i have been playing ddo for 4 years, (khyber) i have plenty of stuff to sell if any one needs things, and offer start up assistance to new players. as well as general information for many questions people might have. let me know if your interested in playing with me or if you need any thing.

I would like to start playing DDO even now... If someone want me to his team then pm me

if you go on the ddo forums of the official site, they have a lot of different builds for newcomers

http://my.ddo.com/referral/godd if you want to start playing, helps me earn points, i can help you get started if you join the khyber server.

I know DDO is F2P, but isnt a LOT of the content p2p? by subscription or buying points to unlock it?

I remember playing it in closed beta I believe. That made me quit because I really couldn't do a lot of the things that a sub wouldve given me. I dont know if that has changed upon release.

I still havent payed for anything. The points you buy are used for convenience items mostly (xp boost etc) as well as unlocking game features (drow or monk for instance). There are usually ways around unlocking these i.e. drow is unlocked when your rep with a faction gets high enough. That being said I dont believe you can get monk w/o grinding out points (creating, playing through opening storyline, deleting the char (begg town awards 25 points) and doing it again. So essentially yes its f2p unless you absolutely have to be monk etc, or until endgame if you want some of the dung content.

Oi also many quests are going to be p2p (about 2/3) so to stay f2p youll have to grind it out on repeated instances.

Never tried it surprisingly. I play too many MMORPG's and RPG's in general. Thanks for the next idea. If you get me addicted.....shit will go down

there are ways to grind available content repeatedly and get every thing for free,

you unlock drow at 400 favor, vet status at 1000 favor, 32 pt builds at 1700( i think), and favored soul at 3200 favor.

you get 25 tubine points for every 100 favor. witch if you only buy content....

and there are times when things are on sale so its more cost effective.

Game is great... i started playing a few days ago and im playing as a ranger. If somebody wanna some party then send me pm via jsp.. atm i have 4lvl ranger
