Well, it is of no matter as I will not be playing DDO past the free trial. That’s great, but what do I do when I get to the other side?

You just need to take your armour off and unequip your weapon. Who ever heard of someone swimming in full plate carrying a sword and shield. That's called 'sinking' Anyone in DDO can swim.

The quest system sounds awesome in so many ways, finally giving us interesting dungeons to explore, but then ruins it by making them so linear. I guess we can just hope future MMOs will learn from the mistakes, and that'll be DDO's little legacy. DDO really does sound like a missed opportunity.

Hint: keep the difficulty slider at half-way or a bit higher. Any lower is God mode, the highest setting is impossible. One-shotting mobs from stealth with a bow - brings back he good old days of Thief. I missed all my guild raids this week because of Oblivion.

I hate the social interface, and most of the time when I tell to someone, they can't respond. Would it be so bad to click the name of someone that gave you a tell to respond ala WoW? What we have is a game that is %100 dependent on groups, with a poor way to find them. Also, no crafting, no auction house, no pvp, I'm just having a hard time finding fun with this one. It's true, the instanced quests are pretty cool. Those few first solo noob quests are awesome. That said, at about lvl 2, EVERYONE you meet has done ALL OF THE QUESTS 40 TIMES. My first trip to WaterWorks was with a lvl 4 fighter with a flaming sword that could speedrun it. I "beat" the quest, by running behind him, skipping encounters. I think IF you have 3-4 friends that allways played with you, it would be a heck of a game. But as it is now, someone in every PUG is a cagey veteran, berating the noobs for not skipping every kobold. An auction house or PvP would do wonders... RE: oblivion, I'm SO TEMPTED to pick this up, but it just seems like a lvl/loot treadmill than a story drivin adventure. And if I'm going on the treadmill, I'm for damn sure going with other players so they can gawk at my flaming 2handed epenis of farming. So, about DDO.

Woo! Didn't like Morrowind too much, but was mostly thanks to the horrid character models and sluggish gameplay. I've seen and heard of improvement on both. Oh yeah...DDO. Umm...I have a D&D game tomorrow night. =D Buying Oblivion tomorrow! Woo! Didn’t like Morrowind too much, but was mostly thanks to the horrid character models and sluggish gameplay.

FYI: Morrowind was Elder Scrolls III. Just to clear it up. I'll be trying out Oblivion shortly. And I know you would love World of Warcraft, give it some more thought.
