Good or Bad MMO? : LOTRO - Discussions

Now i don't like to be flamed but is this like other MMO's trouble with MPK and such, in game currency? RMT? i mean will this be another WoW? or FFXI? or CoH/CoV? i'm gonna try it out before i get too much into it... hope they place a trial on it... although plent of keys for beta testing are out there just have to get one at the right time... *waits for noon to come around*

horrible i say personally. it will only be filled by fanboys in the future

I agree 100% with what lilfisher said, after two or three months the only people who are going to be playing LOTRO are the die hard fans....nothing against you if you are a die hard fan though

I'm not sure it will be a fanboy game at all. Sure you will have the Role-Players and the occasional flamboyant Hobbit but I haven't seen a really good MMO in quite a while.

Currently I am playing Hero Online and it leaves much to be desired.

As for LOTRO, will it become another WOW or FFXI I just don't know. The possibilities are there but we will just have to find out.


And by the way, Hi to Taruspinal I haven't seen you post since the FFXI days.

They seem to still be working on the classes, their posted plans for them versus what's been implemented still has a lot of work to be done. End game's still a question.

One thing for it though is that it's a Turbine game. From their history with others, it should continue to have additions for the life of the game.

its going to be like galaxies if you ask me... no it wont have lasers, but the gameplay will be there in the beginning of the game, however i believe its going to be like what other ppl are saying, "a fanboy game" like swg.

but i got high hopes... like in swg lol

Well I am a fan of the LOTR series of games so far ... heres hoping this one stacks up.

Woot! just got my Beta key.

Out of 22 beta applications in my guild 12 got in during Alpha 2...we played a bit when we first got in...but most have got tired of it...and the general consensus is...it's nothing special.

I reached Rivendell and the Misty Mountains as a level 10...facing level 40's along the way..I shouldn't be able to run through a game like that. And yes I have screenshots with Bilbo, Frodo, Aragorn, Boromir, Gandalf, and Elrond (all of which were in Rivendell).

Perhaps we should give it another try after all this time (we got in at like September or something)...but most of us just don't feel the urge to play it and are waiting for the Star Trek or StarGate MMO's in development. I play Guild Wars...most of the rest play WoW (they're addicted...trust me I've tried). I am a fan of the Movies primarily. I've played some of the games...so I was expecting...something more than I got. Note though that these comments are based on something just after "Beta" started...since I was playing before that and haven't played since. So things could have changed dramatically since then...I sure hope they have...For those really interested in the lore of the LotR universe I hope they get what they are expecting.

Don't base a game off of Beta Alpha's

its how people base a lot of games because thats the only version you got to base it on. you can NEVER trust what a company says because it can change at any moment like a beta

The game has changed since the closed Beta.

not for the better though ^^

Its not a bad PvE Game, again nothing groundbreaking. They do a alot of things WoW does... maybe even better. If you are in it for the PvP though, you might be sorely disappointed.

You have to Love Te Environment of games as well as Mass RP play. Most people in my Kinship are over the age of 30 and all mature.

You do have to like LOTRO to like this game lol
