I do hope they can get the lag under some restraint and control by that day, as it is a Saturday, so it's peak/primetime hours for the DDO game worlds. Would be sad that new viewers would see the players stuck standing in place, hitching and unable to use doors, and eventually dying to lag wipes like we've been going through the past month on the 64 bit worlds. Just saying.Cool, now about the lag.....

Yes, a shame indeed

To fix the lag/bugs in DDO, they need to shut the game down for 3-6 months. That is not an investment they want to do. But I would be VERY happy to keep paying my sub through that downtime if the game comes back flawless.

I suggest not using Shadowdale or Thrane because they are both still a streaming pile of lag and worse since Chill launched.

Maybe they will do the livestream on 32-bit server and pretending to be on 64-bit server. It may work to attract new people, who innocently think DDO is a lag free game

I've been hanging out on Moonsea lag free for most part puggin' and chuggin' Nothing like the other servers. I've had a few awesome pug runs on Cormyr. Keep in mind I play on all 4 after playing on all 8 with Sarlona/Orien as mains. I like all the new servers about the same. I just have less lag on Moonsea, so I'm there a bit more often right now. Slow walking the new expansion there for immersion.

DDO annonced they set up on Bluesky a while back. I don't see that icon below. Still has old Twitter Bird as well in thread footer.
Not sure if DDO posts there. I will look at some point, since you mentioned, and I don't read it being pushed anywheres (Bluesky).

IMO there are already too many icons in the thread footer. Best to be good at a few, rather than suck at all from being spread too thin. In the moment, as a reaction to my own statement without much thought, I would pick FB, Bluesky and Reddit aside from DDO Forums.how much traffic do they get on twitch VS discord, any idea?
ps: bluesky and X are much like the forums. Guess they don't have the bandwidth to span so many platforms either. Like STEAM, where it's game is also available.

bluesky is a definite no for me. I checked it out once, too may loud voices, all screaming about nothing.

I can only handle Facebook and DDO Forum, but usually I'm DDOing whilst Foruming. I'm afflicted with job.

Found the Bluesky annoncement, but not my pillow yet:
EDIT ~ Heads up use the link in the post above. If you try and search Bluesky for Dungeons and Dragons...well you've been warned. Just went there and did that, so I felt the need to find the annoucement and paste here.

We’re getting an in-game event in Q4 with “Fey shenanigans”, as the producer’s letter put it.
My personal guess is SSG will use this event to release the free quests coupon. In the past, they’ve liked to do codes for PAX events.
(It’s also not a shock that they plan to do this earlier in the day to try to potentially minimize the lag. It also wouldn’t surprise me if they went the rout of doing it on non-public test world so there’s less chance of tomfoolery by non-participants. Not that I’d give anyone ideas or anything.)
