Your pleasantly surprised after VG tragedy? I dont see what the problem is with VG. Most people moaning about VG are the bored WOW players who realised this wasnt a rip off game from WOW that they could just come to and enjoy. Its a clone from EQ1 and EQ1 was great. VG for me is the best MMO i have played since EQ1... no doubt. VG to me has been great and i have been playing MMO's for a long time. The mounts and flying mounts and huge world are rarely around in other MMOs. People are slating VG as there own machines are not up to scratch to play it.. and they know its not easy. How long did you try VG? its only been out a month. Its not dead its beginning.
LOTRO will be a very restricted MMO. 4 races says alot already.. class customisaion non apperent and shallow crafting (if you call it that). You are looking forward to an MMO like this? Sure people keep saying "well they had to stick to tolkien lore" and they did this... but that is why it is such a restricted/casual mmo. People who want to be frodo for a few weeks will love it.. as will most people who like the books. But people who love mmos ... this will just not have enough there to keep them playing it.
What, the VG servers crashed again so you thought you post on the LOTRO forums to kill time?
It's really starting to get funny, all the Vanguard fans coming on the LOTRO boards. I know you're angry at having to pay for beta 6. I know you're angry that Brad is abusing your loyalties to pay for the game. But please, try not to take it out on we LOTRO players. It isn't our fault that Turbine will release a finished, polished game. So try not to be too jealous of our good fortune.
Lol. i didnt try VG beta i bought the game. i have had it for nearly 2 weeks and it it has not crashed once. i read about all games at work so im not here to flame just to c what people think. im really enjoying VG the depth its offers as the accomplishments seem more rewarding. im a fan of the LOTR books so this game interests me but im looking for a game that will last a long time.
what aspects of LOTR will keep u guys playing it in 6 months time as i know the map size is pretty small?
How anyone can say anything positive about Vanguard is amazing. Must not have played it much. I was playing this morning and finally in disgust stopped. Far too many bugs, too much code that forces the game to move like a slug at times. So typical of Sony to release such buggy software.
I did the same thing; logged in one more time this morning to give it one more shot.
The lag was horrible and I have a decent rig.
Had the game performed well at a minimum of Balanced settings I might have kept going. But between the lags and other bugs I died a lot for reasons not my fault.
The OP did a good job of capturing the feel of the game. Heck, I like it. Yes, I'm just a regular dude who mostly plays on weekends, but the game is fun. If you take your time and just enjoy the lore, story, etc. Keep in mind also that I also liked DDO and AA. DDO cause I was tired of runnin around Azeroth for quests. At least in LotRO I can drink an ale at the prancing pony, or visit the shire.

no it is not, content wise it is at least ten times the size of Vanguard.
I miss DAoC
