Ok I have a little confession to make. While I love Dungeons and Dragons Online to bits, I have strayed a bit by playing other MMORPGs. I have tried Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Hellgate: London, Age of Conan, and just a couple of days ago, World of Warcraft (WoW). Yes, WoW, the game I vowed not to play just because it's the most popular MMO in the planet. I will have to blame my friend Tim for making me play his character.

The game is similar in many ways to DDO and other MMOs in the market, and for the life of me, I cannot see how the game could reign supreme. Honestly, graphics-wise, I'd give my vote to DDO or Age of Conan. In terms of gameplay experience, I can say that it's enough to keep me hooked for a couple of hours. It's not as bad as I thought.

In any MMO, earning gold or plat at the early levels can be tough and it's usually a grind-fest. I do understand why people buy from online sites or gold farmers in the game. My friend Tim didn't have that problem because even before he got hooked to the game, he got hold of the World of Warcraft Gold Guide. He said everything he needed to learn to amass gold in WoW is in that guide. I'm surprised that he is not yet banned from the game. Then when I checked the site (see link), it says it's 100% legal.

I reckon it could be legal, otherwise, this guy who wrote the guide wouldn't be able to post a video and show some proof of what he had amassed in the game (gold, mounts, gears, etc.). DDO has relatively easier way to make money, but if you are a WoW addict, you'd probably be spending sleepless nights just to get 200 gold. I don't like grind-fest so if I decide to play WoW, I'd probably use the guide. For now, I'm sticking to DDO, where I have enough platinum to buy the stuff that  I need. So sad when your character is richer than you. Tsk, tsk.
