Come play with Fendan, Meowcow, Aldoran, Sinastus, and I on this game. We are on the realm Ghallanda.




DO EET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!

graphics arent as good but its free, and many of the quest are fun.

It's good. Come to the DDO-side.

AHhh thats where you guys is, I've been messing around on cannath.  Won't be a thang to change over tho.

<---Stoguts cuz some imposter stole my name.

Sorry about that.

If someone comes running up to you, asking you why you kept spamming  "Do you has" for party space in LFG, just let them know that it was the other guy.

Look For Malosrojo(duh)    Fendan(duh)    Halvdaen(meowcow)    Vaelen(aldo)    Sinastus(sinastus, akumaknight)

The answer to that is yes.   ALDO----give this woman the info STAT!

Free download, free play.

Oh and our guild is "The Wolverines" of course!

once I get moved in to my new pad I'll give it a whirl I recon. 

I may give this a shot. I haven't been playing much of anything lately.

just play FFXI with us Rand...F these guys

Are there actually people playiing FFXI? If so I'd hop on.

I've never played it, I assume it's available for the PC and not just a console system?

Correct, i have it on PC

yeah right now piquon, gr0n, Okarn and myself are playing....we are considering going back to our old characters on carbuncle but fret not I never levelled my Summoner.

Piquon - Monk
Okarn - BLM
gr0n - RMH
Me - WHM

So to continue our old party we'd just need a war/pal and a thief

How many people can you have in a party?

6

I could roll with a war/pal or a theif. I have a lvl 18 war I think...

DDO totally free?

IT work through a cash shop apparatus or something?

You can buy stuff for yoru character.  And you can buy classes, and races etc etc.  I may try out one sometime.  I actually like the combat in it, more of fps style.

i was going to, and then saw that it was a 2.8 GB download..............
so...hm

This is actually a pretty good game.

Diablo meets NWN

Red is making me play FFXI so I can't join you :(

I will download it and try it out anyway though.

I think Red needs to keep the FFXI in its thread and since he attempted to hijack my thread he should give DDO a good long try

I can shit up any thread I want....it's my right....and DDO sucked :P

it's ok   i took a deuce in the FFXI thread for ya nad DDO doesn't suck. It is actually a very good representation of 3.0 and 3.5 rulesets and converted into a visual game very well

yeah we'll 3.0/3.5 is for noobs.....4th EDITION FOR LIFE!

4th ED kinda blows---i mean a cleric is a glorofied fighter for petes sake

they need to make 3.75- a combination of 3.5 and 4     and not where clerics can be tanks

i did like the idea of the special abilities but some of them need to be tuned down a bit

DDO is actually a pretty good game.

what she said

I'll give this a try when I get back to the States and get internet again.

ok, i've got the game
made a toon

Ellareya -Elf Healy Cleric...

I think that since most folks are about 4-5 now, we should look at getting some irestone runs in

done it a few times  it's a good instance. GUD lewts and decently hard fights

I cast Maggic Missle at the darkness

can you pass the cheetos

I almost spit my Mt.Dew all over the keyboard. Had I done so I would cease to exist because that would be keyboard #2 that belongs to Meowcow's wife that I killed. But I refrained from spitting, so I shall continue to exist.

nah she wouldnt kill you, you still have uses, maim, dismember, stop making cookies for you definately.

wait... where are the cookies?

the cookies are in central IL in a blackhole known as Danville. If you come visit I will make her bake

Mmmm cookies. They're so good and homemade from scratch, gooey Chocolate Chip, nummy Oatmeal Raisin, or the Ultimate Peanut Butter, Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip, and Raisin cookies.

Back on subject, I'll just leave this here...

the guy in the bar who can't get laid reminds me of Aldo.  Just sayin

Look at this little gem I picked up at the market for 150,000

(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae353/ealabor2/armor1.jpg)


That's medium armor.

So i'm going to roll a Drow Wiz for this.

He'll get the dex bonus making it 14 armor total, for the piece, so that's 24 ac there

Then add in the mage spell shield, will make it 28. And ghostly visage which will make mobs miss 50% of the time, this dude will be a savage.

Spell failure will just be 5% after racial enhancements

can i haz 1

Does the Shield spell stack with armor? I know in Paper and Pencil AD&D it wouldnb't, besides the fact that wizards don't wear armor...

Yeah, I believe ive already tried it on one of the toons.

The spell registers for purposes of an actual shield, which stacks with armor.

I seen today that deflection stacks with armor as well, so with that, the armor and spell i'll easily be over 30 AC

Made Scouser (rog) and Denziel (ranger/rog). Got Denz tagged a Wolverine last night. All this feat stuff is a bit tricky.

ok made me a ranger Arcticca will make either a bard or a rog later

Cool, another person that I'll probably never see online hehe.

ha saw you today, I wont play much during the week with but i have 3 day weekends.

a bard? really arc.... a  bard?

I has a bard named Paann the Man

if arc made a bard no one would understand his songs because his grammer is so bad. just saying

who needs lyrics

so I am downloading it for the hell of it, it's been 15 minutes already, and I STILL have 30 minutes left on the hires download. Sheesh.... 45 minutes to download a game wtf?

Amen brother, rock out them power chords!

I would join and make a rouge but they upset me.  They cant use pollarms so can't weeld a spare but they can use throughing weapons so can use throughing spares.... stupid rouges.

ok here a limrick for some of you

Hickory dikory dock
all you that think your better then me
can just go suck my cock


Bard was kinda intresting to say the least

character created Samaela.. I need to figure out how to work that game tho. Nice graphics, and it using Dx10 thats cool

hehe

Ok is there a way to look online to see guilds?  I tried looking up the wolverines online but it doesn't show anything.

I've got a level 4 warrior Vanshen if ya'll are still playing.

Toff Thrun, About to hit level two.  Fighter multi classing in to barbarian.  I am going to make a duel wielding, dumb as a bag of hammers death machine. 

And what kind of character are you playing?

ZING!, HEYOO! +!

I haven't been on i a few days but if i can get a consensus of we ppl who need invites for the guild will be on I'll try to be accommodating. Look for Fendan or Stalkingwolf those are my 2 toons. 

kool.

I'll keep an eye out for you two

I should be on today/ tonight with Arcticca, had enough free points to buy lvl 4-8 so im keeping the ranger

Buy 4-8? I got my sigil as a quest reward in the Harbor.

Still, if luck is not on your side, godspeed to the DDOStore.

They have added the 32 point character builds to the DDO store now.

Also, if you have 1000 favor, you have the option to start at level 4 when making new characters

Got my computer all set up, so I might start a character on DDO sometime. What's up with the micro-payment thing, though? What's the conversion ratio for USD:DDO points?

not enough to worry about  just  pay the $15 a mouth and get the 500 points every month, 10 character slots and free content and warforged race.

Or you can pay $0 and work up your reputation and get all of that for free.

This

true but from what i was reading you almost have to make a toon on every server to do it

No, you build up rep on a single character.

So, what kind of build is the DDO group lacking?

night that takes forever. if i have to wait on content i might aswell play wow

Not really.

This aint anywhere near grinding levels of WoW, which is a played out game.

OK my 2 cents worth and i asked people who have been playing a while.  If you pay the monthly fee get all this cool shit then maybe not want to play that much or the monthly fee you lose all the content and stuff you received, now with the free account, while if you grind rep, maybe buy a few things, there attached to the account permanently.

not fully true. you do lose access to some stuff. but not all, there are 3 levels of the game  the free account the vip account and the one in between  cant remember what its called. Now if you cancel vip you drop down to the second level which still has 4 character slots  and a couple of other things plus you would still have the 500 points  that you got every month from having been a vip  to spend still seen as how there isnt really that much thats practical to spend them on unless you had to have a favored soul or something. Anyway i was only  putting the idea out there for people that didnt feel like doing rep grinds all over again.
On a side note there are  certain rep grinds that  you should do for the bonus items that you get from them

Rep grinds aren't anything like WoW.

You get the rep when you are leveling up, while doing quests for gear and gold.  Whereas with WoW you are doing that shit at your max level, doing ignorant shit like picking berry bushes and shit.

which is different from DDO in that no one played it so they made it free :P  SUITE

People mostly bought into Blizzard hype and hysteria, which has made it successful. If Blizzard had made DDO, and WoC/Atari made WoW, it would be a different situation no question.

They buy into the Blizzard hysteria, which in turn enables gives them more revenues to enhance their product. Self perpetuating process.

Granted Blizzard can, and has put out some good merchandise, but if you take off the love goggles, you will see that many games are far superior in graphics and content, as compared to WoW's cartoon, Baskin Robbins graphics.

It's this hysteria that everyone has bought into, which everyone is playing, and this keeps it's people in locked in mental stasis.

I mean damn, take a minute to reflect the overview of the game. People spend hours a day clicking on berry bushes and literally sifting through dung for quests to build up "reputation", and for materials for a raid that may fail or not even happen at all. Really the only reputation being built here is the player's gullability to Blizzard, which is farming millions of people.

90% preparation vs 10% experience.

Whereas a game like Planetside is completely opposite, 10% / 90%  but has had the misfortune of not being published under a monster like Blizzard. And despite not having had the luxury of such a brand name and it's followers, the game would have been much more successful if SoE had at least lifted its ass up to work on it every now and then.

Reflecting on WoW, its amazing that I played as long as I did, though only contributed to a just over par PVP system. It's really annoying that gear was the critical factor there, and the targeting combat system ignorant.

Just sayin'

damn Night  we aren't meant to agree. but the last post is spot on

I took nights advice and went outside

Outside is dangerous there is a real world with real people out there

DDO gave me 1111 turbine points for being a veteran.

edit: I have now made a Human Paladin to check the game with. Still learning the controls.
