This is what it feels like to play DDO.

I think there's supposed to be a couple of lines in there where they changed them to soy cookies, because, well, one of the devs is on a diet, and forgot what it's like to eat chocolate chip cookies.



Maybe not, yours was pretty good as is!

Cute, but not quite.

Playing DDO is watching the rule set that ties DDO to D&D slowly wither. Sure, you have a lot of the elements that define the D&D brand like mind flayers, beholders, but this isn't D&D.

Playing DDO is watching Devs dance behind the shield of the D&D brand while they gut it to shove in combat systems that any given Siembieda could have crapped out between Wilson Phillips videos in 1991.

Playing DDO is watching advertisements for Flesh Render beanie babies while the game loads.

Heck, if I get enough TP I can eventually collect all of the beanie babies. I gotta catch 'em all! Oh wait! I think I have a better name for the game.

Forget DDO, how about BBO? Beanie babies online?

I'm sure they'll be worth something in a few years, right?
