[ddo] Welcome!

[Shockwave]

Dalt - Direct email being sent to that Hasbro address okay? Got a key that
*might* work, but no guarantees. I got sent two, but I dunno if their system
is bright enough to realise. 

I registered for the beta twice, once through Fileplanet and once though
Codemonkeys themselves, and that's why.

Awww... <3!

Hard to get too enthused about a game that Hary's saying is decidedly
ropey and I've never seen. Question is how much do you want another
obsessive who'll make the time to always be online for the party to the
detriment of his family life? :)

How much do you love me? Honestly, tell me now. 

I *might* have two....

No problem. I'm still laughing at you saying you'll only be playing once
a week when the rest of your party are on! :)

Agreed, The interface is it's biggest failing, and the world thus far
seems rich enough to last for the initial release before they start
adding content.

More importantly, unlike WoW (or EQ or DAoC) the athmosphere in the
"dungeons" on quests is phenomenal. It  "feels" like a real *RPG*, not
just another MMO.

For that alone I can forgive the quirks and even the woeful interface.

Basically that's essentially it. This is exactly why I will be playing
it (we really need to get a party together and do at least one long
quest chain) and basically I'll be taking my time and only playing with
my regular party.

Yeah, I think this is exactly what we need to do...

How are people fixed for tomorrow night?

On a side note: Dalt, I'm afraid I didn't get a key :( by the time
Fileplanet had sorted out their IP block issues for the UK (or more to
the point, by the time I went back to check) the keys were gone.

Really sorry mate. :( However, there will be a stress test in about 2
weeks (following the US stress test next week) !
