    Default DDO: We dont need no stinking instances.......

    So many people ***** and whine about DDo being all instanced, and you have to grind those instances to get any levels. To those people, I like to give them something that proves they are wrong.

    For those of us who don't play DDO, can you put this in perspective? How much exp do you need to level up at lvl 1? lvl 50? Cap?

    DDO levels are different than your typical MMORPG.

    ATM there are 16 levels in DDO (mod 6 update). These levels translate from the pen-n-paper RPG (actually its an "adaptation"). In DDO you do have "ranks". Each level is broken down into ranks. After reaching the next rank, you gain actions points that can be spent on class/racial traits. After so many ranks, you level up.

    So in MMORPG terms, ranks are actually levels.

    1 0
    2 5,000
    3 20,000
    4 50,000
    5 90,000
    6 140,000
    7 200,000
    8 270,000
    9 350,000
    10 440,000
    11 550,000
    12 660,000

    Based on the manual (pre-module 6).

    Thanks for that, it helps to see it in context. Definitely proves your point too- (I'm assuming these are non-instanced areas, of course xD)..

    He's trying to tell you that even with a good guild and compassionate people helping you, that you can't reach max level in DDO from non-instanced environments. Sheesh, try and pay attention.

    another thing that lots of people dont understand is that ddo isnt your average mmo where you go in a forest kill x ammount of spiders and wolves and lvl up like 5 times in 10 minutes.......this game takes patience and people that enjoy a good storyline to play it so that way you can play through quests and such
