One of those random things I run across:

There is one aspect of VIP that I miss. It surprised me but in the 2 years that I've been playing DDO, I've gotten better at it and as a result, normal difficulty is not longer much of a challenge. But as a premium, I can't open on hard or elite unless I've run the quest before with that character (or pay to open on a higher level with TP). Everything else I can either buy with a one-time pay-out of TP or I don't really miss.
.....

This was my issue as well. I like you found no benefit in staying VIP so let it drop and used all accumulated TP's to basically buy everything in the game (except WF race as i have never played them or wanted to play them). On my main which is a multi TR everything is open on elite, but... those other new chars I experiment with... yeah only normal is a pain and i lost the interest in running N,H,E many years ago.
Not that I play anymore but it is interesting seeing your observations basically mirroring mine

As I stated long ago. The breakpoint is if you are a longtime player or a short time.

If your normal method is to only play an MMO for maybe a year or so then jump to the next one, VIP is the more cost effective way. If you will play an MMO for years, then buying content is the way to go once you know what content you want to try.

Turbine always fubared this. They should allow guest passes to be purchased and used by anyone. Not just by people that have the content to give to others. Spending "money" on strangers in game? We, gamers, for the most part just don't do that really. It isn't part of our normal rl culture either. Games are not a "need" after all.

Made the mistake (again) of stopping by the Hobbit forum on my way to my fave fishing hole.


I find it hard to believe that people there can be so crass and asinine to reply to a thread about a player dying in a car wreck with 'good riddance,' & 'can i have his account' kind of replies.

That's what PvP does to people. That's why I will stand against it every chance I get.

I better stop there before I mess up and type what I'm *really* thinking.

*Sigh...

I hear ya brother...

It's stuff like that reminds me that the DDO players are a different breed.
I don't know that it's PvP that does that, as much as just a lack of a team atmosphere.

Jackasses hiding behind a supposed immunity of anonymity.

I try to only post something that I'd be willing to say to the face of someone else. I'm not certain how well I succeed but such has kept me from hitting "post" many a time.

At my monitor, I assure the words flow freely.

First week of youngest's internship. went out for open house day today and toured the sections that work with the kids.

Best part of the trip was the walk thru the basement guts of the building on the way to the laundry facility. Narrow, low, lot of cross hallways, several sections of rough-cut brick walls... If only the electricity had gone out.

I managed to sneak a pic while there weren't any other folks behind me.

On the way home, saw the Blue Angels practicing downtown so headed that way and got to see a few fly-overs and practice routines.

Daughter enjoyed that.

Yeah, that looks on the creepy side. Which makes it perfect for a Doctor Who episode.

Not exactly the direction I was going with that - but I can see that, too.

Considering Ep 1 of Ecolson...




Me, I just finished up with some coding. Felt good as it has been a long while since I've done so at home for.... well, work really. Some of the processes have ticked me off for the last time so I'm building up some tools to handle this little issue. But I'm doing it on my own, for myself, because I'm tired of it.
