This isn’t a game that should be played solo, but if you know how to play the game and use the skillpoints/Feats and Enhancements that can be chosen to their best. You can actually solo quests very far into the game, but you will need to use your resources (potions, wands, scrolls…)
But the fun comes when you start to play and interact with other players. All quests, except for a very few ones, can be entered with 6 characters. So you can wait until you find 5 others to play with that you think will complement your character best. Or you can start earlier and do it with fewer persons. Often just 2-4 characters can safely complete the quests around your lvl if they play together.
Lvl cap is at lvl 20 now and you can choose between Fighter, Barbarian, Ranger, Paladin, Cleric, Favored Soul, Rogue, Bard, Wizard, Sorcerer, Monk or a combination thereof. Add to that the fact that you can choose between many different races (Human, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Warforged or Drow) that gives different benefits both at starting lvl and further up. All this gives you a huge variety of characters that you can create and play. Will you create a Warforged Sorcerer that can heal himself and blast enemies into flames or a more careful elven wizard that buffs his friends and just occasionally use offensive spells? Will your dwarven cleric become a battlecleric or be a pure healer keeping the others healthy? Will your drow ranger be the new Robin Hood or the new Drizzt? Will you give your human sorcerer a divine boost with a lvl of cleric to be able to use healing scrolls and wands to be of further use to the party? Will you combine your rogueskills with the music of the bard to be able to both remove possible traps and heal himself if a trap explodes while you tinker with it? The possibilities are endless. Only your imagination sets the limits. And since you can have 16 different characters on each server, you have alot of slots to experiment with.
Between each lvl you will reach 4 ranks. Each rank gives you one Action Point that you can use to improve your character by learning new enhancements from trainers. I like this feature since it gives the character a feel of continuing development instead of a sudden boom of knowledge when he reaches a new lvl.
I don’t know how the majority is on all servers, but the one I play on have many helpful members and even a stupid question will be answered and new players will, for the most time, be able to find someone experienced to help them if they ask. I’ve found players to be much more helpful in this game than other MMO games I’ve played (like WoW). Since normal quests takes a while longer here you get to know other players as well, you learn which players can play and their strengths, and just as important you learn which characters that can’t play or simply are there for their own sake and doesn’t care about others.
There are downsides to this game and that comes when you reach the higher lvls. You need to repeat certain quests often to have a decent chance to get the good items you need to be able to be of much use in the tougher quests. Some quests takes more than 1 hour and doesn’t guarantee that you get what you want in the end anyway. And most extraordinary items are bound to the character that picks them up first, so you can enter a long tough quest with your rogue and in the end find yourself with the ring that you’ve been hunting for with your ranger for weeks and with no chance to give it to him.
I’ve been playing this game on and off for almost 3 years now. I tire of it for a while, but I always find myself coming back after a month or three. I left WoW 6 months ago and don’t miss it at all, and I did play a lot of characters up to around lvl 60 before I tired of it.
DDO also gives continues updates for free. Unlike WoW you don’t need to buy each new add-on when it is released, when something new is added to this game you download it automatically and when it’s done you have the new options available to you. No need to run to the store to buy the latest expansion just to be able to find the new powerful weapons or enter the new areas, you get them for your monthly fee.
I won’t say this is a perfect game, because it isn’t. But of the MMO I’ve played over the years, it is the best overall. At least if you enjoy playing with others more than play alone. And I, for one, think that is the point with a MMO. If I wanted to play a RPG solo there are other great games to play instead that doesn’t cost money each month.
