Well the forum lag has cleared up as far as I can tell. Makes me want to relog into DDO but I'm afraid to be disappointed. I didn't know about that damn Djinn treasure boost until like a week ago and I haven't been the most frequent player over the years so I've been trying to catch up on some...

Seems to me this forum is also lagging maybe they started using the servers to mine bitcoin.

Your official post says "ending when we bring the game worlds down at 9:00 AM Eastern." I assume you mean "for a server restart" not some sort of "we're shutting down" announcement? I

Well I finally came full circle with Myosin over the past few weeks. Myosin was a 20 Monk the entire time between October 2024 (when the NPC pathing was severely damaged for months) and August 2025. But now Myosin is a 24 Druid so I guess I am considering the game playable again. I'm glad...

Well, as much as the rubber banding freaked me the heck out today I did have a relatively uneventful week in the lag department - and by "relatively" I mean much much better than Oct/Nov 2024, and much much better than when Thrane first was accepting transfers but I have had pretty regular small...

Yeah, I thought about that, I'm just trying to finish 5000 favor to get a tome before I TR so there's a lot of low level favor I could gather where lag wouldn't be fatal, just annoying. But I don't know that I want to get myself all excited again over DDO since when I run Legendary Elite solo...

I know I shoudn't try to play daytime on the weekends but I know I shouldn't be afraid to play daytime on the weekends either. I mean, it kinda really sucks that I actually think about DDO like a game I should only try to play between 2am and 8am EST during weekdays. I'm going to hold out to...

The last thing I want is them to put all those bloated UE5 shaders into DDO. Do you know an entirely empty UE5 project - rendering literally only the background grey - runs at less than 60 fps with the default shader package with 100% usage of my 4GB 1050-TI? I mean, it's not a great card and...

Just logged off for dying from rubber-banding for 3 minutes straight. I suppose for the record it was White Plume Mountain Legendary Elite and I think it may have been caused by the water - specifically getting in and out of the water. After I died and released it seemed the rest of the game...

The game worked fine for over a decade with mob gathering on melee. It only appears to be a source of lag because last October they did something to the pathing algorithm that caused mobs and hirelings to just stand around. This bug lasted over a month and it was a pain in the butt to melee...

I sorta have trouble believing this has anything to do with it but if you have a dev source that says they were struggling with database capacity on 32-bit I'm all ears. I mean, it's 4GB per database *file* - you can have as many 4GB database files as you want for any 32-bit application. You...

I think someone else could buy the game as long as there's money to be made - depending on what the IP arrangement is with WotC. But your sentiment is shared - playing DDO feels like I'm driving a used car that's about to finally blow a head gasket or something and it's felt that way for over...

Well, I haven't been playing since last October but I came back for the transfers hoping things might be fixed from last October. At least the enemies don't just stand around like when I stopped playing last year. I've been playing STO since then - it like literally never lags. But man is it...

I played (meaning "adventured" - I've done some banking before and after transferring) for about 1 1/2 hours this evening for the first time since last October - seemed to be going alright. There ware a few short hickups but it seemed playable for Fri 4-6 pm EST and the reports I've been...

Honestly though it doesn't have to because it's D&D - the game is first and foremost enjoyed for its rules (though PnP looks too slow and boring for me). I just bought Icewind Dale EE last month - haven't played it before now. Also bought FO1 & 2 which I haven't played before either.

This post sounds hopeful for me. I haven't been playing really at all since last October, but many of my characters are over 10 years old so it's not like I've given up on them. After I transferred them on Tuesday I did some much needed inventory sorting and noticed some lag just wandering...

Woohoo, finally transfers done and it seems from a very cursory overview that the results were good. I guess all my arrows I had dumped naked into crafting storage got converted into regular ole "100 Arrows" instead of whatever they were but that's no big loss (if they were even +5 Holy Arrows...

Yes, but there are not thousands of "literally endless" D&D games. You can claim D&D isn't something special, but it very much is. This game should be widely regarded as monumental, if not pinnacle, in D&D history but it has been plagued by technical problems and waffling administration since...

I was hoping they had reenabled transfers but I noticed that wasn't explicitly stated on the X post I saw from DDO so I didn't get my hopes up too much. Then, sure enough, still no transfers. I transferred one character to test it works around the beginning of the month, then I went to sleep...

Well, I hope that goes well for everyone who doesn't transfer before Aug 31 but I'd really rather not risk trying to transfer from a "ghost server" or whatever it's supposed to be when they shut down the gameplay of the 32 bit servers. For example, DDO announced we'd have free transfers until...
