IMO the reason I'll never play a game with Perma Death I can sum up in two words - Leroy Jenkins.

Froced grouping and corpse retrieval in EQ 1 = ruined me forever,....

I died once in a party wipe way at the bottom of the Froglock? city/caverns This was a bout 12 years ago, then the whole party just ups and quits and leaves me there. I'm naked standing out front asking and asking in global if someone could please help me.

My "hero" will never beg again.

I told them in beta the game sucks. I hate being right all the time,...  :)

They are still pulling there server is only open for pre set times last I knew.

I am playing eve now, but the constant ganking has taken a lot of fun out of it for me and my small corp.

I won't explore because that's just a death sentence - I'm just sitting in the space station learning stuff so maybe I can venture out one day. Right now it's not worth the monthly cost.

I guess my point is they took two of the biggest names in fantasy and turned them into crap. They had two cash cows and they failed to deliver any kind of quality to either title.

 

I can go on and on withwhat I think is wrong with D&D online - but lets just say that most agree that the game lacks something, hence the subs or lack there of.

 

How do you screw up D&D ? You can do anything!

If you think LotRO lacks quality, you've clearly played very very little of what is on the market. I may not have specifically fallen in love with LotRO, but one thing I can't deny is that what was they've delivered is a finished, polished product and have kept churning out content in such a state since its release.

How much do I need to play? I played all through beta and wouldn't buy the the game - you can now what? get the original and Mines for like 10 bucks? Sounds like quality to me -

I hate to be the one that says I told you so, but I told you so.
 

I told them way back in beta it's never going to work, but what do I know. Oh that's right they are now F2P
Tells you how well they know their customers, now the D&D elitist are going to run over by immature trailer park brats with no money to keep themselves busy in their “store” so they will go around ganking people and making life miserable for everyone that’s left.
 

Turbine pulls out gun, shoots foot.
 

Turbine, look back at the D&D beta boards, user name is the same – I told exactly this – and with your stupid LotRO online game to – exactly the same thing hanging on by a thread thanks to the Tolkien die hards, take his great name out and it wasn’t even a good try. Wasn’t even close to being the WoW killer you thought it was going to be.
 

This is what happens when you let businessmen run your gaming company.

this looks close to the mark. I agree that quest EXP could be a big bummer. Forced grouping in any way will make or break a game for me. I hate elites and quests that require a group to finish, I love that you can group, I just don't want to be forced into it.

73K a year is crap. Now they do say that its Average Game industry Salary, so all the support people are probably bringing it down a bit. Still though, I made that much fixing PC's.

Your bosses ought to be ashamed of themselves. :)

I agree to an extent. They shouldn't be punished or anything for trying to make the game better. Very few people have played this game longer than me, and I still think there are several things I would change. For one I'd change all the darn text you have to read in the game. I need pictures, in crayon please!

This game is still pretty fun, but at high levels gets pretty boring. They need to add some special missions at 40 plus. Good move and keep them coming!

Permadeath is dumb as most games stand right now. You can die way to easy and I really hated having to get  5 or 6 friends together just to get my body back. SIngle biggest reason I quit EQ 1 all those years ago. Too much interaction between players isn't all that and a bag of chips. No offense, but most of you aren't nice people and I don't care to talk to most of you! :)  ( no worries I think it' more of an age difference thing than anyone really not liking anyone else.)

Permadeath games? Have fun but they certainly won't get any of my money.

Say what you want this title is taking forever. Very few updates and what looks to be very little progress. Just updating the site once in a while would be cool.
