Goodbye DDO!

[pask88]

After almost three years that's it for me. Not enough new content and more importantly, not enough information about module 9 that never seems to be ready. Almost all of my friends are also leaving.

Bye! Bye!

well well i have to say 1 month does NOT equal 3 years

[Dark_Helmet]

..don't care.

[Hokiewa]

Lmao, forum date does not = join date.

[pask88]

Been playing three years.

Been posting in this forum for a few months, hoping to get answers from my questions to the Devs. Never happened.

Anyway, bye all! DDO WAS fun for three years. It's already an exploit for a MMO. It has so much potential, too bad..

[parvo]

Heaven forbid someone play DDO without posting 7.46 times per day :rolleyes:

Oh....and Try Permadeath before you quit. :)

Yes, because everyone knows that the join date for the forums is always reflective of how long one has been playing the game.

Also try role-playing!!! ;) (Which is the same thing as Permadeath but with more girls or guys pretending to be girls!)

And Permazerg!!!! (Which is like Permadeath because you never die if you permazerg properly!!!) :D

Yeah, it's almost believable that some boogie man is out there causing Turbine to stop communication with it's customer base. Funny thing is that would be against business law if it were even remotely true.

Do you like bridges? I'm selling.

And if you belive Turbine would purposefully keep its player base in the dark ... I got this really nice ocean front property in Kansas ... Sell it to ya cheap. :rolleyes:

of course he had to, if he would have just walked quickly under the door he might have been edited out of the show

I'm sure they aren't allowed to discuss mod 9, its a great strategy to keep DDO players paying that much longer...

Goodbye to the OP, I've seen the light as well, and will now only be paying for a month or two at the most after each mod. No point in paying when there's no content to play. And if mod 9 never comes, well at least I won't be out any more money.

Its called a NDA, its quite frequent in the business world. Now I do not know if that is the reason for the complete silence, but it is possible. I have had to sign an NDA at a company in the past where I could say nothing to any of our customers, no matter what the customers said or did.

I'm a founder dangit, and never got the title because I didn't join the forums early enough. My bad :( :( :(
But now I have this cool tag :) :) :)

Another PAYER (player) gone is one step closer to game not being profitable. One step closer to being gone for good. Whether he/she has been here since beta or one month. Turbine put out mod 10 while u fix whatever is holding up 9!!!

[Stormanne]

And by the by, if the hold up is due to differences with the holder of the license, then total info black out would be in order. The product is a licensed property, and since Atari holds the license and not Turbine, if there is a problem between them, then Turbine would, by contractual law, have to stay quiet about developed progress. Speaking up about any of the things that they have made, or going ahead and releasing the mod would be a breach of contract with the license holder and be grounds for the immediate shut down of the game.

And, has anyone stopped to think that maybe the hold up is Turbine trying to completely circumvent the need for Atari and has possibly approached WotC and are trying to get licensed directly?

I have wondered about scenarios like that. The only problem is (and here I am wildly speculating on the terms of contracts I couldn't possibly know anything about) that Atari probably has the exclusive rights to D&D video games for some number of years. Even if Turbine and WotC were to come to some direct agreement, they couldn't cut Atari out of the equation without some serious potential liability. My wild-ass guessing does lead me to think that it could be a license issue, though. :D

[SockMonkey]

"...I dont care" .... Well you may want to start. With people who are leaving EVERY day, who is going to be left to play when ******** gets off thier asses and does somthing about the exodus?

As it is June 1st and I gave them a month to at least TELL us why nothing is being done, Im gone too.

Nope cant have my stuff.

Other than a release date and why there is a hold up (both a "turbine can't" not won't thing). What else do you need to know? The lamania release notes pretty much covered the changes and additions for mod 9.

well here are some reflections that I've had in the past few weeks of pure and utter frustration. I have played since the beginning of live servers and even took a few months off last year hoping to refresh myself to the game and come back. I left with a few friends to another MMO and we came back in March to the grand 'ole promise of yet another module that is still not here. I not here to tell anyone how to run their business, but when I tell one of my customers that I will have their product ready within a given timeframe I have to deliver or they take their business elsewhere. So it seems to be the issue here as 3 of my DDO buddies left after last night and are not planning on a return even if mod 9 does come out. The boards are dry, the groups are strange without the usuall high level GOOD players that we once had, and the game is becoming more monotonous than ever. I miss the good old days (cue music and flashback sequence): when the dragon was a ***** and you had to have a caster hide in a corner and magic missle it to death. when we finally got to level to 12 and it actually took a bit of work. when we got the desert adventure area and were overwhelmed by its sheer massiveness. when i pulled my first paralyzer and talked about it for weeks. when that one guy on the server got a vorpal and you always wanted him in your TS runs to make things faster. when the demon queen actually took a full party. when the gianthold was released and the reaver was proclaimed the best raid ever. when the abbot was released and we busted our asses to get ready only to find it was not completable,.,.lol. when monks were released and we played them for a week before figuring out they were just put into the game to multiclass :). when the tent was shaking for those few weeks and the lag was horrible, but was the coolest damm live experience ever when would were running through and got pwned by random devils. when the tent finally went up in smoke and there were over 30+ instances in the market. when we used to have those live easter egg hunts with random goofy rewards. when whisperdooms spawn was bugged out and giving vorpals and paralyzers for 8 hours, that was funny. when you got your first toon to 1750 favor and it felt like an accomplishment. or that time when you came back to DDO hoping it would be that great game that you left, refreshed, only to find the continueing broken time frames and the same frustrations that made you take a break from it in the first place. Its probably only me, but I would PURCHASE an expantion pack, or higher monthly for at least some form of accountability on timesframes from a game that I love and am about to leave.
Sorry for the rant, but I really think it sucks that my friends left and many more I have talked to are on the fence because they are running out of things to do. Please feel free to add to the list of memorable times, I'm sure they'll make some people smile a bit :)
FYI, as you can tell from my knowledge of the game, the date you joined forums DOES NOT reflect how long you have played!

Maybe maybe not, as I said in my exit survey it would have to be something pretty **** convincing. As it stands I dont know what that would be.

Bottom line is myself like many others are leaving, who may or may not come back and the game is tanking because of it. I really hope Turbomb has some recourse to get money back that they are loosing because of this fiasco.

which would mean they would have to stop allowing access to the game.
No legal reason to withold content, no legal reason to withhold info. I call BS on are assumed theories.
IF they were using copyrighted images then they would say 'copyright issue'.
If they could not allow content due to licensing, then they cannot allow content, game closed.
Much of mod 9 has been released on the test server and in the release notes. Just the dungeons have not been released.

Their is no possible legal rationale to keep quiet or not go and release content. They showed 'concept art' when they should have released content.
Concept = still on drawing board.

Either they are folding or have halted production awaiting word on yea/nay for continuation.

And this works well with why they have been silent. Talk and you are fired.
Happens all the time.

Hope they work it out and I hope they keep their jobs.
