I have been following this game as actively as possible ever since it was called MEO - Middle Earth Online.
Now THAT game had everything I would need to be able to pay for it on a monthly basis. It differed from what it became because you didn't have quests and the like. You could go on quests, but you weren't obliged to. You could just start crafting like hell, and make a job out of it. You could buy your own house, make your own store, ... or of course you could travel into the wide world and see things, fight Orcs, ... whatever you fancied. Then the company that made that game was completely bought out by the company that made it into LOTRO. They scrapped pretty much of the original plans and came up with "player vs player", and "player vs computer" action sequences that I just don't dig. So, no, I don't think I will be buying this game, out of sheer disappointment. The thing I really hated most was that as soon as the game was bought by the other company, they released a press statement saying they would scratch all those things because "no one wants to do those things anyway". The forum exploded with posts saying "I did." The company chose to ignore and that is something I just can't stand. _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

I went ahead and preordered this game last week and played the beta for the past few days. One thing I can say is, it doesn't feel like LOTR at all. It's got the names and the characters from LOTR, but it's missing something I can't put my finger on.
When I first played SWG back in the day, I felt like I was really in the SW world. Same with WoW the whole week I played. But something about the production of this game makes it...lacking in that sense. Maybe it's the whole guitar-playing healer thing. I just feel like they took the WoW code, threw some LOTR stamps on it, and rereleased it as LOTRO. But then again, maybe it's just me. As it stands at the moment, this game isn't anything great and probably won't be too distinctive from WoW once it's finished unless they do some drastic changes. I'm not looking forward to it right now, and may take it off of preorder. _______________ - Proud padawan of Kueller. - We really are at the beginning of it all.

Quote: Actually, having another go at it, Ive decided I like it all, very good show, some minor lag issues in crowded areas though...
Am I the only person interested in this game?  had an invitation, but was too lazy to download the client from crappy servers. i think its obvious that lazyness comes from the fact that beta will end soon. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Heh, having beta tested LORO I can confirm that it is NOT based of the films becasue they don't have the license, expect ot encounter Tom Bombadil and Radagast The Brown etc. The attention to detail as far as role playing is concerned is astounding, however I found the interface and gameplay rather......plain.......I will still be buying it, justot say I was there on day 1 _______________ I was a child when I joined the JA...scary. |

Quote: Have you tried SWG Guild wars or WoW ? have you beta tested LOTRO ? how do you its the best one for you, MMO games dont stay very true to the theme of the movies, at a glance it might but deep down its a totally different type of game. Basing it on the fact you like LOTR's movies is a bad way to think. Before buying see if you can get a trial or something.
well, I really like LOTR movies, but first of all I like the book they were based on. And as far as I know, LOTRO wasn't made by EA(which actually has the license for all MOVIE- characters). That's why I think it's gonna do some good. For EA-made-games-with-LOTR-license really suck. I meen Battle for Middle Earth I, II and all those like The Brotherhood of the ring etc. _______________ "Iron Maiden`s gonna get ya no matter how far!!!"- Steve Harris Friend of Piccolo (proud owner of his 300th comment )

I always wanted to have an online game. But I don`t want to buy ny like WoW, Guild Wars or SW Galaxies. I decided that the best one for me is LOTRO.

It isnt a very good game imho. Not worth the retail price or the subscription. I am a huge LOTR fan but I probably will never buy it.
Im installing the beta as I a type. Whats wrong with it dude? I have played many mmos in my life. LOTRO just isn't that fun. It is a very basic and has little to offer other than being LOTR. I am a hardcore LOTR fan, and it just didn't do anything for me. |
