No idea, i've never played DDO, but i would assume that they're different games.

Nope, it states it disappears once Isengard is released, they've made many errors in the descriptions for each pack, like the horse apparently has 100 health, it actually has 200 health.

Sidethink is correct regarding the +25% exp item, the Dev's have confirmed the item will work beyond RoI's release.

They still haven't said what the horseshoe is for, have they?

Do wonder if this will eventually be in turbine points store and able to be purchased with existing points.

Horseshoe?

 

['Wes]

Fall 2011 it will be in the store.

yeah someone answered this for me, you'll be able to buy it with TP once it's released but pre-orders appear to be cash only.

Hmm, any idea how many points it will be? Not playing at the moment so won't preorder but I have 9000 points and get 500 a month free so hopefully will have enough?

That will be more than enough. 500 points is £4.99 I believe so you have £90 worth there plus whatever you gain before release.

I played a lot of DDO and loved it. The combat mechanics were very fast paced and a little twitchy.

LOTRO is different but I love it too. Beautiful visuals, superb storylines and quest zones. Very solo and small group firendly game.

What server are you guys on?

edit: all I had to do was search back a couple of pages to find out. What a doofus.

Bah, now this post is pointless.

What server or "world" is best to go on?

 

['Wes]

I play on Snowbourn, probably the most populated server out of all the European servers.

 

[willhub]

To get anywhere on this game do I need to buy things in the store?

 

[Sleepery]

It helps, but with a bit of clever play you can go a long way without buying anything. Once you hit 50 (level cap is 65) you need to buy the expansions though really to progress.
