Cool, I got into the D&D Beta...just got done downloading it (1.44 GB in 40 minutes) so we'll see if they have a winner.

I think my biggest recommendations for them will be: "Make it more like WOW or no one will play it."

Anyone else doing this?

If they somehow make it to support DM interface, i would play it for sure. Otherwise it will probibly suck. D&D is all about having a DM guide you through an adventure, not about grinding through levels, crafting, farming for items, etc.

We will see i guess, but im not too optimistic about it.

It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.

It's funny that you said that because that's one of the few positive things so far...

PROS

- When you attack you actually see the d20 rolling your attacks...kinda cool

- When you enter a new area text crosses the screen, just like a DM telling you stuff. i.e. "You see footprints in the room of many sizes...and hear scratching further down the hallway."

- The feats, skills, character sheet, etc D&D all the way...no changes there...

- Graphics are pretty sharp

CONS

- It's not WOW

- Controls are clunky and awkward...doesn't have the smooth feel like WOW

- Not enough action bars

- No spoken dialogue (yet I hope)

- Purchasing system is horrible, no item comparison, etc.

- No introduction story (who the hell am I?) (Yet, I'm sure)

More to follow...
