Nobody told me there was an MMORPG version of D&D coming out.

Ah, another monthly burden for my credit card

Oh yes I did you cheeky sod :)

It was back in home villas when I was going through all the different MMOs and their various advantages and disadvantages.

I'll stick with NWN if I want to play D&D online... at least it doesn't cost per month :)

Yes, but you'd gotten far enough into it that I would have needed a spreadsheet to follow, and I thought you were talking about NWN. Admittedly, "Dungeons and Dragons Online" is not the hottest bit o' branding I ever saw.

Bah! D&D without rattling dice and piza-stained character sheets is not truly D&D!

Besides, almost all fantasy CRPGs are on some level cribbed from D&D alrady.

hey, the character sheets can be stained with mocha or expresso and greasy fingerprints from the beer-battered halibut too!

I do agree, though, that once you remove the other people from the table (or hot tub), It ceased to really be a D&D experience and becomes just another MMORPG - why did we start calling them that instead of MUDs, anyways?

It's going to be Eberron set, too.

Hmm, I'm somewhat less than whelmed. Admittedly they've only got one page up, but it appears it's going to be massively hack-n-slash oriented. And unless they're just going to rework the Asheron's Call engine, I imagine that '2005' release date will slip a lot.

Regarding the comments about character sheet stains - Chinese take-away is the only way to go!

nope. you are all lacking in style. make something up that can sit in the oven for a few hours and pull it out at the appropriate time.
