How weird is that? That's just what I thought when I read your original post. But then again, LotRO is a bit short on ewoks …
Originally posted by FrodoFragins I'm a lifer and so I'm getting a kick out of this thread ...
Amen to that!
I don't see what the big issue is. If the OP really is a Starwarsnut, then SWTOR will be out soon - Problem solved!
As for me, i'…
I've been enjoying the warden too. Got about half a level to go to max cap (for now). Gambits are a whole lot of fun, and it's an amazing solo class.
In fact the only thing that bugs me is that the icons for the 3 gambit building abilities are not…
Originally posted by Gruug While I have no access to "real" data (and Xfire is not real data), I would say that there are far fewer subscribers to LOTRO this month then there was prior to the so-called f2p conversion. From what I have been seeing is…
I never understood the "pay to win" moniker that occasionally gets attached to LotRO. How could buying items in the cash shop help me win? Who am I be beating in such a PVE-centric game? Unless Turbine introduces a new mechanic whereby NPCs won't t…
Sounds Great!
Also, here's hoping that all of the under the hood tinkering (class updates, etc...) go a long way towards freshening up the whole leveling experience from 1-65 (as a serial Altoholic, this is where I spend most of my time!)
A great article that totally sums up how I feel about endgame. I never understood the rush to get to level cap. For me, the journey is paramount (hence the fact that I play LotRO). However, I also revisited WoW post Cataclysm, and agree that the le…

Amen to that.
I wish LoTRO all the best. I've been there most of those 4 years, and by and large i've en…
Originally posted by Jammaslam hmm reply didnt show up, but in response to the text I quoted above, it is due out March 21st
Make that around June 21st for us EU players. One day Codemasters will actually deliver on time *sigh*
This update sounds great. I've always loved Everdim and it's nice to see the Oatbarton/Dwaling and Annuminas areas blended in to make a smoother leveling experience. Also having it at Lvl 30-40 gives a real alternative to leveling in North Downs or…
Originally posted by wkyfam As with so many things in games, the value of LOTRO's free model (and several other games' attempts), is dependent upon the manner in which you play. I have played a number of MMOs over the years, and in the past was abl…
For me, it would have to be:
1. Improve the graphics engine - Don't get me wrong LotRO is still a pretty game, but, is it right in this day and age to have crappy 90's era landscape textures that "ping" into modern ones as you ride along? And it's…

Originally posted by SnarlingWolf Pay as you go is just that, pay as you go. It should really only be used by 3 types of people. 1) Those that want to check out the game but aren't ready to make an investment in it. 2) Those who are very very casual…
Reading this thread has really cheered me up. As a Lifetime subber on Evernight in Europe I was more than a little annoyed about Codemasters delayed F2P launch, but now I see it as an (unintentional) stroke of genius - Let the hordes of impatient ga…
Listening to a lot of the whinner here you'd be forgiven for thinking that Bioware had been commissioned to supply a bespoke game, taylor-made to fit their exact specifications.
I for one, am just happy that the game is coming out at all, because …
Great Article, very entertaining. I can definitely see the makings of a good sitcom here.
However, you do kind of paint the average MMO gamer as a bit of a 'tool'. But that's okay. By looking at some of the comments here, i feel you may be on to s…
To be honest the only reason I join a guild is to stop all the 'hey mister, join my guild?' spam in the chat channel.
I've currently got several level-capped toons hidden away inside a raiding guild somewhere.
I've no interest in raiding (and ve…
I'm a great believer that everything in game that doesn't form part of the main questing experience should have some tangible benefit or purpose that can be reflected in the main game. Skirmishes do that wonderfully, with the ability to purchase use…
