Lars: I’ve used the same argument when I was wishing for an hourly-rate WoW instead of the subscription. No problem, I’d pay something like EUR 0.50/hour, but they’ll get 0/hour from me if they keep charging EUR 13/month, which translates to something like EUR 4/hour with the amount of time I could manage to play.

Grind? Going in a dungeon over and over a grind? HERESY…lol

You know, I think we had the first Tweeter-ment or Argue-Twit or Argue-Tweet…

Anyways, now THIS game can be a grind. (betcha there are others who think it is not)

But, for free, with a fun little combat system unlike the slow mo LOTRO, I would buy that for a …uh…NVM

I think Turbine made a brilliant move. I’ve followed the changes to DDO since it launched but since I hated it at launch I have been reluctant to try it again. Now I definitely will. And even if I don’t subscribe again, who knows, maybe I’ll play enough that I’d make an occasional purchase on their Turbine Store. There wasn’t any chance of them making money off of me in DDO before, but now there is.

The captions made me chuckle and really hit the nail on the head.

Looks like Turbine are using DDO to pilot the new business model that will possibly be the backbone for the upcoming console Lord of the Rings game.
