Dungeons And Dragons Online: Detect Evil and Random Encounters

A couple of posts of interests on the DDO Official Forums. The first talks about Eberron's alignment system, and the lack of Detect Evil in DDO:

Eberron's ambiguous alignment system emphasizes that creatures with an opposite alignment from yours won't always be your foes, and creatures who share your alignment won't always be your friends.

So for instance, the Karrnathian general that wants you to recover an artifact from the Blood of Vol might be Lawful Evil, but he might be telling the truth, and it might be in your best interest to help him. Then again, he could actually be a member of the Order of the Emerald Claw -- either way, he's evil, so Detect Evil won't really help too much here. Of course, situations like this can arise in any campaign setting, but they're supposed to happen more often in Eberron.

That being said, Detect Evil won't be in DDO, either as a spell or a paladin class ability.

You can read that thread right here. Is not having the ability to detect evil a good thing or a bad thing?

The second post is asking for a little community feedback regarding random encounters. Xundau wants to know if you want them, how often you want them, and what they should consist of. Head on over to the thread and throw your two gold pieces in.
