When is someone going to start taking the "professional" game reviewers to task? Best game ever my ass! What I want to know, is did you play so much your fingers bled?

There so many D&D singleplayer RPGs that allow you to play with a group of friends online for free and they are 100x better. Like Baldurs gates, NWN, etc. DDO is a singleplayer game that charges you monthly.

I'm not sure there is any market system either, short of selling stuff to an NPC. There is also no housing. There is no crafting.

There is also no housing.

(I think, there won't be a free trial soon - to be able to try it our myself) Just curious: How about the crafting system and the market implementation?

Yes, I am an EVE fanboi, sorry (not) :-) ftw = “For the win”

I agree the game is still somewhat buggy, but your thoughts on gameplay are exactly opposite of mine. I enjoy the fact that it's not another "go into attack mode and grab a drink" game. As far as an excessive amount of clicking, I haven't noticed that there's any more clicking in this game than, say, EQ2. Except in combat, where I agree it tends to get crazy. That's why I play a caster. :) Your technical issues also surprised me, given that my system is roughly the same as yours, right down to the 6800GT. I had none of these problems, and routinely play the game at the highest resolution. It's definitely a game that is going to keep you, or make you want to play something else. It's very different from the normal fare, very much an acquired taste. Interesting. I agree the game is still somewhat buggy, but your thoughts on gameplay are exactly opposite of mine.
