With great sorrow i ve learned that there is not going to be any pvp in Lotro ,and with even greater sorrow i see one more good opportunity to give the ppl a great mmo ,cause DDO is already wasted ,and guess what" there was no pvp there either...Turbine said its not right to put Elves gang hobbits and such stuf...welll that s horsheet cause they could easilly provide 2 factions 1 with the curent playble races elvs hobbits humans dworfs,,and ofc the bad guys like orcs goblins trolls and many others they could imagine...its just they should work much more to do that and they prefered the easy money...Welll i say people DONT buy Lotro and give the companies a good lesson to prefer quality next time they deside to make mmos and take our precious money...
Cause if i wanted pve (LOL) id stay in my oblivion which is for sure better...Awesome combats e.t.c....And dont missunderstood this...Pve is good but alone its boring..and the (LOL)pvp they included in this game is the most idiotic way...Who will go an dmake a 50 lvl orc that can t play ,lvl wiht it upgrade his stats and armor by adventuring and stuff..only to go and attack with out any sense a normal player char...I m very sad cause they had a great opportunity cause Tolkin smiddle earth is a ground they could invest and now only they will get from me is: 1 crap to rull them all and in the darkness bind ...Thnks Turbine but no thnks!!!!
An mmo is either sandbox-type, where content is driven by what the players are doing against each other thru time, or pve-story-based, where content is driven by the developers and what they can deliver to the players over time thru content patches and xpacks. This game is in the later category. Sure, you will see story-based games throw in some controlled-pvp here and there (WoW with battlegrounds, GW with pvp-instanced games, LOTRO with it's entmoors battleground), and all those little instances are fun imo. But it's not world-pvp in the EVE sense. (WoW had to come up with battlegrounds because their engine couldn't handle real world-pvp btw). Also, you see games like eq2 try to throw world-pvp onto a pve game and it basically sucks, because the class design was not made with pvp in mind.
So bottom line, this is a story game. There is some controlled pvp and that's it. That is all there ever will be. They can't be 'blamed' for that or anything.. Every player has different weights for different features. Some have a higher weight for world-pvp than others. That's great imo. It's these differences in player desires that results in a market that can support multiple games. I like multiple games.
The REAL concern people need to have with LOTRO is this.... since it's a pve game, can Turbine deliver content and xpacks at a pace fast enough to keep up with average consumption? This is the hard part of creating and maintaining a PVE type of mmo. The decision to be world-pvp or not world-pvp has already been made; a long time ago.
I think my friend like many others that repiled to my post u completely missed the point of the thread i made here...
1st: It has nothing to do with ganging lower lvls
2nd: Killing udergeared players is ofc normal cuase that means im a better player than the other when i manage to take better gear than the other if ofc Lotro 's pve includes challenge and not arming for hours weeks days months instances like wow...if it has quality vs quantity..
3rd: Pvp has to with excitement thrill and challenge ..and ofc pvp battles are better than pve battles cuase simply your opponent is not a stupid mob that will do in a mathimatically certain way the same moves or skill usuage
4th: Ofc if the game would give me the opportunity as an orc character i would charge with my uruk-hai guildmates Rivendail Minas Tyrith and that! would would give a tottaly diferent interest in the whole game cause all players would try to become better to really aid their cause vs a real challenge named human players and not vs some stupid mobs!
%th: Lol some guy told that good guys based on tolkin books must win the bad guys like it happened in the book. Why an inteligent person should join a mmo game when he knows from the start that good will prevail..and WAKE UP ppl! This is a mmo game and not the book...its just based on the book to create a world ...how it should end i think players should finish this book...cya grow up and ask more from Turbine when it asks for your money!!!!

Didn't go down too well with Vanguard if I remember right.
