Vip is a joke, what do we get a little bump in XP and a gold roll once a week. Sad
You're leaving many things out. The ones off the top of my head are:10% run speed in public spaces
5% XP bonus
1% buddy bonus inside quests
Elite open on Hardcore
Thatās it. Those are each nice but they arenāt āmany other VIP benefitsā like you say.
When a person continues to put out mistruths what is that called? I'm not saying but your post puts you in that category.Vip is a joke, what do we get a little bump in XP and a gold roll once a week. Sad
If you, like you say, are not getting:Say what you want about me, but thats all I get out of it!
Extra bank space and elite opener on my home server and ability to play any race and all content up through Vecna expansion minus two adventure packs are not coming from my VIP subscription because I already have all of that even without VIP.If you, like you say, are not getting:
- Extra bank space
- Elite opener on your main server (not just Hardcore)
- Ability to play any race
- Added content in updates are included at no additional cost
- Discounts on expansions
- 500 DDO points per month

Easy question. Answer = When enough current subscribers cancel that the revenue drops enough to justify the cost of them doing the work.when are we going to actually get VIP benefits that were talked about 6 months ago.

As is, they clearly feel that there are enough VIP subs that their dev time is better spent elsewhere.
Active/recurring subscriptions are a key metric for the MMO industry. It was referenced multiple times in the financials and presentations during the acquisition by EG7.Why else would they just sit on the planned updates to the system? If there was money in it they would have fixed it several months to a year ago.
Just a thought, but maybe Hanlon's Razer? The person working on the VIP perks project died. I can't even count how many times I've had work come to a halt because someone saved their part of a project on their desktop, instead of some sort of shared access place. If that happened here, all of that work would be lost and they'd have to start from scratch. I don't know that this happened with the VIP perks project, but it really wouldn't surprise me.Why else would they just sit on the planned updates to the system?
There is an xp bonus so some people pay for it? Others say they are supporting the game? No clue I haven't been vip in a while. I see alot of people unhappy the new destiny isn't free to vip. Destinies use to be I think.The sad thing is, when SSG actually requested input from the community 18 months ago, many suggestions were offered.
SSG did nothing.
Then the goodwill gesture that was Daily Gold Roles ended (exactly when they said they would), and players were eagerly anticipating the new and improved VIP offerings.
SSG did nothing.
So players started suggesting many, many ideas for VIP again. Others posted their belief that SSG was waiting for the Producerās Letterāsurely SSG took some of the suggestions that were offered after they made the request.
SSG did nothing.
I suppose enough VIP subscriptions were canceled/not renewed during the first several weeks of the year following the end of the Daily Gold Rolls, because SSG scrambled to pull together a half-baked idea that was not well-received by the community. Once again, all the suggestions for VIP gets rehashed by the community.
Once again, SSG did nothing.
At this point, anyone still paying for VIP finds value in the current offering. Other players chose to close their walletsāthe damage has already been done. Either way, any changes forthcoming for VIP subscriptions will have minimal impact. Sure, there are some players in the middle that will be enticed by some new VIP offerings, but I suspect it is not an overwhelming number.
Thereās no point in making more suggestions. SSG is going to do whatever SSG does.
If I have bought bank space, all my toons can open elite, I have all the races and have ddo points...do I need vip? A weekly gold roll? They put alot of fluff in those prizes. Though it is fun to take a random guildie and mail them 1 bigby hand at a time, getting an 80 or more on your gold roll has gotten really watered down.You're leaving many things out. The ones off the top of my head are:
- Gold roll, weekly
- Extra bank space
- Elite opener on your main server (not just Hardcore)
- Ability to play any race
- Added content in updates are included at no additional cost
- Discounts on expansions
- 500 DDO points per month
Yep.If I have bought bank space, all my toons can open elite, I have all the races and have ddo points...do I need vip? A weekly gold roll? They put alot of fluff in those prizes.

Added content on vip? I don't have a dog in that fight but seems like whatever is recent you are paying for it. Like others I let vip go.
VIP never had access to expansion packs, just adventure packs.Yep.
In the last 3 years, there have been just 2 adventure packs that a VIP would have gotten access to.
2 adventure packs and *4* expansion packs that VIP don't get to access at no additional cost - even though that was the main point of VIP once upon a time.
VIP had access to all content up until they started making Expansion Packs specifically to make VIPs pay for content on top of their subscriptions. MotU made sense because it was an enormous addition to the game, but in the last few years DDO has pretty much turned off the tap for adventure packs and changed over to Expansion Packs for the large majority of new content - even when there isnāt any more content in the expansion than would go into an adventure pack. All to make sure that VIPs have to pay extra for the content.VIP never had access to expansion packs, just adventure packs.
They haven't been able to follow through as quickly as they would have liked as the developer that was working on those updates unexpectedly passed. (R.I.P. Humble Friar) So until they can get someone to replace him on that project, we are here waiting.Iād say nice try, but Iād be lying.
Apparently youāre completely unaware that they added daily gold rolls for VIPs as a stop gap measure to add value back to VIP after they stripped so much of it away. They were also supposed to come up with something worthwhile and permanent and have so far completely failed to bring anything even remotely worthwhile to be the table.
