it's possible to do that - I share my patch folder on my LAN so my wife can copy the files at ~100mbps.

4.0.1 is several GB tho', IIRC, and might even take two DVDs.

Wait, Turbine offered Lifetime again? I was hoping they would, but I never saw it up on their page - or here.

Congratulations on your promotion, Rubi =)

"However, there is a catch to this code -- it can only be used for 500 Massively readers who will be invited to the beta when the next wave of invites goes out."

The two giant brothers refer to Brawnpits as "uncle," so you might be wrong on the 'Ms. Brawnpits.'

Since you asked for corrections: you can hope for all 20s, but the best you actually get is, what, 2 20s? And then only if you're drow?

Stop crushing my dreams, Syps!

Allowing yourself to fall into the lazy thinking of stereotypes is not at all like being unwilling to adapt to, or learn, new tactics or game mechanics.

Eh, more info is good, sure, but it seems like, from a company that sets up a "floaty names" keyboard toggle as part of the default command layout, there'd have been some thought given to making the dice vs. range a toggled option somewhere.

That's true, AD&D 1st Ed did it that way, but 1st also had attack matrices and a host of other bad ideas that were homebrewed away with such frequency and intensity that TSR's reps at cons started thinking "hey, maybe we need a major revision."

Not to mention: DDO is based on the 3rd Edition, and, in my opinion, is at its best when it faithfully brings to life the feel of D&D3E.

I'm pretty sure issuing a blanket dismissal of the concerns of everyone you disagree with is a form of elitism.

I'm also pretty sure posting a comic mocking the hardcore gamer's insistance on a challenge is an inappropriate response to an article about building bridges instead of "going with your gut" and pushing people away.
