TBH I dont even hate or dislike you and I think of you as Arkunt, it just has a ring to it and seems right.

DDO is still fun.

I play a couple times a week.  Less than I used to, but that's more about real life than it is about the state of the game. 

The new raid is actually fun, not like CiTW.  It's not ToD or Shroud, but it's enjoyable.

Neverwinter is worth a look.  It won't replace DDO for me, but I know a lot of people who are checking it out and enjoying it.

I still enjoy DDO. I took about 6 or 7 months off starting March of 2012 due to RL (mostly training for martial arts) taking up more time. As some other people mentioned I came back to a completely different game. It's still enjoyable and I already own almost all the content so figured I might as well jump back in since I had more free time again (mostly from being injured too often to train as heavily).

I'm hoping to cut back on my play time and get in more time training but at 37 injuries just take longer to bounce back from than they used to.  Sad On the plus side DDO is still enjoyable despite the dev's trying to break it.

I quit back in October. I wouldn't sub until you played around as a freebie to get the feel of all the changes.

This is good advice. Or, I guess sub on short term and play the hell out of it.

Current adventure programming is snoozeville, though Sad

No better game needs to be released to kill off DDO...they are quite adept at doing that to themselves.

90% I will not be back, and handing over the CE reigns this week as well.

DDO died a long time ago, we just all have trouble admitting it.

Kind of the same. Haven't touched DDO in a while now. I think I logged in once on Khyber in the last month to say hello to old friends but that's it.
Done it all, seen it all.. too many times. I don't like the direction the game is taking.. easy, p2w, grindless, shitty game balance, lack of endgame.

The ONLY thing that might make me come back is the fact Nick (groan-1) is back after a 6 months break. But then, I probably wouldn't be able to go back to khyber anyway (that stupid "you can't go back to a server you've already been to" bug) and there's no way I'm creating a new toon or borrowing one of the rev's accounts.

So I asked the turbine support service if my toon was elligible for it, they said no paid service was available at this time, closing my ticket with no real answer. As someone studying networks/telecoms & currently doing an internship in the biggest french company in the support team, I can tell you turbine support is beyond terrible.

its not that I hate ddo I just can't agree with a lot of the direction its going in. I don't like the new forums avoid it like the plague. Logging in takes a pep talk now even with a great guild. I just rather ride around on my horse in Neverwinter I may play alone but I feel like I get more done and my expectations aren't as high as they were for DDO Sad seriously nothing that I have been able to see (even with press access) excites me for the future of the game and its sad.

TOTAL sous-traite toutes les activités de support par CapGemini (je suis chez Sogeti qui est une des filiales de CapGemini). Du coup, je suis dans le groupe de support qui est le point d'entrée pour tous les problèmes réseaux/informatiques/télécoms de TOTAL (super intéressant parce que l'infra est tout simplement gigantesque!)

Je suis en 2ième année de DUT R&T, j'ai passé des concours dans 6 écoles, pris partout mais comme je veux faire de l'apprentissage, j'ai choisi une école de Bordeaux pour avoir l'entreprise pas trop loin (toujours Sogeti). Dans 3 ans, je sors en ingénieur, je t’envoie un CV Cheesy

My expectations regarding DDO are going lower and lower... right now I'm taking a semi break while exploring NWO.... But NWO won't keep me off long, as it's 4th Ed *puke*

Two things I like about Neverwinter:

Having mounts is cool.  That would be a neat addition for DDO, although they tend to go with the "teleport your ass everywhere" method of transportation. 

The ability to build and publish user created content is also an awesome option.  Would love to see that in DDO. 

It is a shame they seem to be investing time and energy into "iconic heroes" and other features that do not really add anything to the game long term.
