Yo has anyone heard of this??? I just discovered this today, it's the official Dungeons and dragons MMORPG and it's FREE! I was like, wtf, I love D&D and I like mmorpgs but I fucking HATE paying monthly fees... this seemed too good to be true.

But I downloaded it and have been playing for maybe an hour and wow, it's actually a quality game and it's totally free and legal. AND It's D&D !!!!

DUUDE

some yahookans gotta come and join the quest!

damn i liked nwn, i'll give it a try if it's free.

Cerebro · 10-15-2009, 02:13 AM

i'll have a look
but my laptop is real slow atm

Sir-Ex · 10-15-2009, 02:19 AM

It's very reminiscent of NWN, imagine NWN fused with WoW and that's pretty close to this game.

Also I'm running this on a somewhat old computer (relatively, 2.something ghz 512 ram and an obsolete geforce card) and with gfx turned down it runs okay.

Sir-Ex is my user name in the game, not sure if you search by that in the game or by player name, which is like.. Zaxxis i believe.

3gig download option, going to take some serious pedalling to keep the power on for 5+ hrs

Tricto · 10-15-2009, 11:47 AM

i'm opening it up for the first time now so i'll add you to friends list or something.

also, does it matter what world i pick out of the list on the updater?

Sir-Ex · 10-15-2009, 01:56 PM

yeah if you want to play with me you gotta be in the same world I'm pretty sure. The world i've been playing in is "Sarlona" .

What's your player name? (it is player name not user name)

Bearsy · 10-15-2009, 04:15 PM

I'll join when I get home. I been chilling at maduke's house and she's just got a netbook.

i haven't played a d&d computer game since the forgotten realms shit, i think dark sun was my last. man those kicked a shitton of ass

d&d online was a pay to play game for quite a while, it just recently went free to play. I think though if you actually want to advance past a certain point in the game, you have to start spending money in the item mall, i could be completely wrong though.

Based on what i've seen i don't think so. The premium content costs points that you can either earn in game, or just shell out money to get. Sounds sweet if it's feasible to get enough points to buy.

Also, i'm Chieftan Broom on sarlona now, says you don't exist Sir-Ex, f

Sir-Ex · 10-15-2009, 06:11 PM

are you searching Sir-Ex or my player name Zaxxis?

Tricto · 10-15-2009, 07:48 PM

Sir-Ex
and it doesn't allow a hyphen, and i didn't find it using a surname or as just your first name, i'm stumped.

Sir-Ex · 10-15-2009, 10:58 PM

you gotta search Zaxxis

Sir-Ex · 10-15-2009, 11:09 PM

hmm I found a guy named Chieftan who is a lvl 2 dwarf. is that you?

Tricto · 10-16-2009, 06:49 AM

yup that's me, do you plan on playing today? i prolly will for a bit after class, around 3-4 central time

Sir-Ex · 10-16-2009, 11:14 AM

Central, I think that's like 2-3 mountain time. Yeah I'll probably be able to play, if I'm not online then it's because I couldn't get on.

Havin fun with my wizard so far(name's Tenskwa). More versatile than a sorc. I can summon beasts(a dog atm thats like a cross between a pitbull and doberman) and i have crowd control. Pick a sorc if you want to be the better nuker basically.

Turbine held a beta a before they made it free, which i played a fighter for just a bit in. I made the hard decision of quitting.... I enjoyed it in the short time a bit too much i thought and didn't want to put a lot of time in just to see my guy wiped.

Dungeons are pretty cool so far. Theres optional quests in them and theres a DM voice. I figured out i had to use my jumping skills to make it past some ledges and beams to pwn the skeletal mage who was optional. Fire ftw. As a lvl 2, rank10 wizard i completed a quest on solo. i could have easily done it on normal, but good thing you can repeat the dungeons on higher difficulty and get more xp. They've all been pretty short so far.

For combat i have a wand with a fire spell and i can switch to my staff when they get close to save the number of wand uses. Or pwn the weak monsters with just my staff. When fighting melee you can press shift to block or hold shift and tumble in a direction do dodge. This game has simple qualities that i think are pretty awesome. Like being able to kill more than only 2-3 things at a time.

Sir-Ex · 10-19-2009, 07:34 PM

I'm a lvl 3 ranger right now. What world are you in? My guy is in Sarlona.
