OK, I downloaded it and have played for about an hour.

This is not the game you're looking for Gib. It's another WoW wannabe. DDO is much more of a D&D game than this is.

Ya I had read previews months ago on Neverwinter and everyone was pretty much saying another fail mmo. no traps, no secret doors, no puzzles/riddles, no skill use like in DDO that does a decent job emulating table top play. It's not faithful to D&D at all is what they said(combat damage is wow like with big numbers...)

Maybe someday the developers of MMO's will make a good game but as long as everyone is worried about profit models of WOW that wont happen.

Thanks for looking into Stinky. Im waiting to see if Elder Scrolls Online will be worth anything.

You should pop in ts sometime! Hope your enjoying your WOW play again.
