Not likely. Fat jerry is way too busy infracting people for swearing to read a text wall like that.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	I think they are reading too much into a SSG product, its extremely unlikely that they actually put in some actual secrets. They are too busy rushing out expansions for the sweet sweet cash, that and making shitty pet projects like badly balanced archetypes. There are also old quests like "And the Dead Shall Rise", where you can use turn undead to get Tears of Dol Arrah, but theres no secret, its just a shitty unfinished mechanic.

	Only secret any of the devs has to share is "dick tastes yummy."

	Jerry will respond if someone reports but I doubt he reads all the posts. Officially I am sure data mining is a big no no, but it seems the Dev team just do not really care anymore. And then the dumb fuck who reports Reaper reenters.

Didn't the devs come right out and say "the dark secret is just an artifact of an abandoned project"? I could swear there was some comment about that a while back.

	He probably just decoded the sound files and is sifting through them. There are around 28k files. You can't really screw around with those.

Find the DATUnpacker ( useful for both DDO and LoTRO ) then it's DAT_UNPACKER Sound.dat 01 and you end up with a whole bunch of wav files.... The difficult part is finding the right ones, but if it's a recent sound it will probably towards the end of the list.

	Yep, there is even a guide on the LotRo forum how to use it. It is fun so far. That Titus guy posted it on twitch. No idea which one though. PS: Kyrrehk possibly.

	Anyone have a link to the latest version of the DAT_UNPACKER tool. The version I found was 1.3.2 from 2012. There's got to be a more recent version than that one.

	There is a recent upacker for Farcry. It might work for DDO. But since the 2012 works I didn't experiment with others. It is too much work though. I wait till somebody else finds interesting files and leech off them.

If you need a code sample I could toss something together tomorrow.
