So how much are you spending in DDO right now?

Copy pasted from the other place, feel free to chip in there if you can Smiley


I found myself wondering about this the other night. Have you prebought a bunch of TPs? Just wondering, as I have plenty of mine left over from the points bundle buy with Motu and, since I only really buy content, it will be a while for me to churn through them, since I'm picky about my content (didn't buy Druid's Deep for example).

I'll kick things off - started as ftp / premium in 2010 and bought a bunch of daft packs as a noob. Went VIP for two years, making the decision to cancel my sub when epics were tweaked hard and epic PUGging went through the floor. Bought the collector's edition and one points bundle instead, which enabled me to buy the pre Motu game and have about 10k TPs left over. I really only buy content, apart from the odd armour kit and the odd quality of life thing (extra inventory on the slowest completionist ever, for example). So I still have 8k left over.

I guess I am curious how many other folk are in a similar situation? Turbine must have had a big income spike from the Motu preorders. How many of you are actively still spending money on the game, or are many sitting on a TP reserve and so effectively not generating any income currently?

I still have a few K TP left over and I haven't touched the game in months (nor have I paid a cent to Turbine in over a year while playing) Cheesy

I bought the MotU pre-order and have about 600 TP left after just purchasing the Cannith challenges.  I still play 4-6 hours a week on average, but don't plan to spend any more money on the game for at least the next 4-6 months.  Other than content packs, the only thing I ever bought was the shared bank.

^me.  I bought $50 worth of TP maybe 18 months ago (my second $50 TP buy). Stopped playing right after the expansion went on sale.  Tried to give my account away to guildees cause there was TP left on it and a few multilife TRs, but no one wanted it.

I haven't spent a cent on my main account since MOTU (the $80 MOTU, no extra TP). Before MOTU, I hadn't bought TP since... U11?

I bought my second account the $15 MOTU and $8 of TP when there was double bonus points.

I have about 10k in points right now.  I'm not spending too much as I buy some armor kits.  Mainly I'm buying xp pots, but try to stock up when they go on a big sale.

Oh, I am ViP, and mine are from one of the point bundles.

I have about 1500 TP left from purchasing the big bundle of points with motu. I am a monthly VIP so I spend $10 a month. I have for a long long time.

I briefly quit for a week, but only because my internet was turned off. I'm addicted what can I say?

I don't plan to buy more points any time soon.

I haven't spent money on DDO for quite a while.  The MOTU pack was a gift from my dev friend.  Dropped some points to get the HOrc and HElf races and that's been pretty much it.  I've got somewhere around 3000 TPs left.

I spent a lot of points my first year getting all the packs, but I probably average less than $50 every 6 months over the past year or so.

The last time I spent money on DDO was when my wife and I preordered MOTU. Given how little we've played since then, I highly regret it.

I'm spending $0.  I had a 12 month sub that re-upped in June and I just cancelled, so I still have a while being VIP.  I'm not gonna delete my characters or give all my shit away because there's always a chance I may come back.  I'd have to unlock all my characters first and then warforged, monk, etc.  I have FvS unlocked via favor so I'm good there.

So, you aren't going to pull an Epoch? I'm currently paying for 2 VIP subs for Siss and I.  That's really all they will be getting for a while.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

I bought a $20 point bundle since getting the collector's edition of MotU.

Being the geek and email pack rat that I am, I recently went though and added up everything I've bought since I started playing. I am somewhat embarrassed by the number of cakes and gold seal hireling clerics I went trough in the first 12 months.
