no, I don't mean for a refund.
I have played many computer games since leaving Khyber, some MMOs among them, but nothing has quite measured up to DDO. Perhaps this is because it was my first MMO. Regardless, before I download and install the Turbine launcher I must ask the best critics of DDO if it is worth playing again.

Is the game still fun?
and are the two expansion packs worth purchasing and exploring?

Permadeath is always fun! 

The game itself really hasn't changed.  The combat system, quest system, and UI are all the same.  If you enjoyed those before you will do so again.  Depending on how long you have been away, there is new content to explore.  If it's been a year or more, there's some stuff to do.  Lots of players I know play for a few months or so every year.  They let the new content build up and then play for 3-4 months and then take a break.  Treat DDO like Assassin's Creed or any other game that issues a new version every year.  Play it for a while, then play something else while the devs make some more content. 

Yes the game is still fun.

The first expansion is about a pimp who does nothing and two chicks,
one light one dark fighting over a weave. Like the ghetto, only in pixels.

There is a bug where you can kill elminster in the portal opens.

Have fun


also, I still like the game and have fun.

hope this is not whats getting fixed!!

In reference to OP, I love Post U19. Yes balance isn't perfect, and some builds dominate end game. Some things don't change, Pen and Paper had the same issues, the more you add the harder it is to balance. Play to have fun.

I play non-cookie cutter builds and do just fine in EE (epic elite) content. Skill makes up for a lot, builds sometimes allow people to enjoy the game with less skill. Who cares. Its a game - play to have fun.

Cool new slayer zones, cool new quests, and finally a few raids. Sadly the game is missing raids to occupy hard core raiders and a few hours of coding and making old raids epic with epic loot and allow old crap to be upgradeable would fix the stagnation of the raid scene.

Enhancements is the major change since you stopped playing. Multi-class is very viable for many builds unlike years ago. Also lots of shortcuts have been added to avoid stuff like grinding exp or waiting 3 days to repeat a raid (both cost money or skillz) and permanent quest exp decay resets some every day. In general the game is faster now.
