EDIT: I have left out "Doing all Quests available" as that is propably (if you're slightly like me) something you would keep for your other characters in order to make the levelling of the new character as different from the old one as possible. If you are the kind of person that plays one - and ONLY one - character, you can add that to the list.
Well said nitefly, it's pretty much how i feel about LotRO. And yes, i only played one character at 50, with the exception of an alt i tried, only got him to 15 or 16 though.
50 Captain, all deeds done except 1, all class quests finished, GM Weaponsmith, Rank 6 Freep, Rank 6 Creep, most quests finished except a few zones, maxed out with 2 reputations (i just had to get the annunimas horse :P), 3 pieces of Rift gear & 3 pieces of PvMP gear, Rift raid up to Thrang only, and all books finished up to 12 (it's when i quit). Keep in mind, i did all this in around 2-3 months playing around 5-8 hours a day or more, depending how bored i was.
What else was there for me to do? You guessed it, find another hobby and get more sun.
You still act like content patches and upcoming MoM didn't exist....
Also, 5-8 or more hours per day for 2-3 months - not sure which 1 year old MMO would have kept you playing for more with this tremendous rate. With this schedule, you'll always run out of content in every game.
Book 12: The Ashen Wastes (Angmar Revamp & PvMP DoF)
Book 13: Doom of the Last-king (Forochel)
Book 14: The Ring-forges of Eregion
Book 12 is when i quit, and Book 10 is when i came back to LotRO after almost a 6+ month hiatus (iirc). And yes, i did play that much because LotRO is a great game, but it was just too casual for me and didn't fit my perspective of what end-game content should be. Some people get the wrong impression of me and think i hate the game, which is far from the truth.
I think in thsi game making alts is a very important thing. The classes are very different, i got a burglar and a hunter so far and after a raid on the hunter, when i feel like playing another game, i log on the burg and it nearly feels like another game. there arn't two classes that sorta feel the same.
I'm not a no life that sits in front of his computer all day long, I'm an intern that sits in front of his computer all day long.

I don't believe i've ever said content patches didn't exist, but since you brought it up, let's take a look at this content. http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Release/All
