I believe Gary Gygax said that you could do whatever you wanted. Follow the rules, don't follow the rules, change any rule you wanted. The point was to make it something that you and your group found fun. So you could adopt new rules or not. Up to you. You could throw most of it out and just use the names of the monsters if you want. The rules were there to be broken, follow and/or thrown out. |

Eduardo are you talking about the first spirit of D&D? Because first edition D&D was just a hack and slash and it took them 10 years to add some roleplaying aspect to it. Teleport to instances. Well all I can say is, I rather get a loading screen saying "You have traveled 12 hours" like it was in baldur's gate series than run past two small hills and seven trees in a few minutes pretending that I just ran 30 miles. |

Pain is temporary. Glory is forever. |
Since you guys have been comparing the new game with the old pen-and-paper game, I have to ask: can Drizzt Do'Urden be found in-game? |

The thing is, DDO is what you make of it. If you play DDO with your role playing group, a couple nights aweek, then DDO is very much like the classic RPG. But if you start playing DDO alone, pugging your way through the content, then no, its probably not like the classic RPG.
