OK. But I am still confused, you still get to play right? Your not actually paying not to play then. You are just skipping the boring ass quests you've done hundreds of fucking times, so you can do the high level quests faster? Does this mean if you like buy Iconics your paying not to play too then?


Yes. No. Yes. Yes, by that logic.

It's "a certain point of view." I don't share it, but I understand the logic.

lvl 20 + stone = lvl 25. 
Put on a decent set of equipment for lvl 25. 
Change 1-2 items thereafter as you level to 28 then epic reincarnate. 
Repeat.

So how does this work anyway. I have never used a stone before. When you use one does it like kick you from the game and lock you out for a week or something?

Yeah, when you use one, it temporarily changes your password. The next time you log out, they send your account username, the temporary password, and which character used the stone to the warden at a Chinese prison for political prisoners. Then some poor schmuck with the audacity to point out corruption in the Chinese government has to play your character until they earn you 2 million XP. 

When they are done, your password gets set back to what it was and you can log in again.

It's usually less than a week, but some times it's longer than others because sometimes the prisoner passes out from the beating he's also getting. If you want to be a real bastard, use the stone on a con-dumped drow barbarian, that poor bastard can be grinding for like 2 weeks.

They thought about using a script to assign XP directly to the character, but that involved too much database programming, so they scrapped it and went with the forced labor scenario.

So yeah, you're literally paying to not play.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.
