DDO Unlimited

I know there is another thread on Dungeons & Dragons online but has anyone played the Unlimited 'Free to Play' version Turbine launched in the US recently?

I started playing it recently. I downloaded a copy and I am connecting to the US without any lag at all. I have been having great fun recently without spending a bean.

Just started on a trial on the EU servers, seems a nice PvE mmo.

Great game, but basically impossible to solo past level 3. Only play it if you've got guaranteed company.

Fun game, am also playing the freebie US version. It works flawlessly for me here in the UK.

Signed up to the US version about a week ago and I'm only surfacing now

Stupidly good game for free (and you really can do without ever going near the item shop, it's very well done in that regard).

Grimfane on Khyber if anyone wants to group up

I have 2 toons on khyber, Caifon my lvl 17 bard and Dinak my lvl 6 sorc, have spent some money on buying the adventure packs, but since i canceled my sub to the Eu version it works out about the same.

I don't know if I'll like this kind of game, but at the price it's worth a try!

Edit: I can't install it. I'm having the same problem described here:
http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=230354

I download the ddostandard.exe or ddohigh.exe, and when I click on that I get the message, "No internet connectivity detected. Please reconnect and try again." (While browsing the net and downloading from steam)

Any ideas?

I dunno, running as admin, turning off firewalls while you try to install?

MeMeMeMe · 2 May 2010 at 00:11

Yeah, tried that. Judging from the experience of the people in that thread I linked, I'm not optimistic of finding a solution.

Is the dl fully downloading?, not sure how big it is but i would guess a few gb?

MeMeMeMe · 2 May 2010 at 01:15

I found the solution. I was using OpenDNS, and had to revert to my ISP's DNS service. Now it's downloading properly.

The biggest shock i think ppl may find is that all the quests/wilderness areas is instances, meaning that no on else can enter them unless they are in your party and its not kill 1 mob and get xp, you only get xp for completing the quest and in wilderness areas its kill a rare get some xp and loot, find areas for xp and kill certain amount of mobs for xp, which is usually advertised as rares/slayers/explorers in the LFM.

If you play on kyhber and see 1 of my toons on send a tell, i maybe able to help with some spare items i have lying about and some plat, though it would have to come from my bard as shes the rich 1, just over 200k plat ( 2million gp ).

Caifon ( lvl 19 bard ) Dinak ( lvl 15 sorc )
