Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach (PC Games, 2006)

Here I am 62 years old looking for something to do with my free time. Well, that certainly is NOT a problem anymore. This is more fun than any game I've ever played online or on the computer.

You get to meet people, create your own characters, equip them and grow them anyway you want. The path to level 16 is long and terribly contagious. Give it a try...It's really a kick.

Look for me in the world of Thelanis in the Guild of Ba'al Verzi. My main toon's name is Solet. See you there!!!

I love this game for three reasons:
1. Awesome game play with realistic graphics and breathtaking dungeons!!!
2. When ever the servers go down for maintenance or troubleshooting it's only a matter of minutes before they are back up and running!
3. FREE EXPANSIONS!!! Yes, thats right, you never have to buy an expansion pack for new content, they download it to you for free VIA patch!!!
You just have to play it to see what I mean. I've played others games like World of Warcraft and Ultima Online but this game takes the cake. WoW was constantly crashing for some reason or another and support was murder. DDO offers support I have yet to see surpassed!

Bottom line, Best MMORPG on the market right now!

For a company that has a charge of 14.99 a month to play you would figure the game would be smooth. Lots of glitches and lagging issues. Things getting stuck, things falling in the structure. I.E. something instead of landing on the stairs falls through the stairs and is unable to be retieved.Things that shouldn't happen for a game that is so expensive to play.Very dark surroundings. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of a dark place but thier should be some kind of way to light it up to see as well. The colors are dull.The engine they are using for movement is nice the movement is fluid.If they could just catch the graphics up it would be awsome! The game has alot of potential if they would re-invest thier income I think you would have a winner here. I have played Ultima online in it's betaand forth for years. I have played everquest in it's beta and forth for years. Everything has flaws some you can't fix without destroying the game and some you can.The dungeon system is great reduces people swinging in and "stealing" your stuff you have worked so hard to get. thier is no camping "YAY" The exp grind isn't that bad.Over all it is well put together.

Beautifully rendered and fun game play. If you want to experience in it's full glory, it's best to exceed the recommended system requirements. Continuous support and updated gameplay (modules) makes this a game that will continue to have a long life of gameplay! Even my non-game playing girlfriend enjoys it, so I bought an additional one so that she can play along with me on another computer.

This game is the most realistic transfer of the classic pen and paper tabletop ever made. A true RPG with the enhanced abilities of the mic and team chatting IN game.

Nothing like talking the talk, while walking the walk.

Solo play is challenging at best. Stick to group play, and you won't regret this purchase.
