	There's no fucking way I'm listening to 90mins of those people droning on and on just for one sound byte of info. While I commend Patrick for doing it the cast, he really needs to include a breakdown of topics and their times in the description. It would probably greatly increase viewership (although it is more work). And, yes, I know he kinda does on his site, but this: Quote: F2P, Premium or VIP � 2:36 Game News � 1:02:47 Community News � 1:15:56 Lightning Post � 1:20:54 Closing � 1:26:42 Tells me relatively nothing.

	Then start listening at the 51:10 mark.

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	Who the mother-fuck do they think listens to this shit?! Worse still, why does every fucker on the motherboards act like whatever is said in DDOcast is fuckking common knowledge? If I was stuck on a desert island, with nothing but DDOcasts for entertainment, I'd still rather fucking sit and listen to the sound of the waves.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Quote: Worse still, why does every fucker on the motherboards act like whatever is said in DDOcast is fuckking common knowledge? Because most of posters on the motherboards listen to it. If you are taking the time to be an active poster on the forums, it shows a certain emotional attachment to the game. Hence, you will find 1 hour to listen to a podcast with an SSG employee on it. A good number of them also watch the Wednesday and Friday livestreams. Quote: If I was stuck on a desert island, with nothing but DDOcasts for entertainment, I'd still rather fucking sit and listen to the sound of the waves. That's certainly your prerogative, but don't complain when you are uninformed then.

I don't...but then again, I don't really complain much about being uninformed, either. BTW...Asheras is on the Player's Council, or at least he used to be. He might still be, I can't remember. If he still is, he's about as informed as any player is going to get. He doesn't need to watch all those streams. I just don't have the time to.

	I'm not trying to rag on people who do - personally I just cannot stand live streams or podcasts or shit, and I mean that about ANYTHING. Its lazy as shit, I'd rather sit in silence than listen to someone's train of thought rambling. My point was that these are piss-poor methods of communication and I see it as one more failing on SSG's part.

The podcasts are easy for me. i can download them to my phone and listen to them while lifting or doing cardio at the gym. I have a hard time watching TV or reading something while running/working out hard, but listening is fine. The livestreams are more difficult. But if you really want to know what is going on and/or actually get a question answered by Cordovan in real time, then watching the live stream and putting your question in the chat is the best way to get it done.

It's fine to do it, and I'm happy for them, but how fucking hard is it for tons o'fun to take 10 minutes and write up some little blog post about what he said? As hard as making a weekly store page, I guess.� sigh

No, I don't know that, because I don't listen to podcasts But kudos to Ash! And I mean that in a non-sarcastic way. We really do need that counterbalance. I appreciate the hard work, Asheras!

	noamineo wrote on Sep 20^th, 2017 at 6:30pm: What would you suggest? As Techno implies, merely playing a F2P game helps support it. Non-paying customers who stick around tend to give them money again eventually, but even barring that, the pennies you cost them in bandwidth has an exponential ROI in terms of enriching the play experience of those who do pay and even simply making the game appear populated. Unless you're always anon and never group and never post on AH/ASAH and otherwise actively grief other players continually. Still the worst thing you can do is not play the game at all and grief/badmouth them IRL and online.

	Carpone wrote on Sep 20^th, 2017 at 9:54am: If you had gone VIP for 7 years, then you would have paid less than $9 for 20-40 hours of entertainment each month. That's a Netflix level of a good deal. If a $15/month sub requires financial analysis about whether you can afford it or not, stop playing the fucking game and go improve your job marketability instead. FFS, $15 is the cost of a decent lunch or cheap dinner. You know obviously you missed the point of that story Brian.
