Its all quests quests quests...hmmm...your right, it hasnt got that lord of the rings atmosphere though..

Are the quests somewhat complex, instead of the generic bring x amount of y items to z mob in (insert name here) town to complete the quest?


i wish mmorpgs created something else than
1. kill x monsters and get the reward
2. kill monsters and bring x of their parts to get the reward
3. go and talk to npc and get the reward
4. get an item from npc and bring it to other one and get the reward.
etc.



Wow... thats like the complete walkthrough for World of Warcraft!!!

(Before I get sniped by angry WoW players. I play the game as much as anyone else and as such, am allowed to make jokes!! :P)

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.

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.

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 :P

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.

thats how some companies get more ppl to buy their products.

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. So I`m not a sort of a victim of a brand name or advertisement.

I've tried alot of MMO's and WoW fits my playing style the best. Remember MMO's dont start being fun till high level's

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.

I can never muster the time or interest to keep with an mmo. Yet, I did see a few screenshots for that game and I might just see if the game lives up to the lively detail.
