Dear readers,
I have been playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st and 2nd addition "tabletop" game for over 20 years as a Dungeon Master and I have learned alot from this. Playing DDO 3.5 is quite different. There are no tried and proved methods, however there are some important things to consider; If you are playing this game to score points as fast as possible and get to the end and are extremely competitive, in my opinion you don't belong associated with Dungeons and Dragons at all.

I have been playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 1st and 2nd addition "tabletop" game for over 20 years as a Dungeon Master and I have learned alot from this. Playing DDO 3.5 is quite different.

This "DDO" is an offshoot of Dungeons and Dragons and that is the most world famous "fantasy role playing game" of all time! DDO makes room for those types of players for a maximum profit ratio $$$.
If you are from the "Old School" of Dungeons and Dragons and are trying to experience it in 3D and have a world wide web's worth of potential players to play with this should have been the best place to go.
I think there still is hope and I intend on making that so - and no not single handedly! As a DM you know the number one rule is: What the DM says goes P E R I O D! However it is wise to make the game as fun as possible or you will have no one to play with. Same goes for guilds and guild leaders/recruiters. You do however have to consider what the majority of your guildies want and that is bassically your type of "guild" or "campaign." If the people you are "interviewing" are going to take the ballance out of your storyline/fantasy you and your guildies are roleplaying or if they are not into roleplaying at all and your guild is a roleplaying guild, then they wont work out.
This is why it is imperitive to interview so as not to waist anyone's precious online gaming time! This is a game - yes, but what type of game is the question to be considered. It is not the typical "video game" that so many seem to think it is and God willing it wont become one either! I for one will fight to maintain DnD integrety forever! Dungeons and Dragons was desighned to bring people together to have a fan

The hard thing with the 2nd edition is that there is very little resources on the internet so I am relaying on my players to answer my questions. All my players are old school d&d player and one was a DM. The guy that was the DM and starting to look like a rule lawyer. He got on my case for not knowing all the sub-races.
