Btw, Keaton....Lance will probably never see your reply to him. Yeah, I'll have to say he never got out of the tutorial part of LoTRO since he never made it past level 6. Plus the lag during closed beta did get pretty bad there when Turbine was trying to tweak the game. In many instances people would crash over and over in towns. Yes, it was usually older computer that suffered from coders extremely bad memory leak. This was all during closed beta and I'm almost positive that is all fixed now. As for me, the owner of this small blog, one day I would love to go back to LoTRO especially since they have added many new things in there concerning gameplay, making more of a unique MMO.

Lance. Guess what. A level 6 HOBBIT hunter is so not giving you a true view of the full world that Turbine has created. Lag 24/7? What kind of a computer are you on? What graphics are you on? Obiously it is going to lag if you are playing on high graphics on an old junker of a computer. And, what server are you playing on. Yes, the quests are fairly boring until about level 10. And the beta was not even worth playing. They have added lots of content update since then. Dungeons and Dragons, I agree, was a mess. How are the classes you can chose from boring? Have you ever played any other MMORPG's before? Thats basically all the classes you will get in any game. Some are named differently. In WoW Mages are like Lore~Masters. Warriors are Champions. EtCetera. You obviously have not played many MMORPG's before. Please don't talk about stuff you don't know anything about.

Needless to say that I was highly disappointed in the game play. I have to say that Lotro will soon be the next mess up from turbine just like dungeon and dragons online was, many fans are going to be very angry. Some of the many problems are ugly yet tedious battles, Idiotic and uninteresting quests, LAG 24/7, classes you can choose from are boring. Some of the good things would be you can customize your guy, umm... thats it. If you also bought the beta then you wasted money just like me and if your thinking about getting it then just don't, just don't.

This review really helped me get excited about lotro. I am a huge Tolkien fan and loved all his books. I always wanted to live in middle-earth and this is the closest I will ever get. I am a slight bigger fan of The Legend of Zelda though. They need a Zelda mmorpg too. That would really make my day. Thanks for the great review it really helped.

For more information on the game itself I suggest browsing these sites that I found. <a href="http://www.lotro.com/index.php?page_id=91&siid=1" rel="nofollow">The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar official site</a> <a href="http://lotro.allakhazam.com/" rel="nofollow">Allakhazam's Magical Realm: Lord of the Rings Online</a> <a href="http://lotrovault.ign.com/" rel="nofollow">Lord of the Rings Online Vault</a> I really need more time on there to fully know all the nuances of the game. It's definitely a game that you need to spend time with and dig around in. There are many "bonuses" you get from discoveries, killing different mobs or completing quests. After you achieve getting those you manage them at a bard npc. The ones I received were for +1 bonus in different stats. Not much but I believe that goes up over time. I think a week trial period on there would give enough of an impression of whether or not the game is for you. I do not know if they will be offering up a trial or not. Right now they are only offering a pre-order deal. There are still small things that need to be fixed, such as running animation; but this is still in beta and the release date is not till the end of April. So I can over look those small things. They also put in an auction house system that is same as the one in WoW. I am happy about that and that they are not opting for the AFK barter system in other games. They also have a mail box system, which is the same as WoW. There is a mini-map with legend markers. Only annoying thing I found was a floating text over NPCs and anything that you can interact with. I did find out that you can turn that off in the UI prefaces. I also made a suggestion in their forums to limit where that text is. If I get an invite to the closed beta I will make another post with more information on the game. Right now I only have those websites for information.
