A little tip to get some early adventure packs without paying.

Dont know how many other people are doing this but if you are new to the game and are not sure about investing money yet you can still get access to a reasonable amount of extra content before paying.
All you have to do is keep making new characters on several servers.
Play the first 2 slots on any server to around level 4-6 each and you will have around 200-300 free points to spend.
Keep an eye on the special offers each day and wait until they are 20% off a lower level dungeon pack before getting it
Then start on another server and repeat, but wait until another offer and get another dungeon pack for free.
I've only been playing since the game has gone F2P casually and have 3 dungeon packs from free points doing this, and have only used 3 servers so far, theoretically you could even get some of the higher level dungeon packs doing this.
The more you do it the less repetitive the game becomes because you have access to more content, not to mention you can try out some wacky builds and experiment whilst getting free content before you decide which character you want to play further.

Thanks for the tips. I'm the type of gamer that likes to experiment with a lot of different builds and races anyway, as well as try different servers to get a feel for the communities. So the DDO model may work out to my advantage. In other MMOGs that playstyle has always hurt me, since I'm on a monthly timer...
It works too. I have a few characters across a couple servers and it's easy to add up points. Enough for some cheap things (better to wait with discount like OP said).
Only question is....does unlocked content work on any servers? (purchasing new quest-lines on one server, but able to use it on another?) Same with classes/races...etc?
I have read that your content module upgrades work on all servers. Check out this DDO FtP guide at Warcry.
Favor unlocks are per server.
Store unlocks are per account.
