Sometimes, despite our favorite game’s best intentions, things go pear shaped. You get home at the end of the day, and switch on your computer and meet the ultimate cock block. DDO had some problems with their downtime yesterday.  Patch 9.1 over worked the hamsters, and the game didn’t come back online until almost 6pm est. To be perfectly honest,...
