I'll usually get all the explorers and will take whatever rares and walkups there are.

Short, satisfying, occasionally sweet: Developing a taste for Deimos.Wilderness areas are certainly worth it, if anything to kill time if you really don't feel like running a quest ('hey, I got 20 minutes to play, lets get some slayers'), for atmosphere, and sometimes loot.

DDO going free to play was a huge event, and luckily it was hugely successful.ĥ. It takes something big to get people to reconsider their first impressions. People will generally stick with their initial impression, even if it turns out to be completely wrong.Ĥ.

People can get bored and will eventually look for “something new”, but the have to be ready for it.ģ. People will tend to stick with a game they like and will look for the same things in other games.Ģ. The games were just too different from WoW back when he was totally engrossed in WoW.įrom a developer’s point of view, this matches with my experiences.ġ. Now that he’s bored with WoW, he’s checking the games out again (thanks to Massively’s effort) and finding out he’s enjoying them. He basically said that he gave DDO and LotRO a little bit of time each and just didn’t get into them, so he ignored them and went back to WoW. He was playing WoW, heard about new MMOs and went to check them out. Basically, it’s a variation on the “WoW tourist” thing. One of the guys I was grouped with last night provided some insight into Longasc’s question. The Tweet link, btw, was done with Twitter’s new Blackbird Pie tool. So, it was another fun night! Thanks to Rubi, Syp, and the rest of the Massively crew for organizing it, thanks to Kasul and my groupmates, and looking forward to playing again Sunday and next week! He was too much for both of us, but my cleric hireling managed to finish the fight and get me standing. As in the normal difficulties, the Skeletal Mage was the only difficult encounter. I scored some rather nice boots from it, and got clerical advice from the group leader, which was much appreciated.Īfterward, I joined Kasul in Korthos Island, where we knocked off the Cannith Aqueduct mission on Elite. All very standard stuff, actually - the fun was in the company, and the loot wasn’t bad.

A long quest series sends you through that dungeon many times, each time exploring a little further, until the final mission which sends you to kill the leader. Tangleroot Gorge is a huge wilderness area within which sits an equally massive dungeon. The developers have to eat, too! Still an absolute bargain. I’ve said many times that if I like a F2P game, I have no problem at all spending money in its cash shop. Rubi had bought a few guest passes (at 50 Turbine Points each), but I decided to take the plunge and just buy the adventure pack.īoth purchases combined don’t even come to one month’s subscription to some other title, and I’ve been playing DDO for a few months now. That’s an adventure pack I didn’t have, AND I just bought another adventure pack, Sharn Syndicate, last week. So I hung out in the Bleeding Stump Tavern, or the Sucking Leg Wound Saloon or whatever it’s called, got a group, and debated what to do about the destination de la nuit, Tangleroot Gorge.

Though I usually am just content to get some of my solo quests out of the way to get ready for the Sunday group, tonight… tonight I wanted to be part of the special event. I bought a pile of guest passes and we did Tangleroot.
