between PoE and DDO. Both offer unique character development, DDO is slowlier, but there is more time for experiences, PoE is faster and failures mostly result in rerolling a new char.
My preferred playstyle is to either blow them to hell or make them fight on my side. In DDO this is perfectly doable by rolling an Enchantment Wizard. In PoE it's doable too. Both games will take me a long time to reach my goal - so it's not a matter of time. But which one should I choose first? PoE or DDO? There is the significant difference because of ARPG and MMORPG but else there's none. DDO has no housing, that PoE will get at August 20th. I don't know. Do you? |

" What can never be lent or earned?
Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i? |

DDO is Dungeons & Dragons Online.

Play both. Or neither. Why ask us?

I have played both, and I can definitely say PoE.
For one, the game system behind PoE just lends itself better to a video game setting than DDO's take on DnD does. But more importantly, in DDO there is a point - less than halfway through your character's maximum progress - where you hit the wall of Freemium hard. That is, around level 9 or 10, you basically run out of free content to progress with. Unless you shell out an enormous amount of money (or worse, pay a monthly subscription), pretty much every level-suitable quest after the early game is unavailable to you and you are stuck grinding the same below-level quests possibly thousands of time to progress your character to clear the massive level gaps between free content. I have heard arguments that it is possible using in-game point acquisition to unlock the pay-restricted content, but in practice this is tedious and frustrating and could take thousands of hours. Essentially, although DDO claims it is free-to-play, it is only about one quarter's worth of a F2P game. With PoE, on the other hand, if you spend thousands of hours in this game, you have probably made some significant accomplishments, not just opened up a handful of late-game quests. PoE actually, honestly, has all content accessible for free, and you can keep progressing to the end game without ever giving them money. But you should, because we as a gaming community have a responsibility to encourage and support GGG's continual awesomeness. EDIT: Although it has been three or four years since I played DDO; the situation may have changed. But I doubt it. Last edited by fireinakasha#0685 on Aug 1, 2014, 7:24:29 PM
