BEST GAME EVER!!!! Okay it has it's downsides of course, BUT the complexity, replay-ability, and customization for your character is just incredible. You can be up to three classes and if you have the ability "use magic device" you can read scrolls and use wands to cast spells you don't have access to. So my character can resurrect the dead for example even if i am not a cleric of any kind. You continue to get to cap and then start over with the same character but additional abilities from the previous class. I always say it's like going from Gandalf the Grey to Gandalf the White in Lord of the Rings except you do it hundreds of times. Level 20 grants you a heroic past life and hitting level 30 grants you an epic past life which can be used on your next life. It's a really great game. The lag kind of sucks but they just did new 64 bit servers which are helping a whole lot with lag. It's still a bit rough while everyone is transferring characters from old servers but even with the lag I keep coming back. I'm at over 2000 hours played and can't put it down! I played EQ, EQ2, and WoW ... personally this blows them all out of the water. The experience is per quest not per mob killed which is also different. So folks have a lot of fun finding ways to do the quests in record time. You can go to wilderness area's which have slayers so you get experience when you kill 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and so on mobs up to 7500. It is instance based too so no dealing with trains to the zone line from random players. Lots of raids and new expansion releases August 9, 2025. You def want to get the VIP subscription at first for a lot of additional content. It gives you all the expansion packs NOT the big expansions those are their own thing.

👎 Get rid of the currency caps. As a Level 1 to 3 player, I lost soooooo much gold just from doing Daily Dice and doing a few Quests on Normal, Hard, and Elite difficulties. There should be no currency cap, period. I don't care if the cap increases as my level increases. I refuse to play a game this infuriating.

👎 Bank space is so limited. Only 20 slots. Can't unlock any more than that unless you pay real money or get your reputation high enough. The max player level is Level 30, and to get your reputation high enough you need to be around Level 15. RuneScape had around 400 Bank inventory slots, but this game only gives us 20? It is not even worth running the 15 miles to get to the Bank in the first place.

If it weren't for these two things, I would play and enjoy the game. But these two annoying features have been around for 20 years. Also, they updated their servers from 32-bit to 64-bit, forcing us to go through a bunch of crap to migrate our inventory but never once did they mention anything good about the 64-bit servers except better performance? I wasn't experiencing any lag or bad performance to begin with, so how does this benefit me? If they mentioned that a 64-bit server could make it so we don't need currency caps and could get more bank space, I would have kept the game installed. But seeing how this pile of trash just wants to remain trash and an incessant cash grab, I uninstalled it and will never look back.

UPDATE: I saw in a different thread that they increased the storage space in the bank from 20 to 80. But I still hate the currency cap. Also, why can we put random collectibles in bags, but we can't put potions in bags? There must be 100 types of potions in this game.

For those ready to sign their life away!

My DDO account is pretty old. I have a retail box edition of the game from back when it launched before Steam and before SSG took over. Over the years, my characters have just gone *poof* at least once.

Parked it back then and didn't touch it, until...

I saw our characters needed to be ported to the new x64 servers. Ok, reinstalled, logged in, character gone. Checked other realms/servers, nothing. I stopped playing/supporting this company's games, but I should still be able to park my character and even port him to the new servers on a F2P game (which I have spent money on in the past).

Submitted a support ticket, days have gone by, crickets. Given this and how my purchased content from LOTRO worked out (it didn't), I can't recommend anything by these guys. I wish I could, because I do enjoy both of these franchises and if I had more confidence in these products, I would support them, but you can't do this. You can't delete characters on a whim, ignore support requests and even tell people "sorry bruh" when they tell you they bought something directly associated with the thing you are supporting today, regardless if you were the original seller or not. There's is LITERALLY zero loss for them to honor previously purchased content. Enabling digital content is a checkbox in a database. Want to make money, shocker, make new content people actually want. There's no good excuse to jack content from people who paid for it.

I'm guessing if SSG changed their approach to content and made real attempts to win back people like me, they might be surprised how many of us wouldn't just come back as F2P only, but would actually spend money on in-game stuff. If the stuff is quality and the amount is fair. You should sell lifetime subs (like STO, I know both did at one point) or do like DCUO did with lifetime subs, you also get access to every single other game under their banner (Planetfall 2, Everquest, etc). Trying to charge $15 a month is insane for games that are 2 decades old. I would love to see these games go full on Guild Wars and just drop the subs and just let everyone buy expansions.

I have never played this before? I am not sure why it says I have played for 3 hours but I suppose I must've either enjoyed it, or gotten stuck for those 3 hours and cried for help until the game ultimately crashed. I know nothing of D&D but this is free so play it if you like dragons in the dungeon

Used to enjoy this game long ago. Now it lags so badly that it becomes unplayable for minutes at a time.

Fun game

This is an absolutely amazing game that has held up for nearly 20 years. I can't think of many MMOs that you can compare it too when it comes to its style of combat, player customization and so many other things. On the other hand though the Dev team will push out products that aren't fully tested out and SSG will dance around major issues that make the game hard to play, but they'll make sure to distract you with limited time specials.

needs a graphics overhaul something fierce but still a ok game also maybe make all classes and races free now the game has been out long enough that I doubt its servers are that packed any more I was playing the game since February 28, 2006 day 1 of its existence for those who do not know so the game looking like a product of its time is hard on the eyes that adjusted for 1080p or higher graphics but over all still a good game and story 4/10 stars
