DDOcast

On this Round Table we talk about a letter from one of our guild mates who didn't want to do the live show but wanted to share his thoughts on a number of topics. There is a running theme about the challenge of playing DDO with less than optimal characters, party members, gear, or premium options. We also had some other letters along the same lines and the forums have had some discussions in that vein. It's always been an issue in DDO but we think now it is true more than ever before. Many thanks to Jerry and Timothy for joining us!! :) You can view the orginal YouTube video here: http://youtu.be/_sx_vzmln6Y
