	I heard a rumor that Turbine will lose it's license for the name this year. Are they shitting me, or is it true? All mr google gave me was this: https://www.ddo.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-337927.html?s=aef561457673b3cbc80... I'm of course not going to read that whole thread.

Darth Anonymous wrote on Feb 1^st, 2014 at 1:11pm: Hearing something has "merit" but we don't have "time" kind of says everything about how Turbine works on things. eighnuss wrote on May 27^th, 2014 at 12:52pm: everyone but turbine knows that we are sad they are destroying our game majmalphunktion wrote on Aug 30^th, 2013 at 12:12am: I don't make the game, I just get tested what they build. Sorry you are not happy. Skoodge wrote on Nov 27^th, 2014 at 6:54am: DDO is easy to summarize - the greatest game to suck the most ass. GooFY wrote on Mar 2^nd, 2015 at 5:36pm: Turbine - So incompetent that we are skeptical when they report their own incompetence. � Meursault wrote on May 11^th, 2015 at 8:10pm: Other companies will settle for shitting out garbage, Turdbin actually prefers to. Especially if they can get us to buy it, that just cracks them up. Meursault wrote on Nov 12^th, 2015 at 2:50pm: Breaking something and putting it back together isn't as good as not breaking it to begin with, it's not even close. palmer01 wrote on Nov 20^th, 2015 at 9:05am: Devs do not care what players want - they already have an agenda and give out token gestures so the paladins can feel worthy. PersonaNonGrata wrote on Oct 4^th, 2016 at 1:24am: The DDO devs aren't motivated by a positive user experience.

Well the thread was only posted so ya'll couldn't say "prove it or GTFU". I honestly don't give a fuck. I was just curious if Turbine's gonna do another "oops, we forgot to renew our license, and that's why you can't do shit atm". Like they did with the domain name.

	Old news, and I'd hope Turbine don't renew their D&D license annually. You're full of shit, just go die somewhere out of the way quietly.

	Still delusional enough to think you have anything worth saying. Your thread is shit, your posts are shit, and your life must be truly the shittiest to have to spend all this effort on saying so little that's already been said by other people. Really, save yourself the cringing in the future, and just chone your account, then take your PC down to a charity shop so someone who needs it for something other than posting banal tripe can make use of it.

So many words. Actually, I take that back.. I see "shit" and more "shit". Someone didn't finish high school, ey?

	Do me a favour, when you inevitably off yourself out of shame and disgrace, leave your brain to science. I'm studying cognitive impairment and I think I've found a prize subject.

	Turbine holds the license through May 13, 2016, per an Amendment to the original license. The easiest link is from the Turbine v. Atari lawsuit: http://www.courthousenews.com/2009/08/26/Atari.pdf paragraph 6.

	For all of Turbine and DDO's myriad faults, Cryptic and NWO were worse in pretty much every way that matters. I doubt anyone at WotC considers the Cryptic experiment successful.

I doubt anyone at WotC considers the Cryptic experiment successful. OK, from an IP holder's perspective (not a fan's perspective), how is NWO worse? Aren't they like 20x the playerbase of DDO? I mean, look at D&D4.0, it's not like WotC holds the spirit of D&D sacred, they worship the $ just like Turdbin. And with NWO's site traffic strong and stable, and DDO's on a steep and steady decline and about to drop off the Alexa rankings, how could WotC see more $ in Turdbin than Cryptic? How could they sell the idea to investors or the board of directors? http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ddo.com http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/playneverwinter.com http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/perfectworld.com (Note that playneverwinter.com is their MyDDO equivalent, and perfectworld.com is for all of their games, but Neverwinter accounts for 27% of the search traffic to perfectworld.com so no matter how you slice it they're pretty much crushing DDO in the web traffic department)

	Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

	Perfectworld is pretty horrible. They are what I classify as a 'bleeder' corporation. They buy a company, bleed its IP and Fanbase, and then put the game on maintenance mode.

The big question is will it happen at the end of this week or at the end of this this year. You can't buy stat tomes, XP stones, quest teleports, or loot re-rolls in NWO, so I have a hard time believing anyone who tells me Cryptic is bleeding the fanbase harder. Not that it doesn't suck, just that Turdbin/Cryptic is more kettle/pot than Angel/Demon. What I'd really love is to see some independent company jump on the OGL d20 rules and make something like Path of Exile but with the ability to publish modules like NWO's Foundry. With Pathfinder Online, Path of Exile, and the NWO Foundry, the pieces are all out there. I don't think I'll have too long to wait�
