Ex-DDO players (Argonnesson anyone?)

Anyone out there from DDO (I was in Argonnesson)?
At the time, I was engaged in DDO with loyalty.
Since then, I've moved on.
Just curious if any ex-DDO players have taken an interest in Neverwinter.
Let me know.

Sadly there have been absolutely no good D&D game for a decade or 2 now. Last was NWN and depending on who you ask NWN2. I have high hopes for Neverwinter and hope for the best.
I am interested in seeing what might become of this game. Might even join a casual guild. If it ever gets released.:rolleyes:
Looking forward to see Neverwinter's potencial.:)
I'm curious how much Neverwinter has permeated into
the DDO community.
There are alot of us that are willing to give Neverwinter a shot, not because we are tired of DDO (I'm still a very active player on Ghallanda) but because Turbines handling of the game is, at best, a cluster ****.
That being said, Neverwinter will be a side project until I see what it turns out to be. I am excpetionally skeptical of anything that Atari has its hands in and havent been impressed with any of Cryptics MMO's so we aill see.
1) I wanted 4th edition rules now after playing tabletop and convention/game day 4th edition for years.
2) The overhead time needed for the DDO crafting and the (individual reset or) D&D Reincarnation was too much an investment.
(And last but not least: )
3) No druids. I was patient with the monks but I just about had it when they shoved in favored souls and artificers and no freakin' druids! Look, forget the animal companions, just add some nature spells and a summon wolf and I would have accepted it as allowable temporarily...three years ago. Now, it's just too late.
Now that Atari is gone and Perfect World is running the show, i think this will be god for Neverwinter, but unfortunately the wait is very long and i´m getting anxious for the release.:(
Right on.
Welcome to the forums.
Hit us up with your ideas
on the 'discussion' forums.

If you wanna make an ex-DDO'er guild let me know I'll join.
Cool.
Plenty of time to set it up.
Sure thing. I have a few buddies who I've mentioned NWOnline to, and everything I've heard has been positive feedback so eventually we'll want to have a "go-to" guild where we can meetup, and it would be fun to have some other D&D fans to be able to group with.
Although if this game has shards, I'm guessing most people will follow the rule of "A" for server population. It really depends on how the game plays, but if we do make an ExDDO guild we'd probably want to pick PVP or PVE and Red/White axis if PVP, or establish meeting/raid times if PVE.
Fun times ahead.
for some to overlook.
This sets it apart from any other
MMO or RPG or fantasy game in
existence.
It's not just another MMO trying
to be original or unique.
I have made an assumption,
based upon my own bias. And I
will use my DDO exposure as my
backbone.
Here it is: I have to assume that
there are DDO players that want
more of the deep DnD experience.
And Neverwinter is the most recent
solution.
It gives hope to us, the DnD adherents.
I quit DDO for my own reasons, and my bias
leads me to believe that there are other DDO
players out there that feel the same way.
For those coming over from DDO NOT looking
for the deep DnD experience... I'd have to ask why they
would even bother.
Gary Gygax used the imagination for
the template of DnD. The level
of success for a company
(such as Cryptic) to use a computer game
to tap into the imagination of the DnD experience
will REQUIRE qualitative data from ex players from
games such as DDO (especially since it uses the
term DnD).
The combination of community (Neverwinter and overall
DnD) and developers of Neverwinter
may actually have the capacity to pull off
a successful DnD experience through the computer-game
medium.
Those of us from DDO, that are deep DnD followers,
are aware of past mistakes
from past generations of computer games
using the DnD brand.
We are qualified to make recommendations
and criticisms that will compare and contrast
the DnD experience to our previous DnD engagements
as it is delivered through the Nevewinter medium computer game.
Note:
I refer to DDO only because it uses
the brand 'Dungeons and Dragons'. This is why
I have not said a word about other MMO's.
Just a general thought.
So far it's a starting platform for
peeps from the DDO community
looking for something more...
If a guild grows out of this... cool.
I popped in to take a peek as a Premium or ex P2P non VIP. Found the content for me as a L16/17 borderline character nonexistant without purchase and spent my TP to get my WF back which was my main. Unless I see options, there aren't any modules I can play to advance without buying which is kinda non "unlimited playing" options for high-levels anyway. I asked for advice on their forums to be fair, but looks like I'll not be sticking around if I have to pay to just play anyway (which equals either my paying now about $15 for now or a month's P2P/VIP the other way, (since I spent $8 already just to get the balance of TP to unlock the WF race to play my main before seeing what wasn't availabvle afterwards.)
So be it. Microtransactions become more like monthly.
