Worse the timeline that DDO was placed in creates the possibility that the truly popular IP attached to FR will be unavailable for future DDO content.

That means even more of the sales will depend upon the quality of the work. That makes selling future expansion harder for DDO management to WB.

Turbine needs another big shot at capturing an influx of players and that means an expansion because updates do not draw the attention needed to pull that off.
Youre telling us that epic gianthold isnt going to pull people in like FR did? I know more people who wanted epic gianthold than FR, even though most admit the expansion was mostly good.
