DDO's Update 20 has three important features on the docket: an Eberron dungeon, a Forgotten Realms dungeon, and changes to the reincarnation system and enhancement tree. This looks to be a good update for the thrifty subset, as all of its content is coming to the community free of charge.

I dont think anything is going good nowadays in DDO, the few remaining players are all leaving the game.
We need more Ghostbane's Ghostbane (for who don't know this is a reference to the latest ghostbane weapons they added to the game, which made a complete mess)
I don't see what the change to the enhancement is. Adding a fifth level? But it always had a fifth level.
I see that they left out how there are changing the way you can get the component for a True Resurrection, True Druidic Heart of Wood. It used to be one can easily farm Cannith Challenges for it but now they changed it to where you had to complete sagas (a HUGE quest chain) which more than likely created the grind many times fold. Sounds like they trying to force players to pay for their TRs thought the store. I know there was a major backlash and there was an Occupy Marketplace Bridge but don't know what came out of that.
What DDO needs is a reboot, it's a VERY dated MMO and has lots of issues technical wise.
it needs a TR into an open world Faerun, mostly.

One could be called finite, the other infinite.
A finite game is played for the purpose of winning,
an infinite game for the purpose of continuing play."

Is this even a possibility? Does Turbine know how many people would love a DDO2!?
I love the complexity of character building. I even warmed to the idea of instanced dungeons( provided they utilize them right).
Adding an element of open world adventuring to boot would be mint.
a dream it shall remain, I guess.
All I got to look forward to is ESO,..and I am not even that 'into' it.
I recently played Neverwinter. It was so easy, that I found myself longing for the days of a Dangerous Dungeon. I, my wife, and two friends all bought the two expansions for DDO and started new characters at level 15. It's been amazing.
We found ourselves doing marathon dungeon runs all weekend and I don't think we logged off until 4am Saturday morning (we're usually off by midnight).
This game is sooo much better than Neverwinter.
After a month I was bored with it. Its system is a cut n paste of their Star Trek game which I lost interest in even quicker. They got some cash out of me when I was interested but its a shame for them that I couldn't be entertained with it long term enough to keep investing. The cash shop was way overpriced and that made quitting the game a helluva lot easier to dump.
