Be careful when you say that old, disgruntled player's concerns are not relevant to you. If you do not heed to the past, it is certain to repeat itself. Bottom line is that if Turbine can, with a straight face and no regard whatsoever, take $1…

Well, I had to try it out for myself. I stopped posting here for a small period while I got involved over at the DDO "beta". I have to agree with the earlier poster who said that DDO's decision to go this route had to have been a result of a hail ma…

Wow that's not 3 years too late or anything. DDOFail strikes again.

After playing the beta and seeing that Turbine really hasn't learned from previous mistakes, I am going to decline playing DDO even as a free game. Nerfs to XP for popular missions (thereby making it more dependent on doing every little quest …

Originally posted by Wind-breaker Very nice blog, by the way. Bear in mind, your prospective is quite different from Signetring, as I believe he was a vet DDO player, and your blog indicated that you played 4 days and hated it, and rec…

Actually if you read all their module splash pages every one of them announced that the content that was being delivered was FREE. Our subscriptions paid for the development of such content, charging again for it just seems criminal. In…
-
Well I have been actually trying out the Beta to see if the free play is going to be worthwhile and I really have to say it's a mixed bag. There are some good and there's some bad. Unfortunately the bad points make it almost not worth trying. …

Troll = someone with a different opinion? I may not agree with what YOU say, but I will defend your right to say it. We deserve the same courtesy.
-
Perhaps you would be so kind as to point out what part of the agreement says that subscription fees are purely for access to the servers? As you stated already, I am free to make a choice with my money. In the case of DDO that choice has been made f…

The problem with this update is that in the past, Turbine has made *many* lofty statements about their product as if they were the first ones who thought of the wheel, electricity and telephones. They read their own press releases and get gidd…
-
The most generous estimates put DDO at under 120k subs at launch, with over half of them not renewing past the first month. DDO fell flat on its ass and Turbine knows it. They tried to hide it but with server merges and ghost-town servers still to …
-
Something else to note - DDO must have suffered a huge loss in subscriptions in order for Turbine to justify this new direction. Case in point: In today's economy if you have 25,000 subscriptions @ 14.95 per month we are talking about $4.5 mill…

I honestly believe this move to add RMT to DDO was last-minute and rushed. There's no other explanation for all the CS reps telling everyone to hang in there with mod9 and then suddenly find out the whole game is changing. I share your skeptic…
-
All they did was punt the ball to buy another couple of months. It's very sad. Also, I get the impression that they did not always plan on doing Mod9 with the F2P overhaul. It seemed for a while there they were ready to release it (looking at …
-
I understood their current language that Mod9 is delayed until the first update after DDO EU goes live. I would not be surprised at all if this were the case, since when do we put any confidence in what they say? Seriously, someone else hit th…

DDO going to console has to be the biggest joke from the fanboi's. The next biggest joke was all the secrecy due to "pending legal action"... absurd. Turns out, the fanbois can put the tinfoil hats away, it's as we first suspected - …
-
AgtSmith makes a good point. After all the months of "be patient", there's this big announcement and yet--no Mod 9. And btw - I haven't paid Turbine since 2007 for this game. So don't classify me as someone who pays them anything. They don't d…
-
This is an expected move, many people predicted free to play was the only way that DDO could survive. You can't charge people for 8 months of fees (times the full going rate) and not deliver a single patch, update or live event. Now that you …
-
So let me get this straight, now people will be paying more, for less? Don't think you are going to get more updates than in the past. This move is the final death rattle. If it fails to bring in a new bump to DDO (and it will fail, btw) they have n…
-
This latest announcement underscores the point of the thread. There were dozens if not hundreds of fanboi's screaming at the top of their lungs that all the silence was due to some legal action that was pending, citing numerous "gag orders" and refe…
