Talk:PnP differences

Some of the "changes" at the bottom were actually already present in 3.5 Pnp. Doesn't hurt to repeat them for people who played the older AD&D game, though. Although maybe they can be pushed to a separate list. 24.62
 * Which specific changes do you mean?--Ziu 02:29, February 16, 2006 (PST)

This page, or a better one, needs to be prominently linked so that old-time PnP players know what to expect. Also, there should be a positive list made up: ways that DDO is similar to PnP (that other fantasy MMORPGs aren't)


 * I like it, and I'm going to put a link to it on the Players manual page. I'm not sure if it should also go on the main page or not, but I'm leaning towards 'yes.' Dedridd 07:10, February 16, 2006 (PST)


 * I'm not really in favor of a "ways that DDO is similar to PnP" page. DDO is supposed to be the same as PnP. It makes more sense to have a page that says where they differ rather than listing all similarities (which are much more numerous) -- Tihocan 09:13, February 16, 2006 (PST)


 * It's not supposed to be "the same", it's supposed to be similar in many ways. The extent to which that goal was achieved is notable, and deserves documentation.  Remember that not only old-time D&D players will try DDO... other players will have only used WoW or EQ, or have no fantasy gaming background at all.   24.62


 * Why even focus on whether it's related to PnP or not? These are all great tips to any player starting out in DDO, regardless of their background. You could just forget the relation to other systems or games, and make this a "how the game works" page. It could probably even be combined with the Players Manual page, if you're so inclined.

 * A single page on "how the game works"? You mean, paste together the contents of every other page?? 24.62
