It going free!!!

[Svage]

DDO (Dungeons and Dragons Online) is going free as of 9 sept 2009. Anyone wanna join me in playing some on there? Free accounts only get 2 character slots, and you pretty much HAVE to group to be able to get very far, but if I remember correctly it was pretty fun when it came out. AND NOW IT WILL BE FREE!!!!

Post here with character names once you get them made.. I will have SalaUnad the Rogue archer, and I can make a cleric to heal all you tank types. No, Yama probably will not make an appearance in DDO, unless I decide to pay for an extra character slot or a full account.

[Yagyu]

Yea sav ill give it a try, though ill prolly still be Yagyu unless i use my real family name whihc would fit better in a midevil setting. I dunno ill talk to u on xfire about details.

Maybe we can coordinate a nice tatsu group and carve out our own little piece of the dnd world

[Vahn]

If my old account still has characters linked to it, I may hop on then.

[Ashikaga]

I have never played DDO before, but I'll give it a looksie.

[otomotopia]

I have never played DDO before, but I'll give it a looksie.

This.

[Gheari]

I'll play, I'll probably use a Scottish name, but I'll have come back in a minute.

I think I'll probably be a monk, I haven't decided on a name yet.

[Hale]

I'll give it a shot, especially if we get a good group going.

[CecilArcelle]

I have never played DDO before, but I'll give it a looksie.

Same.

[Yagyu]

Sounds good, ill speak with Sav later tonight and well start coordinating a group.

[SunWuKong]

Free works.
I'll check it out.

[Yagyu]

Ok so heres what were thinking, making a kinda tatsumaki group/clan in the dnd, no they dont have to be your samurai characters names, its just means the members of tatsumaki. So we should all do this, state what class youll be playing and if you know your character name state that.

heres the class link

http://www.ddo.com/ddogameinfo/classes

[Sabata]

Might end up signing under the username Sabata. Looks interesting.

[SunWuKong]

'Clan' sounds good.

I saw somewhere that Monk and Warforged (race) are not available with the free version.
Blew my plans for a WF barbarian.
So now, I'm looking at a dwarf. Barbarian or fighter.
Am open to other ideas if we get too many melee characters.

Check out the planner software (http://www.rjcyberware.com/DDO/DDOCharGen.html)

[CecilArcelle]

I'll try out a bard, rogue, wizard, or sorcerer.

Can't make promises that I'll like the game though :P

[Svage]

Like I said, I can be our Rouge, I'll go drow, I tend to min/max my characters a bit for online games. Salaunad will be the character name. If I can ever get my password and account reset up.

[Sokuku Ishimaru]

I used to play this game, it was pretty fun. I might show up, I might.

[Svage]

so what server are we going to play on? I say we go to cannith. Just cause I like the name, I'll have a character there named Salaunad.

[Yagyu]

sounds fine sav, the clan well just call Tatsumaki for ease sake. Sav and I will be heading it up as leaders. So tomorrow i hope to see everyone on. :) Ill most likely be going fighter or paladin gotta see the stats, once i make my toon ill post my name.

[Undead]

My motherboard is coming in tomorrow, if it doesnt decide to short i'll download it

Monk looks intresting

[Svage]

I have a backup character made already, Yama Ryubara, human Barb. If you have played DnD 3.5, it is a heavily modified version of that, with action points for extra enhancements.
My main character's full name is Salaunad Cat Child, just cause I couldn't put it together right otherwise. lol.

And for the monk class, warforged race and drow race you have to pay an extra fee, buy the ability to use them. otherwise they have pretty much everything else from basic DnD to play. the intro is pretty cool to. Well, back to playing, Got my main to L2, so i can help everyone get their missions done on the harder difficulties for more exp. YAY!

[Hale]

Honestly, I don't know how much I'll be able to play. I've been distracted by my classes lately. But I'll see what I can do :)

I've made two classes, since I'm still undecided. I have a ranger named Halestorm, because I love bows, and a cleric named Hale, because I love healing and I haven't seen anyone say they wanted healer yet. I'll play either, and will probably play them both until I choose, or until we decide otherwise.

[Svage]

Groovy. Since I had a previous account, I am a premium player, and have 4 total slots for characters on each server. I also have a cleric available to play (not played yet) named Dudt Deadraiser. But I'll stick with the rouge for a while, a ranged specialist cat burglar style. lol

[Zekeen]

I'll keep my username, Zekeen, so it'll be easier to find me.

And I'll be a Rogue/Fighter dual class - so I can disable traps, pick locks, and still fight. Maybe even get a bonus for attacking from behind.

[SunWuKong]

Just made a Human Tank on the Khyber server.
There was an offer of a lot of in-game money to do so.

I'll switch if we're using a different server.

[otomotopia]

Im happy to make whatever we need... and it looks like we need more secondary tank. Shottie human DW warrior.

We should also make a list of people and their preferred character types, and make sure that we all get on the same server by specifically saying which one we want to get on.

[CecilArcelle]

So, which server should we make our characters on?

[Zekeen]

according to Svage and Yagyu, it's on the CANNITH server

[Yagyu]

Ok im havin some trouble, not sure if anyone else is, i have a turbine account but i cant seem to use it on dnd even when i try to make one it wont, says i need a product key, so if anyone knows the product key lemme know cuz i cant find it.

[Svage]

I'll see what I can find.

Oh, I remade my rogue, Seems I forgot to train the ability to open locks. Sad, truly sad. New name is Sala Unad.

Ok, I think you just log into the game with your account to play free, Don't worry about activating the game on the website.
Try that

[otomotopia]

DDO: Unlimited's site is down for maintenance. They probably found the same error you did. Expect it to be up tomorrow at the latest.

It's done that a few times today. I think that they're getting more traffic than they had thought.

[Yagyu]

Ok im in making my toon on carnath

[Svage]

I got mine, but we need 250 favor points to make a clan, I have 50. I have a rogue, what else is everyone playing. Server is Cannith.

[CecilArcelle]

I just made a Wizard character. His name is Ilinx Darivos.

[Svage]

Everyone tell me what time you will be on, and your time zone (gmt +/-X will work too) and we can meet up. I'll add you all to my friends list.

I have done all the villiage missions on solo so I can help everyone level up quickly.

I have MW half plate and a MW maul for anyone who wants it. If not, I will see if someone will hold them for one of my alts, Not sure if I am gonna keep the barb or go human fighter for the 3 starting feats on my alt. Probably the fighter.

I'll usually be on anywhere from 16:00-1:00 (CDT)

[Yagyu]

hard to say when ill be on but my character is Juubei Yagyu hes a human fighter. Doin village missions now

[Zekeen]

My character has been made now on cannith, Zekeen to make it easy to find me. Rogue/Fighter, I call my character type a "treasure hunter". I disable traps, pick locks, find doors, and beat the crap out of whatever comes out.

My play times are about weekdays at 9am-12:30pm, central standard time, which is GMT -6, also normally have about 10pm-1am CST open. so that'd be....

3:00-6:30 16:00-21:00 GMT

And there's various times throughout the day I can play, but it's odd timing. Same with weekends, no idea when I have access exactly.

[SunWuKong]

Fighter named Rutiger.
PST (GMT -8)
Sunday & Monday (mornings are best), some evenings 19:00-22:00 could work.

Doing village quests. Once I get to a mailbox and sort out the money thing, I'll jump to Cannith.
Banzai!

[Svage]

I'll usually be on anywhere from 16:00-1:00 (CDT)

What exactly is CDT? is that supposed to be CST? I am in Mountian timezone (GMT-7), so I am converting everything to my timezone for ease of tracking. lol

And what are you playing again class wise?

[CecilArcelle]

CDT is Central Daylight Time, it's in effect only during Daylight Savings Time, and gives a time of GMT -5. Normally, I am CST (GMT -6), but because of DST, I go to CDT.

[Svage]

um, What server is everyone on again? I am on Cannith, not carnath. So is Zek and there is a Juubei there, but not a Juubei Yagyu, or a Ilinix Darivos. Let me know! HArd to play together if we are on different servers, as Yag and I found with 12sky 2

[CecilArcelle]

Yup, I'm on that server.

His name is Ilinx.

It seems you've added an extra I.

[Yagyu]

Yea sav Juubei is me surname is Yagyu i just havent had much chance to play, been busy with RL

[Svage]

ahh, Ok, I'll add you both. I may restart my character, or save my cleric to travel with you. Make a rogue cleric. Oohhh.. Holy Backstabbing!!!! sweeet!! lol
My main rogue is L3 now, 2 rogue, 1 fighter for the extra feat. So far we have a couple of tanks, a wizzy, and a sneaky fighter. We should all plan on meeting up at a specific time so we can group and get the tough settings done. I wanna find some good loot on an elite mission, but not many missions need a catburglar specialist... or not many people have the patience to let my rogues do what they do best. scout and backstab.

[Gheari]

Guess I'm not going to be a monk... But I'm going to be someone named Erskine. Okay I think I'm going to be a cleric instead.

[Yagyu]

Monks and warforged arent free. Just a heads up.

[CecilArcelle]

Monks and warforged arent free. Just a heads up.

Neither are favored souls or drow :)

[Zekeen]

I wonder if it's possible to earn more store points by just playing, if so, then you can get those for free

[Svage]

yeah, you can earn the favor points by playing missions, Not sure how fast you can earn them, but I have heard several people talking about it.

[CecilArcelle]

From what I understand when I got my first fifty, you get them everytime you level up in someone's favor.

[Gheari]

I'll be on for most of today, so far I'm a level 2 warpriest type cleric, I'll probably take a level of warrior for the weapon proficiencies though.

[otomotopia]

I'll be on this on monday.

[Sokuku Ishimaru]

So everyone plays on the Cannith server? Ill be on, named 'Malkur'

Not sure what race/class yet, what do we need? We should start a guild.

[Svage]

we have rogues, a wizard, a cleric style (more combat that healer looks like) and several fighters. A palladin or bard would be usefull. Both are great at helping the group in general.

we should really try to get several of us on at the same time. I am available most weekdays from about 10am mountain till about 5 pm mountain, and sporradically other than that.

My brother also started playing, although he's not a Tatsumaki member.

He has a Paladin and a Rogue.

Hey now, I heal when I have to, but I don't just sit around and wait for the next person to need healing. But other than that, yes I agree that we should all try to get on at the same time. I'm not available the same hours Svage is, so it may be hard to get a good game going (possibly extreme challenge) on a weekday. However I have to say that it's a little disappointing that I've only managed to meet up with Zekeen this weekend.

[Svage]

hey, What times can you be on, I can usually rearange my schedule to get on at a specific time if needed. Let me know when you need me and I will be on.

[otomotopia]

I'll go paladin then. Do you need party heals, mostly? Or should I throw some DPS in there?

*Edit*: My name is Kaisuba Sotomoto.

[Svage]

Well, We can work on that as we go. Start with whatever you want and we can spec you later. I just like playing super sneaks, Or Ug Thug warriors. I have a habit if being know as the brick in desktop DnD.

[Tokanawa]

Wow, I've only been gone for a few weeks and everyone's jumped onto a new game. I'll take a look at it. If we can get a consistent group of people playing then it'd be more of an attraction.

[Svage]

well, I have been able to group with Zekeen mostly. I have been keeping one character back to try and group with prople around the starting area, but I have 2 in stormreach itself now.

[otomotopia]

I'm on right now.

*Edit* If anyone wants help with the beginner island city, im a lvl 2 pally who one hits most mobs.

[Gheari]

I can usually be on after 5:00 PM EST weekdays, or any time after I get up, probably after 8:00 AM(an extreme luxury for me), on weekends. BTW I'm home sick today so I will be playing.

[Tokanawa]

Well I registered and started playing. Name's Khalev Wintersong on Cannith.

[Ronin]

What a coincidence, you guys joined as well?

I'm currently a level 5 Cleric trying to do all the free stuff before I pay for anything (I'm cheap when it comes to online gaming). Name's Viha ingame, send me a tell or a friends request and I may just pop in to help you out, although I'm mainly playing with my one friend, and won't generally be on if he isn't, so I may be rather busy.

Oh, and I play on Cannith server.

[SunWuKong]

So, yesterday I found the quest that gives a +4 Level Cap as a reward.
Stormreach - Harbor - Leaky Dinghy tavern.

(On as 'Ogodei')

The rewards for quests once you get to Stormreach are random, so you're just one lucky bastard :P

Oh, I've also got a level 2 Monk character now whose name is Tralin.

[Gheari]

At this point my level cap is 12, but I haven't been able to play for a while. More on that later.

[yuir]

why not ill give it a try it will be the same name as this if its not taken

[HeniuriSaito]

I have never played DDO before, but I'll give it a looksie.

Verily, I second that. Though I'm not a fan of slaying green monsters, but it might be fun with a cool party.
