Yesterday I recieved an email with a newsletter that Dungeons and Dragons Online: Storm Reach has a new addition! - DDO Online Unlimited...FREE TO PLAY FOR EVERYONE!
I got all giggley and hyper and read into it (looking for a catch22) and found out they are going to go through a point system like most of the MMORPG's online you may or may not always see.
DDO on the other hand seems for the most part to have done right on the situation:
You can still get loot, and in game chests with good rewarding items!
They still allow mail,auctions,trades and various findings in side quests.
You can still earn ingame money and shop at the inns for healing potions etc...
After getting in game and checking out the store it seems very basic and simplistic, yet for people who want something now (if they have the money/points) it is welcome to them.
Also noted that you can keep your older existing characters, and things that can be bought with "Turbine Points" can be unlocked just by simply playing the game. Ofcourse we all know MMORPG's take up your life, so maybe they are trying to incorporate a method into the game for normal people,like me, that can't just sit infront of a computer screen for 14 hours a day and play a friggin game!
With all that being said.....DDO Online Unlimited is going to be my current most played game!
With Tales of Phantasia (GBA) coming in second, and Random PCE time coming in third!
