Join Sig, Anne and guest Geoff Hanna (www.ddogamer.com) as we talk about the past weeks Dungeons and Dragons Online news Discussions include DDO Update 16, Forgotten Realms Lore and the state of PVP in DDO. We also have segments:- An amazing interview with Ed Greenwood by Scott Tompkings- Deadnettle expertly explains Fate Points- Epic Education with Shamgar goes over tips for the Lord of Blade Raid

Recorded on August 28, 2012 with Brian Fife, James Fingal and Thomas Westberg. The group tries to avoid talking about Farmville-type games unsuccessfully, and eventually pulls the focus around to the new wave of F2P games, converted MMOs like DDO, free to play monetization models, the “whales” that support them, and the impact these models have on gameplay and experience. Tom argues that future MMOs must be free to play, and unless Blizzard has another rabbit in their hat WoW is likely to be the last smash-hit subscription-supported MMO. Brian sings the praises of World of Tanks as an ‘almost perfect’ free to play design. The group wraps up with some discussion on the major technology platforms, PC, iOS, Android, Xbox, PS3 and how they support F2P.

Welcome to the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited.

Its GREAT!)Completionist, How much XP does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? What is completionist anyway? (Life 7!)Lessah is being interviewed this week for the DDO Cast! (We are #9 on Cyberears!)Adan Maskerys Alcoholic Apothecary D&D talk! Warning: This discussion is looooooong! (Information from the DDO Wiki, and submitted by the members of Guild ROTT, Thelanis)o Dark vision and Low-Light Vision have no place in DDO, so the advantage of dwarves and elves does not transfer over from PnP. Also, the disadvantage of slower movement rates for dwarves and Halflings do not exist, hence removing a racial penalty.o When planning your character, it becomes difficult to wrap your mind around the easy way to renew your HP, SP, and change your spells by using rest shrines. In PnP you have to conserve your resources because you only get spells back, and change them, after 8 hours of rest the next day, and you get your level in HP back each night. o There is an increased spell power that is in correlation with the increased number of monsters you face, and they are on a SP system. When you play PnP you have limited spell slots that you must use wisely.o When you die in DDO, and not doing PD, it is a negligible penalty of a level loss that comes back eventually. In PnP you lose a level or 2 points of Constitution. And the higher level spells are significantly expensive.o The rate of advancement is significantly lower. According to the DDOWiki, in PnP you advance a level after every 13-14 encounters, in DDO you will probably have way more than that many per quest, and each quest might only give you about 5-15% of the experience necessary to advance a level.o In DDO, except for PVP, your area effect spells do not damage your allies. While there is a way to do so in PnP, it takes precious feats to get the same effect.o In PnP you have the ability to manipulate anything in your environment to help you. In DDO it is not a technology that exists yet. We have all had that event when we wish we could just throw up a grappling hook and climb a wall.o In DDO when you charm a monster it is unable to be affected by you until the effect is dismissed, dispelled, or wears off. In PnP when you are ready to dispatch the evil monster you just do so.Lessah tries to get Clankenbeard to break characterThe quirkiest character you ever made
