This and this alone is making me highly consider deleting my entire account and seriously never looking back. I'm sure a few others feel the same way. Until the people that have shaped DDO into the terribly functioning piece of shit barely holding itself together before it disintegrates and blasts apart upon even the gentlest of flushes for the last 2 years are dismissed, I will continue to never spend a single dime. What's next? For the 11th anniversary Sev is going to make a statue of himself in the hall of heroes? Fat fuck Jerry is going to give all his kids a god mode cheat bar? So much for high hopes. This is worse than DDO doom. This is a confirmation that the plans the Turbine team had of driving the game into the ground in order to make it possible to buy it out and make it whatever they want has finally come to full fruition. This is the worst news ever in the entire 11 year DDO history.

	Flav wrote on Dec 19^th, 2016 at 3:41pm: Fixed Lotro and The Hobbit IP are about to be become public domain. That's why Saul Zaentz rushed all the films, it Washington the only way for them to make some money beurre it's too late. Iirc, they have 3/4 year of cow milking left. They should hurry if they want the Beren & Luthien tale out... For the Record the Copyright for "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" expire on Jan 1 2044. There is also a special provision in UK copyright law allowing for perpetual copyright, see "Peter Pan" that many believe will be applied to those two works. The earliest the rest of the Middle Earth Books from Christopher Tolkien become Public Domain is 2087.

	Flav wrote on Dec 19^th, 2016 at 2:38pm: Honestly it would be extremely strange for WB to disvest the Lotro IP when it's the reason they bought Turbine. I doubt the divested the IP. There is probably a licensing arrangement. Realistically, WB has no interest in another LOTRO MMO. There is more fertile ground in more Battles of Middle Earth and Shadows of Mordor type offerings. This is probably a good thing for DDO. If the studio is actually committed to building on the platforms rather than holding them in maintenance mode there may actually be positive change.

If the studio is actually committed to building on the platforms rather than holding them in maintenance mode there may actually be positive change. Was thinking the same thing more or less. If the current DDO & LotRO crew "bought out" Turbine's interests in the games and formed their own company, Standing Stone, they might have an actual pecuniary interest (instead of just receiving a paycheck) in DDO and LotRO doing well. If so, the two games might actually get better.

	I don't know if this change will be good or bad for the game long term. I do know, however, that most people work much harder for themselves than they do for other people.

	Well, now we will have a game developed by a company only focused on DDO and LotRo. That can only be positive compared to a Turbine that wanted to get rid of it.

Not to mention there is nothing stopping them from finishing their ultimate vision they started 3 years ago. These people who have developed skills in only fucking things up, alienating the player base and making weak excuses to cover their fuckups now have full access to do as they please. If it was just Daybreak I would have higher hopes but it seems they are just there for promotion and infrastructure. If it was a bunch of SPED's amped up on adderal involved in the buyout I'd feel more confident. I guess we will see where things go after Thursday sales. I wouldn't be surprised if concessions are given to the fanbois like head SPED Shoemaker while the people that have been in DDO for 5-11 years get coal in their stocking.

I can't see myself complaining if DDO stayed online for another decade.

That game ran for a LONG TIME and offered a lot of room for lateral expansion. I know people who've been playing it from the start, from beta... hell, one guy I know was playing with the children of a few of his original guild mates, who hadn't even been born yet when the game launched. That is seriously the end of an era, right there. Wonder if Turbine is going to finish the private AC servers they promised before it closes?
