And i have to say sadly, It's not for me.
I find that the game is devoid of autmosphere. Sure, i can play any of the races they give me and adventure, but it dosn't feel like d&d.
Sure. It has the title and all, thats about it.
I had started a rogue (As in thief, not red) and tried the various starter dungeons. I managed to get to level 2 fairly easily, but i missed the grouping aspect of the game, the cities were devoid of players and the people i did meet tended to ignore others (with the exception of the person who invited me into a group with out even introducing themselves)
I remeber one of my d&d campigne's. Us the bold successful adventueres (we'd cleaned up some kobolds that were raiding some farm, got about 50 gold from it, back in the day of first edition and farmers didn't make 50gp a week) We were having an ale, when a dark hooded huminoid came up to us, and tossed a dirty scroll on the table and left. Being brave adventurers that we were, we imeddiatly fought for the privlige of opening and reading the scroll (Woe to us if it had of been trapped) Was it a treasure map? nah. A letter from some guy who inherited one of those proverbial houses from a long dead uncle and was up to his neck in undead. It needed cleaning out, but he was way and unable to do it, Hence the man servant.

In DDO everyone waits in thier neat little spots, with a cup above thier head, indicating that they have a job for you, It's up to you to goto them, the adventure itself can be chosen as a solo adventure, normal, hard (normal and hard are ment for groups, but i'm sure a well equipped twink can handle it) and off you go to handle the adventure. The dungeon master voice in the background was a neat touch, but the game itself felt exactly like it did in beta. (With less lag, or is it because i have a better computer now) The loot i recieved for said adventures was roughly what was expected and nothing ever made me go wow. Or hey even.

So, I'm going to cross this one off my list for now (Even though turbine has introduced a neat price for thier anniversary 9.99 a month if you buy in 6 month chunks) I'll check on it in a year or so, and see if it's gotten any better. On to Ac, And to see what new surprises it's brought out.
