy journey getting to it, or vice-versa. If someone plays a game for a month or three and then has nothing else to do, it doesn't mean they didn't have fun for a month or three and that the game wasn't good for a month or three. Meanwhile, WoW 1-60 is rather different from 60+, and not everyone enjoys both.

    PVE: I'd enjoy GW's world more if I didn't constantly run into invisible walls and could jump. DDO lets you jump from ledge to ledge and pull yourself up by your fingertips if you barely make the jump, or Feather Fall from great heights. Too bad City of Heroes seems to be one of the few (only?) games that gets flying right. WoW has lifelike dungeons? If there's one thing DDO is good at, (and the main thing people harp on about it), is it knows how to do dungeons. When I'm in a DDO dungeon, it feels like a dungeon.

    For PVP, of course clerics lead the way because clerics are arguably the most powerful class, despite certain DDO nerfs to them -- although the Monty Haul factor clearly helps fighters. D&D isn't supposed to be a balanced PVP game. Many people say balancing for PVP is what screws up otherwise good games.

    You often say you've beaten DDO doing your trial playing, but then you often only talk about kobolds and the early dungeons. Is the VoN series filled with kobolds and early-level dungeons? How about Twilight Forge? Or the Cult of Six series? Or Delera's Tomb? I don't think there's any kobolds in the Threnals. Or in Stormcleave. Or in Redwillow. Or in Gwylan's Stand. A lot of your DDO writings are as if you've never played past level five, and that you've only run with powerleveling zergers to get there.

    enjoy GW's world more if I didn't constantly run into invisible walls
    and could jump. DDO lets you jump from ledge to ledge and pull yourself
    up by your fingertips if you barely make the jump, or Feather Fall from
    great heights. Too bad City of Heroes seems to be one of the few
    (only?) games that gets flying right. WoW has lifelike dungeons? If
    there's one thing DDO is good at, (and the main thing people harp on
    about it), is it knows how to do dungeons. When I'm in a DDO dungeon,
    it feels like a dungeon. For PVP, of course clerics lead the
    way because clerics are arguably the most powerful class, despite
    certain DDO nerfs to them -- although the Monty Haul factor clearly
    helps fighters. D&D isn't supposed to be a balanced PVP game. Many
    people say balancing for PVP is what screws up otherwise good games.You
    often say you've beaten DDO doing your trial playing, but then you
    often only talk about kobolds and the early dungeons. Is the VoN series
    filled with kobolds and early-level dungeons? How about Twilight Forge?
    Or the Cult of Six series? Or Delera's Tomb? I don't think there's any
    kobolds in the Threnals. Or in Stormcleave. Or in Redwillow. Or in
    Gwylan's Stand. A lot of your DDO writings are as if you've never
    played past level five, and that you've only run with powerleveling
    zergers to get there.

    I was just
    about to reply to your post, point to point, when I remember WoW 7
    million players and DDO has only 60k. If WoW was so poor as you say 7
    million players, both adults and kids, wouldn't be playing it and why
    isn't the game's price dropping. If DDO is so great why is the
    population declining and the price of the game dropping?



    Oh and forgot to mention, how I love how you ignore the comparsion with GW. It's beautiful to watch your ignorance at work.

    Heh, my dwarf paladin in WoW swings like a girl, with cute little girly sound effects, whereas my little halfling paladin in DDO swings an axe like he's got a pair. Just standing still with a shield and holy mace, my DDO dwarf cleric to me looks like he'll kick your ass if you look at him funny. I only get that same impression in WoW when my druid is in bear form. Other than that, while DDO player characters may have a sameness look to them, the environment detail is impressive.
    Flipping around? Put some points into tumble and you can do backflips and forward flips in the middle of combat. And those flips are actually useful and not just for show because DDO has a realistic melee threat range. Do other games have an animation for when a character stands in front of another and blocks a barrage of arrows from hitting his teammate? What other games let you manually dodge a fireball?
    You think DDO female elves look bulimic, while I think WoW female elves look like they need to hit the stairmaster.
    A.I... more often than not when fighting intelligent monsters, they go straight for the spellcasters just like the party does. You mention fighting kobolds all the time, and kobolds are one of the best examples of this behavior.
    I see the monsters attacking the person with the most aggro all the time, which is why wizards die real quick if they toss area-of-effect spells around haphazardly. A wizard tossing multiple fireballs at a creature will more often than not then get more attention than he wants. The main times I see monsters piling on one guy is when the guy is taunting effectively, or he is doing plenty of damage. Two-handed fighters can do decent area-of-effect melee damage which helps keep monsters' attention.
    I don't know how this is even a point of debate. Nearly EVERY decent fight I've been in in DDO consists of a quick party chat beforehand as to who is going to do what due to the monsters having at least half a brain. The main ones that don't and just run around like you say are zombies. Kobolds run around too, but it's more like they're spring attacking than being mindless.
    The dancing in DDO is pretty good. Not necessarily the character dancing, but the monster dancing. I now point anyone to youtube who hasn't seen the DDO Dance to the Music video. The earth elementals and beholders are good stuff.
    Endgame is a separate issue. A game might have a great endgame but have a lousy journey getting to it, or vice-versa. If someone plays a game for a month or three and then has nothing else to do, it doesn't mean they didn't have fun for a month or three and that the game wasn't good for a month or three. Meanwhile, WoW 1-60 is rather different from 60+, and not everyone enjoys both.

    As i have asked you before, what strategies did you use to beat the Titan, since you 'completed' DDO some 2 months ago, you would have been the first!

    You claimed that kobolds are all you faced until level 5.

    You know nothing about DDO or WoW for that matter, I showed you some people's comments on the forum regarding the fact that you could level a character to 60 in WoW in two days, you said yes, if you did not sleep etc, then you said it couldn't be done, and that they were wrong, I told you to tell them in that case, (as people here in the DDO forum would not care) you have not done that, are you frightened they would rip you to shreds, you coward!

    The new Honour system has launched in WoW with the latest patch, shouldn't you be there instead of here, or are you sick of getting your ass handed to you by 11 and 12 year olds????

    I didn't PvP, I played RP

    WoW anymore nor am I a WoW fanboy. However, I do respect WoW ability to

    level.



    Also stop using me as a means to an end. Assuming I didn't even pass
    the training area of DDO online...you are still left with the question
    as why is DDO prices declining, why is DDO population declining and why
    are the DDO messageboards on the official forums and other websites on
    the decline. As I told Bes, believe whatever you want, it's not going
    to fix DDO current condition. Even I was here, other people would be

    still come to this board to tell you how much this game sucks.

    DDO's population IS increasing, I play, I see the extra people running around, see their descriptions when looking for a group and I talk to them.

    You, know NOTHING on DDO's current state, absolutely NOTHING!

    You still have not said how you beat the Titan, since you were the first!

    said, assuming I never played the game in my life, how does that help
    explain why the population and prices are on decline. I'm not the cause
    of why DDO is on the decline so again, please explain why DDO prices
    are still on the decline.

    If the prices drops for a computer game that's a sign the product isn't
    doing well or they are getting ready to sell an expansion pack. Both
    NWN and GW have done this. I imagine WoW is going to do the same thing
    in a couple of months for Burning Crusade. DDO prices dropped during
    the summer. As matter fact of fact, It went from $50 to 20 dollars in
    over 6 months. That's poor sells for a product that hasn't even been
    out for a year.

    I bought DDO dvd version from amazon.com this week for 9 dollars. So, 30 days for 9 dollars sounds like a win/win for me. I liked the trial so I bought the game cheap and is a perfect bargin to tide me over on winter break from school. Depending how I like the game at end of 30 days I'll decide to keep it or unsub, but for 9 dollars I don't feel I lost much.

    I think now is the perfect time to try DDO since the product is so cheap either online or from store shelves. I don't give a rats butt if the game is struggling or not. If I find the game fun then I don't mind paying for it, struggling in sales or not.

    This question doesn't make sense.
    Are you saying because the prices drop do I expect the number of people
    playing the game to stay the game or drop? I can't say yes or no
    something unless your elaborate on what you mean?
