The timing is certainly bad, but probably mostly because there seem to be no or little marketing and PR people that help them with delivering their messages or gating that info that should not be communicated right now.<br /><br />In the old days Cryptic had NCSoft to do much of the front exposure work for them, since they were the publisher. They are now learning (hopefully) that the other pieces outside of developing a game might need a reasonable effort and good people as well.Sentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570997712400769232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-46062101354235911522010-01-29T23:32:05.193-08:002010-01-29T23:32:05.193-08:00@Jaydub: it's a solid game imo.

There's nothing else that plays much like among MMOs I've tried.<br /><br />On your first play through, I'd recommend that you use one of the character templates they provide. The systems of the game itself will give you plenty of fits, you don't want to be messing with the deepest character development system this side of EVE at the same time you are learning it.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-67416774359794478792010-01-29T17:27:33.194-08:002010-01-29T17:27:33.194-08:00I think I might give DDO a try considering that it...I think I might give DDO a try considering that it's free and all.Jayedubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437007861375094683noreply@blogger.com
