Even though it's... I doubt they're doing that though, it would make too much sense to do that (and cost too much money). And it's still TURBINE! :D If they did add a seamless (Eberron) world with new starting areas, I would be tempted to try it out. Even though it’s…

They've been working on getting the Turbine Download Manager, which debuted last year with LOTRO to rather iffy results, with DDO. The plan is for new players to be able to use the TDM to start the game and it will function very much the way Guild Wars does with incremental downloads. Within a few minutes, new players will be at the login screen and creating a character. While they're doing that, the first Korthos area will be downloading in the background. While they're playing those initial few minutes there, the Korthos village area will be downloading, and so forth. I think the target is roughly 10 minutes download time and you're in-game rather than downloading and updating the entire game first. Realized I forgot to mention another important update to DDO.

What server? I'm on Arkenstone, which I think is still considered a medium-population server, and there's been tons of players in nearly every area questing and grouping. Shame.

I have a 30 day key waiting for me. I did like DDO better than LOTRO from the trial, and if some of these changes come down the track, then maybe I WILL take my break from AoC, play DDO for a while before going back to AoC with a time card. Decisions, Decisions... I still have my 99c copy I bought of DDO sitting around.

Would they be as good as Guild Wars? No clue. All I know is that even with the free week I am having NO luck getting groups at low levels. But if it is only for new instances then I guess it will not matter. Honestly LOTRO needs henchmen. Would they be as good as Guild Wars? No clue.
