Free-to-play Dungeons & Dragons MMO Dated
The plan to make the 2006 MMO free-to-play was announced in June. The game will now be supported through sales on its DDO store, which will offer dungeon packs, potions, helper NPCs, character slots and character customization. A new monthly subscription service called "DDO VIP" will provide all premium content and several account bonuses for a monthly price.
The launch of Eberron Unlimited will also be accompanied by the introduction of a new player class, raid zone, and a raising of the level cap.

replyConveniently, it is also free-to-not-play.

conviently, there is only one thing you have to pay for. The adventure packs, warforged race, and the monk class. Outside that, you can get everything else. The leveling sigils do drop (My favored soul got one on a quest reward right after making level 4). You can unlock favored soul and the drow race with favor points you gain from questing. In fact, you would still be doing that since currently, that is the only way to unlock a 32 point attribute pool instead of 28 points.
FYI: the NDA was lifted today as well.-
wait what?? no monk unless you pay?
never mind, not interested again. monk is all i play when we pnp, and was what i played when i trialed the game... and is what id want to play now. i MIGHT consider a one-time fee to unlock the monk, but i wont pay ongoing because i wont play enough to make it worth the money...-

i enjoyed it just fine... but not enough to pay for. hell, the whole reason i didnt by DDO when it first came out was because it didnt have the monk, and i didnt bother to trial it until they finally got it.

no you only have to pay once. and its account wide, so no matter the server, you'll have access to the monk. Its just a flat fee to unlock it. Same with everything else including the adventure packs. People that do have adventure packs and give guess passes to others (which costs them money) to run a dungeon with them that they can't otherwise. Sort of a temp access.

ok, thats reasonable... i dont mind a one-time fee for content at all... its just the whole business model of "pay and pay and pay and pay and pay and pay and pay and pay and... pay some more. forever" that makes me nuts. i just dont have enough time, interest, or focus to play ANY game with the regularity required to make it a good deal...
