What is this topic doing on TheVault?! But I agree completely 

I especially like used books that fall open to a page with a great passage. I love my technology, but it will never be as good as a real book for that reason.

My biggest issue with this whole hot mess is that it will further invalidate the older stuff, basically saying to everyone "Play the new stuff we worked on! The old stuff was better, we're jealous and so we will burn that mother to the ground! For Profit!".

I could give a shit about what new shinies they are offering up with the new system, I TR for a very specific reason that the new shit is just that. Making me run sagas for TRing outside of spending real cash is the last kick in the crotch for me.

Well after Jerry comes back to work tomorrow morning at 9 AM (which is amazing for a 24/7 running worldwide MMORPG company that claims to be AAA btw) and has made his coffee and sits on his desk at around 10, then realizes the shit's hit the forum's fan, he'll maybe spill his drink over his keyboard then speak to Tolero, then they'll speak to at the monday 2 o'clock meeting then he'll probably write one of his "one in 2 years" statements where he will announce that

1) the Token-for-Hearts option will be left turned on for a transition period of, say, till the end of the year.

2) Prize from the alpha-server is ridiculously high, (that's why it's an alpha test server btw, to all the doomsayers, did you really believe you had to run a saga 50 times, are you that fucking dumb?) and that it will be considerably lower on the live beta-game-servers, the grind only slightly higher than today's Heart of wood-grind.

(an to be honest - farming epic tokens was considerably tougher when the lvl cap was 20 and not every n00b could reach lvl28 within a few weeks and thinking about it, I have to almost agree that TRing is almost a tid too easy nowadays ... heck, did I say that out load?)

Consider this :

When they told us that the Augments were going to be updated, they never told us that they were going to remove the Catalysts from Lahar.... we discovered it the hard way when the update hit live.
That way they made sure that we wouldn't be able to slot anything on our old epic items unless we updated them ( which in some case is not a good move ).

This time as they remove basically all the use for Lahar, they might as well sneak remove him in the update, and we all would be pissed because we wouldn't be able to make all those old epic items we want to make but are missing a seal, a shard or a scroll.

Guys, it is not:
I could give a ...

Correct:

I could NOT give a ....

So, properly reply to this post that "I could not give a ...." about my post.

So who's the responsible boss of DDO now? Apologize my lack of Turdbine-knowledge.

Producer Rowan

Look him up on the DDO Forums. He introduced himself and posted quite a bit for a short time.

Before him, that guy Glin was the interim Producer. Glin is now the Senior Developer, replacing Eladrin.

Real books are the best though. ...you know if this shit goes forward i may just need a new game.

What specifically do you like about Wildstar? My SO was in the closed beta and really enjoyed it, but when he let me play on his account I couldn't really get into it. I really like the art style and sense of humor, but the combat and character building felt clunky and rigid to me compared to DDO. The few quests I tried were pretty boring as well (kill X monsters, etc). Of course, all that could all change as development continues.

If my SO is still playing DDO once his ban is over, I imagine he'll make the switch to Wildstar completely once it leaves beta. I would need to enjoy it a lot more than I did when I played to be willing to drop a subscription on it myself. I kinda wish it was gonna have a f2p option so I could try it out some more.

Wildstar looks like fun, but not my genre.  I need big scaly flying things and men with beards wearing nightgowns and blowing things up with their minds.

Yeah, looked like Wildstar was going for the EVE Online path to being "free". Much, much preferably to the DDO-style microtransaction BS that inevitably and completely corrupts the game design.
