I wouldn't worry about DDO beta. They should have a free trial soon after release, if you know what I mean!

Does this "subscribing" thing imply me giving them... money?
It probably does, actually, although it doesn't say that on the thingy I posted. |

It does. If you really want in you have to have a fileplanet sub, which is $7 for one month or $40 for a year. If you're into betas, it's not a bad deal since they offer quite a few over the course of the year, as well as other nice downloads.
It's not something I'd reccommend if you were just looking to check-out DDO.

I am a recent first time subscriber to Fileplanet (bought a one year sub) and I am quite happy with it so far. I can go to the frontpage and learn about all the newest demos/games coming out without having to wade through shit sites like Gamespot. I also like their download manager.

Is there still an NDA? I'll try it if I'm allowed to talk about it.

Well, I'm going to say I don't like DDO.
The install I got through my FilePlanet account had a few corrupted files....
I'm so close to cancelling my account; the service has gone to shit since IGN took over....why am I not suprised?

I don't use BitTorrent, which I am not convinced is worth any hassle.
I don't like waiting.
Between the $5 or so that I pay each month for it, the free stuff I've gotten through it, it's been worthwhile for me. Fuck slow downloads that I have to actually Hunt for.

I don't pay for it, I just allow for the hour or so time spent in queue when I use them, which isn't often. And once you do start the download, their servers are nice and fast. Alkiera |

I really wish would go away. I want to discuss this a bit. Ah well it looks like most of you that want to are getting in. Those that can't, like Shiz, Um..I think will let me say it's very full, and we all know what happens to full servers. Try earlier in the day or much later at night. |

The beating a dead horse awards went to Grimwell, Terra Nova, and Escapist Magazine. I'd give the award to f13.net too, if we didn't ignore the dead horse. But we do, and the frontpage is lacking for it. I'm ok with that.
One person's dead horse is another's desire to clarify. It only takes one person in a community to actually like the game everyone else hates/has-quit-from to be condemned to horse beating status. Makes it hard to profess enjoyment for anything. Also makes it funny when the print media tries to get in the act, having to say things like CGW did this month about the horrors of having to rereview a game thay haven't played in three years because it's no longer what they reviewd ;) Is that beating a dead horse or recognizing something is new? And as to DDO? Fine game, been testing it on and off for months. Will it sell well enough though? NDA. |

I really dont understand if anyone can get it from FP (no longer just subscribers) how can there be an NDA? I mean, EVERYONE can play it right? So we can all play but we can't talk about it to eachother? That is just retarded, unless there is something I'm missing (there is right?). I can see them wanting to reduce the amount of spoiler sites before the game launches or something but otherwise what is the logic?

There's a NDA because I noticed the other day some vault forum moderators firmly believe you are breaking the NDA by saying you are not in the Beta... It's almost certain that if time travel is invented before DDO is released, then a crack Turbine hit squad will travel back to 1938 and prevent Gary Gygax being born. Edit bloody spell checker, knew I was right to fear it. |
