    Our 20th Anniversary Festivities have been extended!

    Will we be able to turn in the 20th Anniversary Token at a later date to a different iteration of Miina d'Kundarak in the Hall of Heroes? Will we be able to turn Timeline Fragments at a later date the way we can turn in Party Favors? Thanks, -yav

    The Symphony of the Fey Event Arrives November 19th!

    At least they gave us three months this time! Well...two and a half.... I think they still forget that median age of DDO subscribers is approaching 40. We have work, families, and lives, SSG! Give us a little extra time to enjoy this kind of event! -yav

    Poll: Shared Bank Size vs. Lag – Community Input Requested

    Given the restrictions relating to datasets coming from polls via the DDO forum, my goal was to raise awareness to the devs about the impact of overflowing Shared Banks and TR Caches as a possible idea to consider regarding their express goal to address gelatinous cube-level lag. I found it a...

    Poll: Shared Bank Size vs. Lag – Community Input Requested

    My hypothesis is that those with massive shared bank inventories are pulling bandwidth from the general pool (you techy folks can translate that into actual industry lingo if you would be so kind), thus affecting everyone on the server, with additional impact in the proximity of the area where...

    Poll: Shared Bank Size vs. Lag – Community Input Requested

    Re: 5k+ items, I have heard multiple instances of this and wanted to include that population in the poll. Terrible lag relating to Reincarnation Caches is exactly the same kind of lag I'm looking at now with Shared Banks. Thank you for affirming that large caches of items prompts lag for you!

    Poll: Shared Bank Size vs. Lag – Community Input Requested

    DDO only allows for one question per poll, so I chose to focus on the population who is experiencing lag. Regarding server population, it is a given that more people = more lag (that is what stress tests are for). I am looking at a different relationship than server population.

    Poll: Shared Bank Size vs. Lag – Community Input Requested

    I'm conducting a poll to help identify whether there's a relationship between accounts experiencing significant lag and the number of items in that account's shared bank. I envision that many veterans to the game took advantage of the "empty their inventories into the shared bank; /transfer...

    A quick update.

    If I was a bettin' man (and I'm not), I'd venture to guess that the massive lag is the result of each account having a shared bank with thousands of items in it with a max capacity of only a few hundred items. This would be why Lordsmarch Bank is the laggiest area on Xen'drik (from the transfer...

    This week's coupon code is forbidden!

    It does. You need to use Alt+0220 to get a capital Ü and then indicate that the "Ü" needs to be replaced with a "U".

    Well, here we are.

    @Mary I personally thought that there should have been a 24-hour moratorium on new character creation on the new servers, as that would have allowed active players to get their names, and then the devs could open up the floodgates for players to take any names from those who did not diligently...

    Transfer Guidance for our upcoming 64-bit server transfers

    I cannot seem to find this on the Transfer Guidance web page: do I need to store my guild amenities or can I simply leave them be? Thanks, -yav

    Do I need to set my game launcher to 64 bit to play on Cormyr?

    I noticed in the game settings of the DDO launcher that there are three settings (64-bit, 32-bit and 32-bit unsupported legacy client). I recall from years ago that switching from 64-bit to 32-bit helped address a launcher bug, and it's remained 32-bit ever since. Are these relevant to Cormyr...

    Downtime Notice: Wednesday, June 14th 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT)

    When I read the patch notes saying the devs were addressing the ranged attack speed issue, I was hopeful. It doesn't make any sense to write it in the downtime patch notes if it isn't going to be addressed. I don't pretend to know the difficulties that maintaining a seventeen-year-old game...

    Bow speed / rapid shot bug

    This bug is also present for rapid reload as it interacts with Communion of Scribing and haste. The attack speed stat shows 21% regardless of whether Communion is active or not (Communion claims to give 15% attack speed), and then post-cast, the rate of speed drops dramatically. The only...
