Seriously, I have no idea why any sane person would play this disaster of an MMO.

1. they should have changed what dropped the discs so the people in beta couldnt powerlevel and then control the disc sites as well as cherry pick the best city locations.

2. You level too fast and didnt have enough time to make friends in game to group and guild up with. If you didnt come into the game with a guild or a solid group of friends you were at the mercy of those who raced to 50 so they could kill all the unguilded 20's.

4. While the ui was pretty configurable the icons were too damn small and i dont remember having the ability to hot key various spells or attacks.

5. Having to move via mouseclick ugh

6. Lag and rubberbanding were there wasnt even anyone around.

7. wonderful sb.exe

I imagine if you can ignore all that and everything else that sucked it might not have been too bad.

AD&D is not limited to "just" Adventures.  If you think it is then your DM sucked.  No offense.  Probably one of those "DM's" who just used the pre-packaged modules.

Couldnt read the link because im not a ddo subscriber anymore but i cant see how that game could have any fanbois. I mean even if you had 5 real life friends to play the game with, you run out of missions quick and then it just becomes run the same missions over and over.

I enjoyed the first time running a mission but after that its just boring. Add forced grouping and all too often you end up in a group that has done the mission before even if you havent and just runs it as fast as they can killing the only interesting part of the game lol.

Well didnt play eq2 past the trial period and its been since the $oe announcement that i last saw vanguard but the two struck me as very similar in both look and feel. No idea what eq2 looks or feels like now but i would imagine vanguard changing alot by release in regards to feel.
