On this note, I still play WoW and I think it's still well worth paying for,
I still have a ball playing the game, I'm really enjoying BWL, I'm looking
forward to Naxx soon and I'm really looking forward to the Burning Crusade.
Whatever problems you have with the game, it's still a hell of a game.
Slick, polished and largely trouble free at this stage.

With DDO Turbine are doing very well however IMO they have a hell of a long
way to go (druids and monks are still missing for example). The game suits
our style of play (one night a week with a fixed group) however you *need* a
group to play, for a awful lot of players the game is far too short (largely
because the game released with a level cap of 10), levelling itself is quick
and too easy and there's absolutely nothing to do (except possibly grind for
loot) once you hit level 10. The system itself rocks but the content has
serious problems (mostly of the, "there's too little of it" variety).

Lets be honest here, it's a whole lot of fun but I play it because of the
people I play it with (I love you guys! Eh, screw you guys.) if we played
DDO the way I/we played WoW we'd have been at level 10 after the first
couple of weeks and we'd probably have quit shortly afterwards.
