I was in the beta of this game for a quite a while. The game is pretty original for a MMO the environments are highly interactive. However, the game is hardly free to play. After you get to lvl 4 you cant progress much further without buying map packs. Unless you really love replaying the same 1-2 zones on hardest modes and still max out at lvl 5 without new zones. You will run out of new content quickly . Each map pack costs about the same as a monthly subscription $8-$18 US. In beta i beat some of the map packs in less then 4 hours soloing. Unless you don’t mind monthly fee’s i wouldn’t suggest this game.
Oh no. Basically you are telling me this is not a free game but just a demo or a hidden pay to play mmo? Thanks for the info Bretto.
Btw i checked around the internet and i find out you are right.. it’s just a (unlimited) demo with a lot of restrictions and if you want more adventures you must buy adventure packs… i wonder why they called this f2p? Clearly It’s not.
Well I think i’ll wait for Guild Wars 2, and while waiting i could give a try to Allods Online, 4 Story, Runes of Magic or Rohan..
Farewell DDO.

definitely not a demo however with the amount of map packs and things you will want to do but cant without paying money it would be better/ more cost effective to just subscribe and pay monthly then to try pay as you go.
It’s still f2p. There is a favor system that you earn points from. And others can buy you adventure packs.
You can either play for free and quest enough to get more packs or have some good friends with VIP. I know people who didn’t get guess passes but just quested to level 15 in 3 weeks.
For the record I got to level 8 before I decided to contribute to the company by going VIP. There are always groups doing favor runs. That was with only 26 hours of playing over 2 weeks. >_>
