	It was obvious after the first month that they had to do something if they wanted to keep going. So 6 month after release, massive server merges. and 9 month after release, F2P model. seriously, even those that were thrilled by the idea of a SW MMO among my DDO guildies ( and that went away for it ) are coming back to DDO just because there's no real endgame ( beside PvP ) in SWTOR and so many things are not existing/crude. [ LFM panel anybody ? ] On the other hand they have a log for the guild vault, that should give a hard on to some Crazy_Clown.

	So, we have to admit...yes, DDO engine is outdated, it is full of bugs, the GM are assholes, but...they release new content, and they get you hooked, somehow.

	I don't find DDO engine outdated, just wonky from time to time. I can live with most of the bugs, though there's a few that are really fucking gameplay. My latest GM interraction was ( lessthan 5 mins after filling the ticket ) : +GM+ it is not a known issue please fill in a bug report. Me : Ok, thanks for not much Me to party : One min, GM told me to fill bug report. Initial problem : We completed law room in PoP Elite ( XP showing in the log ), but the door didn't deactivate and the power cells were not collectable. Group reaction after bug report : moving on. We completed, recalled and all... It's not as if it was really pissing us to do one more room... we were more or less set to do them all. Never had hour long response time to GM tickets and until now they have always solved my problems. There's 3 things DDO has the other games I tried doesn't : - Mature players - No PvP so to speak, so no e-penis waving - relatively customizable characters that can still work at end game. ( meaning that it's possible, under certain circumstances, to play a gimp ( non minmaxe, not equipped fully ) character at end game and still have fun. )

	SWTOR has an endgame. It lasts for a month - at most. Also, pvp as endgame? LMAO. The pvp is nothing like it used to be. It is easy to get the gear now, and groups are shit. Take 3 guildies with you, be organized, and you will win every fucking pvp match.

	Easy answer : fuck PvP. It's one of the reason why I stay in DDO. E-penis wavers have long left the game due to the lack of PvP.

	Elladian is the one true and honest fan fo this MMO. He will be the last guy standing in that MMO. His fanboyness is just sickening at times. But why mock him about it. Everyone has his/her own tatses.

	majmalphunktion wrote on Apr 26^th, 2014 at 11:06pm: Wow, you love me. There has been two big lag fixes in the past week. No, those are not going out with a hotfix. They are more wide ranging and take more time to test. Of course every time you get like this, I keep wondering where your MMO is so I can play it. Obviously you know excatly how to piece one of these together. I can't keep apologizing a gazillion times for the back end tech and things people did on this game before I was even an employee. So one last time, yes some of the stuff from the before times sucks. Sorry about that. Yes we know, stop building new systems. Yes we know, finish the ones out there. Yes we know you hate bards. And screw you for bringing up the laid off folks. That sucks every time. I made sure all my people landed in other jobs real quick. None of my 'casualties' are unemployed, just sadly not employed by Turbine. Every business goes through this.Even Valve has layoffs. It sucks every time. If you haven't had to do it then you just don't know. Picking people and knowing you are about to turn their life upside down is terrible, every time. Not giving a bleep. No, I stop listening when the bile starts. Not worth my sanity. You know my rule, treat me like a human and I'll do the same back. When the rage train starts...cya. So here is my peace out of the vault for a while. Thanks for the list Ranger, that was actually clear and helpful.

Do you have another channel? or you banging this same drum over and over? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt? We get it you like star wars but you must also see that the star wars genre just doesn't support a popular MMO. It's not your fault, you didn't have anything to do with the creation of the Star Wars universe, your just a fanboy. It's also OK that you are having fun playing it. Good for you. Pull out that light saber and fap fap fap until the force overcomes you.
