Make everyone on Lama VIP?

[droid327]

I rolled a new Wizard to test out some PM changes and builds. It worked great and I think I got some good info to share, but it really stood out how annoying it is to have to go through NH before you get to E/R, and can start actually testing builds at a difficulty that means something.

Yes, I know you can import a Live character that's 3+ life and have full access....but that involves a lot of other hassles than rolling up a new one, especially if you're not testing the same build you play on Live. You have to finish leveling them if they're currently not ready to TR. You have to go through the whole TR process, log out, log in. Mess around with your cache, potentially. Its just time wasted before you can actually start testing.

It seems like - since everything's essentially free on Lama anyway, and your Lama account is insulated from your Live account - that everyone could simply be flagged as VIP status, thereby granting them immediate Elite access even on freshly-rolled characters. I think that would help facilitate quicker and easier testing and get more useful results.

you can also buy these Elite Difficulty Unlock thingies from the DDO Store.

Ah thanks...I did not know those even existed

That'd be an absolute noob trap on Live lol - but useful on Lama at least
