	Past time to cut ddo servers in half

	A half-dozen boss Vaulties donated generously with real money to my classroom during a fundraiser in May 2015 to get poor kids books to read. I won't forget that. They know who they are, and they freaking rule. Disavowed wrote on Apr 19^th, 2016 at 1:51pm: Once you meat your personal goal you might want to give that some consideration.

You would label the simple act of taking a shit as someone obeying the divine law of nature to leave a proof of existence.

It likely won't happen, as it would be "too hard" for the DDO team because of "complicated stuff" and "things".....

	So simple question related to this. Say I had an account on G-Land and I was tired of the world crashing more than other worlds. Is there a way I could transfer all my toons to Khyber?

	has anyone ever published an emo long form journo piece about the birth, life, and eventual slow death of most MMO's with an apt metaphor to a human aging and decline? Does DDO have Alzheimer's yet?

	Wow, the closing list is so big and the remaining open list is so small I guess Fernando's business model finally caught up with him, I wonder if this will get enough attention at WB to demand change?

	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.

	Someone asked Jerry about a server merger during his live stream this past Wednesday. I don't recall the exact words he said, but it didn't sound like a server merger was going to happen any time soon. It certainly didn't sound like it would happen along with lotro's.

No, it won't happen because "it's complicated".

They're my friends because I hang around them like a faithful dog and pick up scraps of comments I hear and then feed them to you so I can sound all important like. There's no way they'd tell me something silly like it can't be done." Truth be known, if it's inside a computer, then anything can be done because it's just 1s and 0s. That's the nature of computers. Programmable. DDO is like the original MS DOS. They just kept adding to it and never really gave it a redesign and it never really utilised the power of (even) a 286 or later because it was full of workarounds to compensate for newer technology. But it's not their fault really. People keep wanting new content. Just like people kept wanting new features and Microsoft put Windows95 on top of their shitty OS.

	Vaultaccount wrote on Aug 29^th, 2016 at 7:06pm: The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics. Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School? No? Then STFU you fucking amateur. Meat-Head wrote on Jul 29^th, 2015 at 12:03am: Thx.

Holy fuck, everything really is too hard for these half-wits. At this point I really wouldn't be surprised to find out the only programming the devs know is cut and paste.

The problem is guilds and guild airships. It's not as simple as "move your character". They have people who spent real world $$ on ass sharts for their boat and amenities. People worked for years to level their guild. Bought guild renown elixirs. Spent hours exploiting in the Orchard. You can't just say "Oh well. Join a guild over on the new server. Or start over with your guild from level 1." Sure there are ways to fix all of the above. But it's not as easy as giving a transfer coupon out. That's overly simplistic and naive.

	Their transfer system is also garbage. I've tried server transfer request on multiple toons on same and different accounts and they usually fail with a message "transfers can not be completed at this time (or any time in the future), we'll let you know if this changes". Until they fix that it is a useless option for myself and some others I've known that have had it happen.
