Well the recent event was a mostly waste of time, and only ran for one weekend.  I played for only a few hours, as I've been really bored with DDO as a whole.  Also I think in my XFIRE I've not even logged any hours.

But got this e-mail that I exploited and banned for 3 days.  WTF, one lucky I don't really care to play.  But the fact that I have not even the slightest clue what I did that could be considered an exploit.  How fucked up can a coded system be that through normal action be an exploit.

The fact they couldn't even code the sale of scales right themselves is one indication of their poor coding and QA skills 1 scale = 10,000 motes, max stack for a motes 9,999. um der!!!

copy of e-mail, make note of the sentence that doesn't make sense.

I'm not even bothered to contact them, and hundreds of players are creating threads on the official forums.  With one thread reaching 8+ pages before deletion.  Shame a mate never heard back when he was banned when the guilds renown bullshit hit the fan.

Turbine once again, you fail.

Sadly no for me, never got into the Halo games.  Didn't have an xBox and the DRM on the 'live' version for PC drive me crazy.

Well it's finally gone public F2P, after downloading a whopping ~10GB installer got it running.

The graphics look crisp, but the game itself and combat seems very boring.  Right-click target, wait for it to die.

One benefit is that as my Turbine Account I use with DDO is premium status I was able to get an activation key from Turbine and add access to LoTRO to that account and also have premium status perks over there.  Which is 3 characters per server and 5 gold, but from 2 characters and 1 gold limit for FREE players.

hmm still deciding if i should give it a shot, did the beta or trial and didn't like it lol. well i did but i lagged terrible back then. still same pc but upgraded the cpu so it might work better this time. so need more hard drive space x.x

I know this is old and not sure if I've posted this before, but every time I watch it I'm amazed.  They look like a great company to be involved with.


Wish all MMO companies had this kind of community relations.
