I really don't have enough negative things to say about DDO. The hype was enough to get me interested a year or so ago, but after the beta, you have to pay me to play that steaming digital ****. That game is garbage, the team dynamic makes player individuality irrelevent, the combat system is trash, requiring no more thought than Diablo, the functions of each class give the overriding impressions of being an afterthought, there is no little to no customization of avatars, and worst of all.
Everything is instanced.
The entire game feels forced, pigeonholed, and utterly uninspiring. If I could, I would have everyone in Turbine that had anything to do with slapping the D&D name on this heap of crap dragged into the street, sodomized with a gnarly chairleg, forced to fist their own grandmothers, and pleasure themselves with a bowl of broken glass.
There really isn't a fitting punishment for the people responsible for this game.
It is not, and has nothing to do with D&D, aside from the name, and a few generic elements. It's more akin to a slightly less well balanced and implemented Guild Wars, only not as fun to play.
((the above statement paid for by a dyed in the wool D&D fan, grossly dissappointed in the result of all that goddam waiting.
