Avid MMORPG and MMOFPS player.
Been playing various MMO style games since about 1988 on AOL and GEnie, MU*''s on the internet back in the ''old days'' and then M59, UO, EQ, DAOC, AC, MPBT, RYL, Lineage II, EVE, E&B, Jumpgate, PlanetSide, SWG, WOW, EQ2, SoR, MxO and many others.
What's sad is we warned FLS of this problem during Beta.
It's not so much that PotBS is a BAD game... it's got a lot of potential. But the problem is that it's such a small world with no way for the lower end players to avoid being slaughtered b…

My problem with this game is twofold:
1. DDO is not in any way shape or form D&D. I was expecting something more akin to Neverwinter Nights, but instead got...this.
2. Same game play as Guild Wars, but with a m…

I've never been a real fan of D&D or played the online version so I don't understand some of the features you're trying to explain such as "32 point" builds or multiclassing. Although, those don't seem like so…

I know there sleeping or at work, but I don't see how only 40K can be online if there are 220K subs, that ~18% of active subs playing at one time, it seems low.
I need figures for other MMOs for a comparison.

I see your playing DDO, iam about to try the trial because i read that it is group based.....how are you liking it ?
I like DDO a lot... I'm on the '9.95' plan ($59/6months) and it's really worth it. It's a …

Thanks alot guys for taking the time to post, looks like i will pass then, iam done with solo games and will not play a new MMO unless grouping is the focal point. someone said WOW is a good grouping game, i dont kn…
So far I haven't needed to group at all. Level 8 now. If memory serves the 'need/desire' to group really doesn't start till around 10th or 11th level. That may have changed... I'm just coming back for the first time since the year the game relea…
I'm trying out the warden. Really like what I see of the game so far, though I'm not that impressed with the artwork they chose to go with for the fae.
don't have any of my original CD's so I downloaded the trial to take advantage of this and logged in with my old account. Sure enough it works. Only 1 question:
How do I get the free expansion content? Or will it just patch down automatically (…
Actually EQ2's graphics are quite well done.... Though I think they made the newer zones (Kelethin, etc) a bit too wow-esque.... I was really dissapointed with the Fae race as well. Faces look horrible.
But overall? No I dissagree with the OP...…

I recently left DDO, because most of my time was being spent LFG instead of actually playing. It's the best MMO out when you can find a group, imo. Unfortunately, that last until about lvl 5.
Finding a group in DDO…

Additionally, my friend who still plays this game also reports the following nonsensical change to the game mechanics:
drinking a potion now breaks the Combat Expertise stance.
As we all know, combat expertise has a…
Try getting a haste spell to hit you if you are just a few feet away and on a slope - is hit or miss.
I play both a bard, and a Wizard (both are haste casters). I have never, not once, had haste not hit a member that was in range of the s…

Bottom line:
It is Dungeons and Dragons. Not an FPS. The PLAYERS skill has zip, zero, nada, to do with the character's ability to accomplish tasks. The skills that the…
