Amber writes the best “review” of DDO I’ve read till this point.

I like the way she looks at things and I possibly agree on every point she explains. It’s the first time that I hear about something interesting about the game. Solid points, some of which we were already and anticipating from quite a while and that I’m glad to see (like the resources and the different behaviours for the mobs).

The point is if that’s what people expect from this genre. If it is what the myth of Dungeon & Dragons truly evocates. I know it didn’t work for me.

– I don’t like the game.
– It is not what I search in a mmorpg.
– I would have used the potential of the setting in a different way.

I still continue to see it as the bastard child of the genre, which doesn’t mean that it has no qualities. But we still have to see if those are the qualities we expect and search in this particular genre.

Someone else doesn’t have the same kind words as Amber.
