I may be done ddo

I just got an email (after posting a comment in my trade thread) that said i was banned until 0/24/09, and as i was already pissed off by the way mod 9 was turning out im as good as done with ddo. Not to mention that after finding that i was banned for a whole month i was "somewhat" pissy in a reply email to them, further tearing me from chances of playing ddo again.

Ive got to say the last year of play has been a fun one, for the most part, and i know i will miss ddo, but im sure i can find other mmos to fill the void (at least until starwars comes out!!! most awesome game ever).

Hope to see you all again sometime, if not in ddo, in some other game

Why were you banned? I was looking on the forums yesterday and there was a lot of posts about people being banned, just not sure why....

Hope to see you back.

The Devs are on a rampage right now. Think about it before you up and leave Nyth. I don't know what you posted, but if you want to share shoot me a pm. Reconsider leaving for good. While I don't like all of what has happened with the direction of the game I think there may be a lot of positives in the new content.

just to clearify im banned until 08/24/09, but it seems to me like turbine has lost their mind.
Why on earth would you ban mass amounts of people (guesstimate of 5000) 2 weeks before releasing a new mod? To me it would seem to make more sense to warn the people, and then ban them, or just fix the problem with the release of the new mod. Instead they ban people, which are now pissed off, most likey hating on turbine in as many ways possible because they now are missing mod 9s release and half of them are probably thinking like me and planning on not returning. The only thing i can think of is turbine is extremely cocky in that they will have a whole new wave of players when mod 9 releases and they couldnt care less about their exisiting players

thats too bad nyth I hope you stick around awhile. Ive tried other games and none seem to be as good or better than DDO. Could you elaborate on why people are being banned or perhaps why you have been banned?

The new star wars mmo looks disappointing. The graphics are nice a sort of Heavy metal 80s era meets hanna barbara 80s era. While I like the look it doesnt have the "Star Wars" feel to it. Also blasters and luight sabers just bounce off the enemy until they run out of hit points im hoping to have games evolve beyond this guess ill keep waiting:(

The good news bad news of the week for me is a new mechwarrior game is on the horizon. Microsoft passed the rights over and finally after so many years a new game is coming. Sadly its not an mmo but at this point ill take anything im starving for some battletech action!

heh.. like i said to morrek in a pm, i was rightfully banned. I am just pissed that there was no warning. What i did (for a good 2 hrs) was make a couple new characters and using an xp exploit got then to lvl 6 and 7. I did this about 2 weeks ago and got no warning of my ban, so I was extremely suprised when after a week off i come back to be banned.

An XP exploit on the live server or the test server?

Ok, started doing a little research on this one...
Wish i had known about it, I would have gladly taken a 1month ban to cap out a few more high concept characters, and likely would had capped out a barb even....

Oh well, such is life eh?
DDO is better when you take breaks any ways, consider it a blessing.
Go play some single player games, go read a book, come back in a month or so, but make sure you take off your subscription first, then re-sub when you get back

now that you mention it that might not be a bad idea ive been neglecting two pretty good handheld / console games: fallout 3 and ffvii crisis core, since last christmas because of ddo. this ban should give me time to get my moneys worth out of them.

hopefully strype is right and after this break ddo will be much fun once again, otherwise ive already found 3 current and upcoming games to possibly invest time in. World in Conflict, Mortal Online, and eventually Starwars

Until August 24th, have fun and good looting

In every silver lineing there is a touch of grey.

Keep your ear to the fourms so you have a good idea of the state of the union,
and seriously, hand held rpgs for the win...
Ive been wasteing SOO much time with "The world ends with you" its almost been a psudo break.....
Man that game si good....

Yah, I'm in the MO beta block A. Haven't been able to play much because it is a "true" beta, and the servers are down more than up. I think this game is going to be everything Darkfall was supposed to be. Think Oblivion as an MMO with the spirit of Ultima Online pre-trammel. The graphics are amazing even in beta. Some people may not like the full nudity aspect of the game, but the AO rating it will get will hopefully keep a lot of the kiddies away.

Don't know about DDO, but I think historically speaking, when something goes F2P with micro charge options, the game is normally on it's last legs.

hmm, i tried to get in the beta but think i was a bit late applying, only applied like 2 weeks ago.

Beta access is granted with a pre-order. After Darkfall, I was reluctant to pre-order a game, but the Dev's are really up front and honest about what they can and can't do.

Historically speaking how many games can you name off the top of your head that have gone F2P? Not that I doubt your thoughts on DDO being close to done but I cant think of any North American MMORPGs that are F2P that started out with a monthly fee.

Try as I might nothing can beat DDO right now. Let me know how your Betas turn out.

1) Archlord.

But it suffers from lack of diversity and, well, kinda meh, ness.

I didn't convey my thoughts well with that statement. Games that get into trouble usually go to F2P with a cash shop. This does not necassarily mean that all games that go F2P are in trouble. Pirates of the burning sea. Huxley I think is going F2P. Not sure on Tabula Rasa and Hellgate London. Chronicles of Spellborne.

I thought hellgate london was completely over? I wasnt saying you were wrong I just dont know mmorpgs all that well aside from the most popular ones. F2P with the cash shop seems to be the wave of the future which sucks cause it allows way too many kids and jerks who have no investment or anything to lose.

I am wishing upon every star for a mechwarrior mmo but I think thats a ways out. Anybody hear anything about the Firefly mmo?

As much as I love sword board and sorcery....

I think I would kill for either....

Firefly MMO? I would try that one out.

never new about that mmo, sounds like googles got something to do with it though. Should be interesting to see what its like, that is if it comes out.

Also hows the beta of mortal online going?

MO beta is rough. The first block is server stability, so when we log on, it's not for long. Server crashes and they have an 800 person cap. 2600 people are in the first block of beta testing, so it's a crap shoot. The time I have been in has been pretty cool. The graphics are great. The full nudity is a bit weird, as we don't have any clothes yet.

Here is a beta video.

The movement is a step away from Mechwarrior 4 which i dont like much. Alot of folks complained it took too long to fight a mech in part 4. This reboot looks like its too quick. The graphics are a huge step up though.I really like how the weapons show heat dissipation and charging effects.

I thought mechs had pods the pilots sit in that launch into orbit upon ejection so the parachute was...strange. I wouldnt want to eject knowing that there is a good chance that the mechs reactor could go critical after destruction.

Looks fun though ill be picking up a copy. Has a four player co-op anyone else? If i ran into an Atlas in that guys mech though Id brown my trousers

On the topic of giant robots.
I'm takeing a minor break from the game to ceatch up on an anamei that has been on my to do list.
G Gundam.

As a kid, Always wrote it off as 1) not part of the main MS series/timeline, 2) NOT WING
and called it crap.
Now I have the forsite to see it as more like a saturday morning giant robot show, filled with moments of pure badassery...
See you in a few days//on to raid

SyFy has been running classic Gundam every monday at 11pm eastern. To be honest its been a long time since i busted out the Big O collection.There is another one out there me thinks its Appleseed but maybe im wrong. Not quite enough robot action but lots of the main character getting caught in teen girls pantie drawers!
Ah anime, so strange yet so compelling.
