DDO Struggling Financially

[Jed961]

Here is why I think Dungeons and Dragons Online is not making very much money.

The game worlds are supposedly offline because items are missing from reincarnation caches. It does not seem like a big deal to me because I do not use reincarnation caches. I imagine there are lots of players who do not use these reincarnation caches and besides, even if an item or two is out of place it should not affect every player.

If DDO was making lots of money then the servers would be constantly backed up, code would be inspected more frequently, and a better understanding of where things are would be had. Clearly this is not the case as items have disappeared from these reincarnation caches.

If I were in charge then I would power the servers back up then determine the value of these reincarnation caches. Afterwards, players would be compensated for their items in these reincarnation caches. I do not even use the reincarnation cache yet now am unable to play. Currently nobody is able to play Dungeons and Dragons Online.

The servers are going to be back up soon but taking the servers offline was unfair to all the players that do not use reincarnation caches. I wish the servers would never have been taken offline.

well good thing you are not in charge. the game was not made solely for you and your enjoyment. they need it working for ALL players at the same time. one failure can cause a cascade of other failures in the future. little problems if left alone and ignored turn into big problems when watered with not caring, not paying attention, and inaction. i dont use the caches either but i wold prefer the game run as intended. talk about narcissistic attitudes thinking it is all about you. that is what makes gaming toxic, not "toxic masculinity" like what they used to destroy world of wokecraft with and all other woke games. let them fix it but call for compensation for the down time.

Since this post is self-centered I'll try to save JED from being roasted alive with a hijack...

The current failure is one of many errors in judgement and programming. Many classes have minor issues that are not bubbling up to the surface. The auction houses are having burps no one is paying attention to and the constant down time doesn't help.

Our player base and SSGs profit margins (possibly DDO survival) are taking massive broadsides that we/they may not survive. Especially, if this poor decision making continues with the upcoming (many) game releases.

I love this game but fear the current folks in charge are missing a few cards when it comes to understanding business and markets. While they obviously love the game, they're too close to it and are not seeing the issues and how tall they are... perspective.

SSG,
Consider hiring someone that understands the current situation, hurdles, the market, impacts to nerfing (really worth it) and most importantly the fundamentals of a QA/QC program, process or some level of screening the sausage making process.

Since...process.

I see what you mean. When I open DDO, I see a message about the summer sales event in July. That was two months ago, that should not still be there.

Guy guy guy...listen the bugs in the game don't effect me so clearly they should have not had to take the game offline....cuz I want to play in right NOW.

lol bugs don't affect me so screw everyone else. yeah that wouldn't work well on a business model that affects a lot of players.

Thankfully the OP isn't in charge and is in moms basement.

been playing for years and in the early days it had to get really bad for them to reboot the game, thankfully its done on a regular basis. As for struggling financially i think a lot of places are loosing things not because of quality but people are having watch their disposable income
