I AM NOT COMPLAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Wow, there is a lot. I mean A LOT of new to DDO and Unguilded people wandering around the Harbor. Korthos, the Harbor and the Marketplace has recently seen a huge population spike here over the past week. Its amazing? What on earth as brought this sudden surge on??

Another game close down??

Sudden unseen advertising campaign that veteran players would be blissfully unaware of??

They send free copies of the disk to Everyone??

They start putting a free 30 day trial disk in the inside of the back cover of the new core 4.0 Players Handbook?

What happened? Is it only on Thelanis? These people are completely new? I'm not seeing much new blood on the forums? The game is really active. I'm really excited about it. Everyone be on your best behavior!!!! Remember: Manners! Manners! Manners!

I'm 19037, and that's what I think.

I noticed there were a good number of people wandering the snow side of Korthos.. a sure sign they haven't completed Misery's Peak on any character yet...

Right, but the next character can - my point was these are all either new or returning people, since they aren't skipping the tutorial.

I've noticed the same thing - the last few days I've been trying to level my lowbies and haven't found a group yet that didn't have at least 2 new people to the game. It is kinda refreshing to go through a dungeon someone else may not have memorized and to see/hear their reactions when BAM! they walk head-long into a blade trap because the rogue is still learning how to be a rogue. It takes me back!
