D&D Online

I can't help but notice there are only 5 servers left since the server merge. I think if the game were to close, Turbine should repackage the game. Since most folks that really enjoy DDO only play with there friends, as they would in the traditional PnP way, they might think it is a good idea too. I explain below.

Turbine should repackage DDO into a client/server/toolset game kind of like NeverWinterNights. This would allow one to host a game server(dedicated) and there friends could log into and play there favorite DDO adventures. Turbine could then sell modules (like NWN) one could add to there server, and of course with the toolset build there own adventures... I think this would work just because of the way DDO is built, no big world to explore, and the adventures are usually just a few steps away.

What do you think, cool or crazy??

I doubt thats gonna happen - They let AC2 die and completely ignore please to release the source.

I don't think it's that crazy. Why not?

1st. The Game has been said to be making Turbine a decent amount of money, The amount of servers really don't matter.

2nd. Why would Turbine release the sourcecode to AC2 when they are using that same technology for DDO and LOTRO. It's simply not going to happen.

1st, the post said nothing about releasing the source code...

2nd, the post talked about repackaging DDO a-la neverwinter nights style, with some nice tool-sets and script language to build it...

3rd, your right they will never release a repackaged version, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to host your own server and build your own adventures for your DnD friends to adventure through.. Yes we have neverwinter, but I like the DDO engine, playstyle and environments better.
