Here's my two cents, and I'll keep it short. I love everything about this game except for one thing, grinding for traits. I get really tired for killing mobs over and over again, just for traits. This is the only reason I quit playing this game for periods of time. However, I do return, and go through the cycle all over again. The other games I cycle through are Vanguard, EQ2, and DAoC.

agreed. I would never claim LoTRO is the perfect game, however for me it is the best available right now.
I cycle through games also. It used to be between LoTRO and EQII, but then some CS Rep got all nasty about a 20 dollar billing screw up and figured that 20 was worth pissing off a 5 year plus customer over, so now SOE will never see a dime of my money again. The way I see if they are clearly in the wrong and will not admit it on a 20 dollar screwup, god knows what would happen if that had been a 2000 dollar screwup. At least my credit card company saw it my way and refunded me the 20, even though it was more the principle of the thing rather than the amount.
I had hope for AoC but all there is for me in that game is grinding quests, the crafting sucks and the PvP is lame in my opinion. So now EvE is my secondary game, lots of different grinds there to keep me occupied and entertained between sessions of LoTRO.
there you go fanboys ... Anyway, as this thread is progressing into a fanboy-beat-me-up game - i am out, cu in future threads where people wonder why static worlds are so boring.
.... you're a liar, j/k, but seriously bro you put yourself out there... you must be busy posting similar arguments on all the other MMO forums. Enjoying a game doesn't mean that you think it is perfect.. it might just mean that you enjoy playing it.
And no, NPC recue protect quests in LOTRO do not cover that element, they are as old as the shawl quest in kunark (EQ)
I know these type of quests are old, but thats beside the point. Both quest types have a small dynamic change on the world while active and resets after its done. Other players see the change, if close by. The only minor difference is - who and how players join the quest...

yes while the rescue effect is a passive one if you come close and the pq effect is an active one - you can jump right into, that makes a difference and improves the old concept.
And yes lotro deserves some slamming in my opinion, for wasting one of the most amazing licenses with one of the least amazing MMO's. If it was a muppet show MMO i would not moan, but why why why the lord of the rings? I think thats worth some bashing here and there - lotro is "just another mmo" while it should not have been like that - in my humble opinion. It should have been outstanding but it isnt, without the name on the cover... where would it be?

A game without a name? I am sorry you are not happy with the game and it has not lived up to your expectations. You are entitled to and I respect your opinion even if I don;t fully agree with it.
