It's the "holiday season" Steam, Epic games and others are awash with deals & freebies.
Other game companies are capitalizing on a recovering locked down world. Where gpu scalpers all but ruined the hardware side of things.
I for 1 have downloadrd 7 games for a total out of pocket cost of $29.00 (Eldin Ring) all other games were free.
That's right, free.
Granted almost all of them have some sort of paywall., That's ok.
Let's put a value on our own VIP subscription and how SSG is not making new friends.
Up until now, I have paid my monthly or 3X monthly, I love DDO, I gladly support the game. But now with all the sales, I found only 1 with a substantial subsequent additional purchase. And that is for an entire add-on (adventure pack)

Jan 2023 we get a side note for weekly restarts that the daily gold rolls are ending. As mentioned in other threads, that is low blow to the people paying the bills for SSG (ie US)
A little more communication on replacing them would be appropriate. but no. We got nothing from staff.
Like most long term players here, I own almost everything (ty for the free quest code btw)
That being said, I get decent value for my monthly subscription. Even without the daily rolls.

I server hop every day, and have amassed some nifty items, (3 mounts, 4 +8 tomes & a BUNCH of skill tomes) I was hoping to get one toon with enough shinies to make it worthwhile to pay for a transfer. (that ship has sailed now)
So, do I spend $14.95 to get the other game's expansion, or re-up my sub.?
SSG, are we to wait until Feb for next producer's letter with a new perk we won't see until March?
The player base has put up with a lot of negative stuff, but we stand by you.
I won't list the negatives, not my point. Rather I'm leveraging those against retaining me as paying customer.
None of the other games I just downloaded can replace DDO, I know that. That's why we are ALL still here.
Give us a reason to support you in 2023. Bring back the daily gold roll. fix your bugs and get back on discord or here. (enough hiding)
