LOTRO PvP?

I've been wondering this and I can't seem to find an answer...
Is there going to be PvPing in LOTRO? And if there is, how will it be? Would it be like WoW's pvping (with battlegrounds) or will it be like GW's pvping (completely seperate server type of thing for pvping)
That may be one of the main reasons I would play the game, but if there is no pvping.... wouldn't the game get old after a while?

Yes it has PvP called 'Monster Play'; there's a guide here:

Is the PVP system any good? Sounds kind of like it will be a fluke like FFXI's PVP system is.
Nice

Thanks for the link. The PvP seems like it will be pretty cool (at least I hope so)

Sounds lame. I really hope there is a FFA PvP server.

I haven't tried the pvp system, I need to grab a better graphics card so I can play it on full detail without lag lol.. I want that full detail experiance! ><
anyways, I know the pvm is fun and the ranger/archer range of attack with its bow is VERY far! i mean its cool but my god the dwarfs running around hitting mobs before i get time ot click on mob pissed me off during beta haha... but hopefully down the road when the game has a bigger market and community going on I will go and join it ( by that time I will have the money to do all the upgrades I want to do on my pc to ensure max detail on all the mmos out there.. with little to no lag.. ) anyways
LotR pvp system, I would love to try it out but simply cannot right now..
if anyone has additional information on its pvp system ( not quite sure if there was one but I'm sure there is.. ) post some information here with some video clips or screenshots

problem with this is you can't *fight* anyone until people level their toons high enough to enter as "the good guys" (at least this is what I understand)
I spent DAYS in the monster areas - no pvp at all.

You are correct, they need to be at least 40 to enter on their main character. Too bad you missed some pvp, it was fun usually around 6-9PM CST there would be some Freeps to kill, at least on Brandywine.
I think it will take about 2 or 3 months until we see some Monster Play action in retail.

Monster Play is in the open beta, you can get in at level 10. I would go now if I wasn't so close to 15 to not be bothered wasting time doing other things.
