  • Well, I play on Landroval, the "unofficial" RP server. Really, the only time you will see it, unless you are involved in an RP kin, is in Bree itself. Typically, the Prancing Pony in the evenings is when and where this happens. I have never RP'd…
  •   With the release of skirmishes (where you get a +25% XP bonus for kills), leveling has gotten very easy. In fact, many people think it's too easy to level, expecially the Mirkwood content (60-65). Personally, I have always felt it was just about…
  • If you're in it for the money, then you could see it as gambling. Otherwise it's entertainment. For me, it's not, because I'm paying to play, at a reasonable rate and even if I got a huge loot, it would go towards my charactor, not be cashed out.
  • Yes to all the above. You have to think of it as real life, since the economy is real life based. Who would you let borrow something worth $3500 (35,000 PED), using the example above? Probably just your family, and personally, I have some family…
  • OP: It sounds like you're basically just starting out. I'd either deposit or sweat to get enough to buy yourself a trade terminal Oppalo rifle and at least a thousand rounds, think the Oppalo is around 6 PED and the rounds will be 10 PED. More rou…
  • Regarding the OP's post (not about to quote it in it's entirety, but he basically said if he "cashed out" now he'd have spent about 200 dollars). Most MMO's cost 15 bucks a month, so "losing" $200 in 2 years is actually cheaper than most P2P MMO's…
  • I think most of the people who hate the game either 1) Didn't deposit  or 2) Deposited a huge amount and expected to get rich RIGHT NOW, without really knowing how to make money in game. If you are just playing for fun 10 or 20 bucks a month will …
  • One of the bueties of LotRO is that casual players arern't instantly gimped completely. Crafted armor is just fine, and even if you only log in for a few hours a week you should be able to purchase enough good gear to play around with. If you ha…
  • Yeah, go ahead and play WAR. After a while (maybe short, maybe long), you'll probably get bored with it and want something else. Then you'll have LotRO to come back to. Then, after a while, you'll get bored of LotRO, you can swing back to WAR.
  • Come to LotRO RPP'ers. If you're in North America, I recommend the Landroval server (unofficial RP server). Avoid Brandywine, saw alot of the leet kids there. The world isn't as involved as old SWG, but it's getting there. At least it has some o…
  • If WAR seems to be solid after say 6 months or so, I might give it a shot. Glad I didn't buy AoC, seemed like it would be great, and it has turned out to be crap. Got burned on PotBS, looked good, bought it, played for a month.....then most ever…
  • Originally posted by ghettobooste A year later we see this game really coming into it's own.  Alot of the people's comments don't have much merit now as they have added a bunch of content since those days.  You won't run out of quests or content …
  • Major grind? Are you kidding me? Right now the max is level 50, fairly easy to get. As far as deeds/title/ect. grinding, it's a decent way to have something to do when you're just trying to earn cash when you're level 50. Most of the lower level…
  • Originally posted by Professor78   I realy don't know what its like on other Servers but the player attitude on LOTRO Eldar (EU) is nothing like the 4 WOW servers I have tried. WOW would have suited me more if I was 15 years younger, its more ali…
  • Thanks for the replies. I was around for the first 3 heroics, and that was one of the things that turned me off, along with the inane collections. A great idea, with some really stupid hard to loot items (think I hunted for saith holo 4 for both the…
  • Possibly it was the server you were on. On Landroval (NA server), a huge majority of the population seem to be decent folks. I'm sure there are tool boxes on the server, but they are few and far between.
  • Nice thread. One thing though, Eye of the Storm can be started at 60. As for builds, to each their own!
  • Really, what advertising did WoW have at launch? I hadn't heard of it til I started playing MMOs. If you're refering to the new TV ads, those didn't build the customer base, it was already there. It might get more people, but it didn't draw the …
  • I love when someone posts "I loved it for 2 years and then I got bored". Wow, you think?  
  • If you want a game that isn't raid or PvP based( crafted gear is pretty close to being the best), has shiney graphics and has lots of different things to do, try LoTRO. Both are great fun, for me WoW is more about PvP and dungeon crawling, Lotro i…
