So, I started out in the queue at something over 70,000; after several minutes, I am down to 5,000+

Is the game worth it?

Yep. They underestimated demand. They better get their shit together.

Why would they expect a large demand?  I mean, we already have "World of Warcraft", and it's free-to-play!

Well until they fix the mechanics it sounds like Clerics are the raid tanks as they generate for aggro with their heals thab Guardian fighters can with their threat skills.  Much forum whinage over this.

My cleric is experiencing this. I'm as fully invested in threat reduction as I know how to be and it's still a huge problem. Just died in the final boss fight earlier tonight due to it.

Karma is full but we created a second guild called Amrak which I can invite you to. Just join the /allkarma channel and let someone know or send me a tell. I'm @dalebertnh on there.

Alternatively, if you let me know your <character name>@<handle> I could get you an invite.  You should still join AllKarma chat, though, because that's where we keep the guild chat (to allow us to talk between the two Karma-affiliated guilds).

I have a problem with this game.  It runs well, it's fun (for an MMO), the graphics are good, the controls are more or less intuitive.

But it's not D&D 4th edition.

I was looking through the Neverwinter forums, and found several people confused about "the rules for 4th edition", when the game is rather a loose adaptation of (re: some of the power names are the same, even if they do not function anything like the TT version) of 4th edition rules.  What follows in each case is a diatribe about how the 4e haters' suspicions have now been confirmed: D&D 4e is World of Warcraft for Babies.

For all the talk of 4e being "WoW on paper", the rules do not translate well to the real-time MMO format.  Are there any MMOs that use turn-based combat?  As I understand it, Knights of the Old Republic had real-time exploration, and turn-based combat, and it did pretty well, but I can't remember if it was multiplayer or not.  I think what WotC should have done right off the bat was to commission a party-based roguelike based on the 4e rules, and distribute it free to subscribers (or, say, the first five levels of the dungeon free, $ for the rest of the dungeon).

The point is, one cannot judge the merits of the 4th edition rules based on their half-baked adapatation to an online MMO.

People can have a freakishly good time using any rule set, including 4th edition.
