Well then, count me amoung the whiners and those who will likely uninstall soon as this there are few things more stupid than paying to be on a "winners list" based largely on how much you paid to be on it. If that appealed to me, I'd go into politics. Given: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (TANSTAAFL). The D&D…

I think they removed it shortly after the launch (it was almost all on the official WOTC/Hasbro boards). It was pretty sad, especially considering everyone who would be listening to the pitch were D&D players. My guess is that Hasbro tuned the pitch in their standard focus groups, without ever considering that D&D already…

DDO PvP is hidden entirely in the basement of the Lobster for a reason. It is barely part of the game, the devs could care less about balancing for it, and nothing you do in those pits has any meaning outside of the Lobster. The ability to make a gimp is a completely different issue in DDO. In fact, Turbine pushes new…

Have you played Baldur's Gate? Obviously, plenty of the exploits (cloud based attacks, for one) would have to go, but if that was modernized (i.e. first/third person 3D), I don't see how it would be a worse foundation than 4e.

A ranged rogue in DDO would be dead meat in endgame, but could be the type of character you get out and play around with for fun. Your two options would either an [elvish] rogue/ranger hybrid (longbow) or mechanic rogue/artificer (crossbow). Note artificer isn't f2p and makes a huge difference for crossbow wielders after…

Oddly enough, the big thing about this game is the customization of the dungeon (foundry). My take: AD&D (I played 1e): low player customization by rules. Infinite DM customization and the DMG has a "throw in as much cool stuff as you can fit in it" feel leaving DM's with the certain knowledge that their ability to change…

Except there really isn't a reason that remotely intelligent monsters wouldn't rush over the barbarian to slay the wizard and cleric (4e may have had goofy chessboard rules to prevent this).
-
Hmmmm. Either I quit playing my cleric way too early (and never got the hang of healing remotely better than potions) or this is more like a duality game [tank - striker]. My cleric was pretty pointless at healing. Oddly enough, DDO is the other way: healing helps a lot, but tanking is only done as a last resort when…

You might be surprised to know that one of the main goals of D&D 5.0 is to allow AD&D style play. 3.5 resurrected D&D, but much of value was lost. The proof of the hero is in the questing, not the options he took on the character sheets (note this doesn't matter so much in an MMO without a foundry: everybody plays the same…

Except that there is a pathfinder license out there, and that is essentially a refined D&D 3.5. It looks vastly more like D&D than anything I've seen in 4e or NWO. Unfortunately, whoever has the license has essentially no funding and is asking for donations (the kickerstarter doesn't promise anything) so they can build…
