Episodes 3 and 4 now available! Due to some issues with my editing software I had to upload these simultaneously as separate videos, even though I originally intended them to be a single episode. I bumped the FPS on the recording to 60 and it wasn't playing nice with that it seems. So that's why Episode 4 doesn't have an intro and Episode 3 ends abruptly.

If you like these videos and have particular topics you want me to talk about as I record them please post a comment over on YouTube and let me know.

Love the idea behind this.

There are lots of barriers on being full F2P. Some of them make zero sense.

Ultimately - the fact that DDO can be played for free, makes it a game worth checking out. Many Premium and VIP players started out that way. And I'm sure we've all played with amazing people/guildies, who are even pure F2P. Which is why segregating the community, is a really bad idea. But that's a discussion for another thread.

Keep em coming Axel! I will be showing this series to friends who haven't tried DDO yet.

If you are making videos to help new players, have you considered making a video with a new download and install guide? Lots of people have client/directx/loading up the game issues.

Either way, great videos!
