LoTRO preorder #5 at Amazon.com in most popular PC items list

note the games listed will move and change hourly

I always use the numbers over there because it reflects more of the general gaming public plus it gives hourly updates for popularity for numbers 1 to 100 in PC software and products. I was surprised as heck to see LoTRO already at number 5. Another game that SOE recently released never even made it to the top ten even release week. I wonder if the Turbine Devs are busy making their money hats?

    I wonder just how many of those pre-orders are by people who rarely play MMO's.

    you normally always see nothing but single player games in the top ten, WoW of course being the exception. Only thing really notable about this is the fact of how far out from release it is. Vanguard is number 40 right now, was at number 10 - 15 most of it's release week but was at 50 and above before and during it's open beta. If LoTRO hits number one during the open beta the Turbine Devs will be buying their new Porsche 911's and BMW 700 series, not to mention a lot of investment bankers will be doing happy happy joy joy dances in offices all over the country.

    ya..this game is gonna be very successful. Turbine did a great job putting this game together, and also in getting a very good, almost family like playerbase in early and they have created one hell of a community already. So gratz to the  turbine devs and community team. Hope you guys get a nice bonus! I

    Not sure how it's doing on Gamestop's list, but I'm responsible for 3 pre-orders on that one.

    thats the beauty of the Amazon list, shows the game is selling outside the hard core MMORPG circle. WoW is the only other MMORPG that I have ever seen break through the # 10 barrier there. 

    I got my pre order at the neighborhood Best Buy yesterday. I drive right by it on the way home from work, so release day I just stop and pick it up.

    I personally think LOTRO is going to be a great game.  It's going to do well, very well actually.  Turbine did good with this one.
