So... Lord of The Rings Online anyone?

Hey all, i'm pretty new to the forums but i figured i'd start up a topic anyways :D


i've been reading into LOTRO a good bit lately and it really looks like a good MMO with some interesting feature choices. for example there really is no "pure caster" class, which makes sence for a middle earth based game IMO because Wizards are kinda few and far between in that world.


the other thing that i found interesting is the traits system they got goin, it's kinda like the system Guild wars has exept it doesnt require to choose which skills you take with you to combat but little bonuses like +3 vs undead or something. you can only carry a limited ammount of each type of trait, i know there are 4 types but i forget the names :P

Also the graphics seem pretty darn good compared to some of the other MMOs comin out, but then again this is Turbine we're talkin about and their track record isn't the best *cough* DDO, Asheron's Call 2 *cough*


any thoughts about this game, and any experiences from anyone in the beta?

Yeah, I've played it. My cousin is a really nice guy, but he keeps trying to addict me to MMO's. He even opened a Lineage II account for me and was willing to pay for it, but I'm just not an MMO person, I guess. One thing I noticed playing the beta of LOTRO was that it didn't bore me straight away or overload me with an assload of completely-unnecessary-for-20-more-levels GUI. Also, they did a very good job on the PVP. It is also a really solid and stable game considering it was a closed beta. All in al, it's a good game, I guess, but I'm just not an MMO person, especially after I bought STALKER a few days ago.

I was in the beta for about a month before I got bored.  All MMOs fall victim to the same thing, counting on the fact that the player will keep paying the fees to play quests that are relatively boring, and in return, getting X virtual item.  The only MMO that holds my interest is Age of Conan, because the quests actually look fun.  Decapitations, nudity, and drunken brawling.  City-building and fort-sieging.  On top of normal collection quests and the like (except that even these can be interesting.  There's one out there that requires you to bring back half of someone's body, instead of 45 wolf pelts)

As a recovering WoW-aholic, I feel I must warn you about the dangers of MMOs. The l33t speak and incoherent insults from 10 year olds directly attack the social centers of your brain. I managed to get out before the burning crusade, but I will still spend many years in social rehab. If you cannot resist the lure, atleast tell your friends and family that you will be leaving them to play with Frodo in advance.

In all seriousness, if you have the free time, MMOs are fun. The lord of the rings one looks a little bland to me, though. Warhammer online looks promising due to it's PvP aspects, though. And decapitations, nudity, and drunken brawling are excellent selling points for Conan! I will look into that.

i've played pretty much every mmo that has come out hehe so i know about the social depravity when a really good one comes out, i tend to try every new one that comes out but only been a few that have ever held my interest like Asheron's Call 1 , Dark Age Of Camelot, and WoW. i just quit wow as well 3 weeks ago so we'll see how this goes i have the beta client installed at home and i'm just waiting for work to end and go try it out. i don't really mind the semi bland quests my self, i play the game usually for the community. we'll see how this goes tonight
