It seems that DDO is going to become free to play and there's a rumor that there might be a Neverwinter Nights MMO coming in 2011.

Edit: Oops, meant to put this in the computer section. Can someone move it? Sigh, don't post when half awake. And I see Ashe also heard about DDO becoming free. :) She/he did post it first but in another thread.
Mod Edit: Shifted to a more appropriate shelf. |

Lawsuits... another reason I'm glad I don't play (most) computer games any more.  |

Thanks for the news, Kuje.
NWN likely to become an MMO, hmmm. I'm not surprised that's a route they'd choose to take, although as I've said before that style of play currently holds no appeal for me. |

well atleast it sounds like you can still play, just the free stuff trickles off as you level, and just don't plan on doing PvP.
Plus its also only available in the US... |

Okay, going to nip this in the bud. My avatar's male because I'm male...  I chose the name Ashe after my favorite character (half-elf ranger from 2nd edition circa 1997) who's named after a certain shotgun-wielding-chainsaw-for-a-hand Sam Raimi creation.
Grin, sorry.

Heh, I like the "Still Online" in the title. 
This, however... quote:
Unsurprisingly, the free to play client will be funded by micropayment extras – “hundreds of convenience items as well as premium dungeon packs, additional character slots, hirelings (hired muscle), potions, character customization and more”, apparently. We’ll find out this summer whether these are strictly optional thrills, or are essential to truly enjoying the game – always a risk with this business model.
That to me takes away a lot of the positive impact of the word "free". Free-but-not-really-free isn't the same as free. |
