I may be behind the times

[ScabWound]

I came across this today as I was bored peeping out some of the new stuff on the forums and it suprises me that the varience for rewards are so broad between US Servers and European servers. Not being the type to whine or get upset over mild inconviences, I was just wanting to know *** are they thinking. I will paste the post that I came across for other to get a look at and decide themselves (O' and the players on european servers thought it funny that players on US servers were upset).

Module 9: The Plane of Battle Live Date
Module 9: The Plane of Battle will be released on the 3rd September 2009 (pending final testing this weekend). Therefore maintenance next week will take place on Thursday 3rd of September from 9am – 3pm (GMT + 1) instead of the normal Tuesday. This is for one week only, maintenance will revert to its usual Tuesday slot for 8th September onwards.

In addition to Module 9’s release we are also pleased to announce loyalty gifts for our players which are a thank you for your patience throughout the extended wait for Module 9 and on-going uncertainty regarding Eberron Unlimited.

The following special gifts will be awarded to all characters which have an active European subscription to Dungeons and Dragons Online in good standing as of 3rd September, 2009.

1x Essence of Cleansing
200 Draconic Runes
1x Single Feat Respec

Please note that these gifts will be awarded as part of the first patch following Module 9.

Finally, some further good news is that we will also be increasing the character creation slots on both Devourer and Keeper to 16 per account on the 3rd September 2009! So if you've wanted to try out some new builds, you'll now be able to with abandon!

We hope you enjoy Module 9!

See you in Stormreach.

To me these items mean little or nothing, other than maybe the 16 creation slots that I will have to pay for to get, though it does open the question as to will the us servers even be able to have, purchase, beg or even borrow to have 16 spots available on our server. That would allow so much experimentation with other build types that I have been deleting capped toons to experiment with and see how they turn out.

As of tomorrow you can get up to 30 slots. Slots beyond 10 will cost about 600 turbine points, and you get 500 free per month, plus up to 3000 free as a gift tomorrow, depending if you played in beta, your start date, etc.

The european servers are run by a seperate company, Codemasters, not Turbine. They are not going free to play, and therefore will not have a ddo store. Therefore there rewards could not be the same as ours, as they would not apply to them. Now, the rewards they are getting are really neat, but frankly it is not the first time they have gotten things we have not. Over the years they have gotten a whole host of items, like different UMD items, items from contests or live events that don't exist here or are very high end like shroud weapons etc. Just something you have to shrug your shoulders at.

So I am behind the times, just started reading the forums in the past couple of months, LoL

when it hits 20 ill be impressed. Till then bah its nothing :P



In truth, like DBR said, eu servers are run by a different company and are not getting DDO-EU as we know it. There has been lots of speculation on their forums that they will shut down soon. Hence the recent transplants that have come here and started getting accts up and running here. God knows I would be upset if I lost my acct but knew lots of peeps playing across the globe. I imagine a lot of the chinese were upset when they lost their servers as well.
