There was a re-review in a local gaming magazine about DDO a couple months ago. The reviewer seemed to be suprised about the current state of the game, mentioning it is possibly the most undervalued MMO at the markets now (and the reason being according to him because it was such a horrible game at launch).
Anyway, when it goes free-to-play, I will check it out with my kids. Heck, if it doesn't cost a thing, why not install it at every machine at home?
