I'm a couple bubbles from level 4, and already sick of kobolds.

Everytime I hit them..."morkmorkmorkmork"

Thats just in your imagination. Luckily after the harbour you don't see them even close to as often.

Anyone have an idea why TurbineMessageService.exe won't go away? Kind of pissing me off.

Oh and there's two of them.

Edit: I ended the processes, and they open right back up... one is around 5000k, the other is 90,000k. They're both taking up CPU cycles and fucking with my hard drive and internet connection.

If you're playing for the first time, they have it set up to get you playing right away and it continues downloading the rest of the game in the background for quite a while. That's what the process might be.

No, I've been playing for days. The process just would not go away no matter how many times I ended it. Only rebooting fixed the problem.

Entaru · September 2009

Alright, I'm downloading this now to play with you folks.

I'll probably make a Paladin seeing as Monks aren't free(If I like the game I'll probably pay to unlock the Monk).

Draeven · September 2009

if you play long enough you can just unlock the monk for free.

I like the sound of that.

edit: I guess I should ask if any particular class is needed right now in group make up?

troublebrewing · September 2009

queue to get on Cannith dizamnnnnnnn

Draeven · September 2009

someone was saying rogue, but we have quite a few rangers, not sure if they can pick locks and sense traps too though. Also not suprising cannith has a que, its free to play and actualy a quality game. As long as you dont try to play it like a real MMO.

captaink · September 2009

I have a turbine account, but no former DDO subscription. Do I have to make a fresh account for all this?

They just auto added it to my Turbine account.

Beoulve · September 2009

Just dled this game and started trying it out.
I'm planning on making a bard, but I can try another class if there any other ones that are needed.

I put in some support request, but I don't know how long this will take.

Nothing happened automatically, I tried to log in and it told me I don't have an active DDO subscription on this account.

No more rangers, we have like 4 now.

We have one bard in the whole guild. But really play whatever you want, the guild seems to be filling out nicely. I will be adding more officers to the guild as i notice who is the most active out of us. That way i can try to have it so there is a better chance of officers being on.

Elimination · September 2009

Current list of officers/leader:

Kanen
Morkath
Ilhidrin
Tajune
Kaylan
Kristopf
Reynna
Shale

Well it's good to know someone is in the exact position I am in right now, came here looking to see if anyone had any idea as to how I could go about getting a key to plug into my existing Turbine account. I guess I'll wait to see if support gets back to me or if anyone has a way to do this.

I will make a new Turbine account if I have to, but I'd rather not if I can have everything all linked up since they are the same company after all.

Xzean · September 2009

Anyone else having this weird bug where their clothes stop showing up and their face goes to default? Relogging, restarting, unequiping, zoning and any combination of these haven't fixed it. And it has happened to two different characters AND my husbands.

delroland · September 2009

Got an elf rogue on Cannith: Agielle.

Not really playing that much though. Also, the 750 island kills quest is retarded. Meh, at least it'll get me to level 3 though.

eatmosushi · September 2009

uh, would anyone be interested in making me an account?

i somehow keep getting shoved to some weird turbine trial site every time i submit my info and no account gets made

I've never had this happen, and i've never heard of it. I know on my old PC when i played this in 06 this used to happen when my PC didnt load the clothes for a little while and they'd look like some kind of default clothes for about a minute. But never heard of them randomly changing.

Our highest lvl is lvl 4, so nobody is way up there yet. We've all been running things as a group so far. There appear to be a lot of new people joining up every day though, it started with just Axen and I and now its probably 15+ people? It's only been a few days and at this rate it will be tons. Once you get out of the newbie zone you will be lvl 2 and good to roll with most of the group at the moment. Punchbot got out of the newbie area and joined us on our quests right away.

The correct answer is no, because you stopped doing your BT campaign! -_-

BT? What does that mean? o_O

Varega never held up his side of the bargain and i decided to go halfway around the world. I'm not opposed to rebooting it next week. I'll send out PMs.

eatmosushi · September 2009

yeah, can someone make me an account? i'll um

send you some gold once i get into the game and such. just pm me my account details etc.

Yeah I thought that might be it so I did 3 dungeons and it never changed. Man is it annoying, like not gonna play goddamnit annoying.

yes please!

Also I actually spent some of the free points they gave me. There was a quiver in the shop that has 4 slots, of 1500 arrows each.

And I was tired of running out of arrows mid long adventure.

everytime i click SUBMIT at the account creation, the site takes me to a white turbine site that asks me if i want to play ddo for free, which i click, and then it takes me right back to the account creation site, blank.

I needed a name to post. · September 2009

There's a host of errors with the free account signup. Lord knows that every time I've tried, I get

System Error Encountered, please try back again later.

without any further explanation.

Kajusta · September 2009

If I pay for a month, would that open up all the content for me forever?

I really want to make a damn Monk, but I don't know if I'll be able to play him when the sub ends or not. Also, I've heard you can't really level up all that much without getting VIP. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Moridin889 · September 2009

Technically you cant go past 4 without paying, but lo and behold there's an item drop that's relatively easy to get that unlocks it for you.

It's all screwed up right now because its getting supa-slammed with a billion people signing up all at once, it will fix itself soon i'd think.

You can level as much as you want, the unlock items for leveling are quest loot more often than not. So i dunno what you're talking about.

You can play whatever you want, we have a good spread of classes I think.

So I would be better off buying the monk class then?

I kind of want a situation where I can have stuff forever, and not just on a month-to-month basis, especially when it comes to classes.

Skip those. Seriously. Do everything else out there, but the area kill quests? Just get what you get as you explore.

I'll be hopping on Reynna in a few minutes if anyone still needs invites. Troublebrewing, you're fine, send me a tell. ;-)

You just have to ask yourself the real deep questions then because only manly bad dudes can be monks.

Are you a bad enough dude to be a monk?

Ishbu · September 2009

I didn't see in the OP - what server is everyone on? Is there a PA "guild"?
