D&D Online Stress Beta Begins

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the virtual-d20s-never-get-lost-under-the-table dept.

kafka47 writes "Turbine's much-anticipated MMO, "Dungeons and Dragons Online: Stormreach", is now opening up its stress test to Fileplanet subscribers. The registration is free, and it is a great opportunity for MMO and D&D fans to sign up and try out the game! Paid subscribers get a higher-rez client, but if you're curious about what DDO has to offer (and by all accounts, it's a lot) this is your chance to see it early."

    How can you play a video game with only 1 mouse button?

    Here we have a possible new MMO

    Its not possibly a MMO, it is a MMO

    I know many people who also will not try other MMOs because their current one is too infatuating.

    Dude, you probably aren't their target then. If WoW is your life you probably arent "deep" enough to get into a true D&D MMO. WoW is the most simplistic MMO I ever played... its very point to point, the classes are very simple, the quests are very simple. D&D mechanics are far more in depth and a lot more complicated.

    Every single MMO game MUST have PvP. It is a rule. If it doesn't it sucks and the PvP fans will flood the forums demanding the inclusion of PvP and they will do it so loudly that the 4 or 5 who want can drown out the 100.000 PvE players who are to busy playing the games to troll the forums.

    You know why The Sims Online failed? No PvP. Oh and don't forget PvP doesn't mean simply including the option to engage in duels or even staged arena fights with you know balanced teams and everyone having the same equipment to balance things out.

    No proper PvP is allowing level 10000 players to form groups and attack solo new players. And don't you dare call that unfair it is their fault for not been 133t enough.

    IF, that is IF, ddo delivers what it promises it could be great. It all depends on how much they succeed in keeping the people like the parent poster out. DDO for the bearded PnP orhpans who couldn't give a toss about PvP or having the latest gear. Just fun.

    I don't suppose anyone got a fileplanet subscription to spare?

    MMO Quests are like orgasms:

    You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
