after playing wow hardcore for pretty much since it came out, i have gotten tired of the monthly fee and the required time to put in to see the highest level of content has killed the game for me. perhaps a change to DDO might work better (especially with school restarting soon)

@Qix, I agree with your statements about WoW being a timesink. Guilds are very demanding when it comes to attendance and it seems like now a days you can’t have a life beyond the game if you wish to progress. If DDO is as good as this writer is hoping, it may be an option for a more casual gamer such as myself.

@Matt, agreed.. I might give it a shot. Also, the new graphics are most welcome. I like the overall art direction. Should give me something to do while WoW is down or patching.

I think the more interesting plot line here is whether DDO can reboot itself. We haven’t seen a large MMO reboot itself successfully yet, but then again, none have tried entire business model swaps.

If DDO is relativle stable, count me in. Ive been looking all over for a half descent F2P since Hellgate went down. Currently, I play WoW. But my gaming is too sporadic. I cant consistently show up to raids, so no guild will have me for long before replacing me. I have too much of a life outside of WoW. Leading me to stop playing WoW altogether since I have to pay for it every month, even if I don’t play.

If DDO:EU has more polish than Runes, then count me in.
