A step in the right direction, but I hope they find a way to make this permanent.

The current business model is one of the big things severely holding this game back, DDO will never be good with this shit 2006 freemium strategy.


Pro-paladin-move:  Make a shit-ton of free accounts, get coupon on them before Aug 31st, distribute on reddit.com/r/ddo to new players or people wanting to join the game but missed out on the coupon.  Maybe, I dunno, restart Citadel as your personal army or something.

Sorry if this was a bit harsh, it just made me cringe and I posted before taking 10 deep cocks.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

Having bought MOTU, SC (Collectors) and most map packs I guess my account is now worth 99 points plus a coupon.

Technomage was spot on with the $1 valuation!

That joke is lost on me sorry. I do not bother with that moron since like...ah yea, since like he introduced all those engineering ideas that were thrown out  back in 1950 for being inefficient (unless you have an entire government + army to do your dirty work and are willing to outsource toxic jobs to 3rd world countries).

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.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? 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.

Hey, cheer up dude...or shemale. I am pretty sure ssg will drive up the prices of races, classes and iconics in the future. So those will be worth more for you.  Smiley

So, uh, basically all content will be purchasable by a single coupon? What does all this wierd SSG monologue mean?


Probably they want to make this a cupon to let you pucharse all the content for a discount, to force new players to do it when the free content finishes, because if they did nothing they wouldn't buy anything.

It seems the announcement as *free* questing cupon is misleading, in the sense people are thinking they'll get the stuff for free. But it's the cupon to get the stuff that seems to be free.

BTW if this is not permanent, I see an oppotunity to make a lot of accounts to get the ticket and sell them later. And if it is permanent, than the cupon makes no sense, they should simply make the content free (or permanentely sell the full non-expansion content all togheter in a package for the price of what would be with the cupon if the idea was a discount instead of jsut making all free).

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

My guess is game shuts down August 31st, 2020

My guess is SSG is trying to sell the game and inflating the player numbers with all the new accounts that people will be making will be used to show the game has life.
