i was pretty pumped about hearing it announced to be in the game, but now that i think of it they are kinda making a big mistake because thier is no evil faction.
alot of players misunderstand the term "pvp" by thinkin it is a shire gank fest. nobody wants this.
the players who want pvp want factionized Team pvp. Good vs Evil, they want to raid cities, create an immersion with other players in this fantasy world. they want it skill based. no click click dumbed down WoW shit.
nobody wants to corpse camp, maybe the people who want to play rogue burglars....
but anyways guys im trying to say to little to late the PvE crew already won because WARhammer online is coming out and has the Good Vs Evil team pvp everyone wants so thats most likely going to be more popular pvp wise
this game could have been the greatest but i dunno ive played WoW 2 years+ now and it seems to me everyone is sick and tired of LOOT grinding. aka run a zone 50 times to get gear, then they release a newer better zone aka timesink ya. raise lvl cap extra..... i dunt kno i feel mMos are evolving into much more pvp oriented. you kno why? who wants to raid for 5-6 hours a couple times a week when u can pvp for 30 minutes to whenever and have no time dedication to the game. pvp = more casual friendly then PVE.
the players who like PVE do this, MON, THURS, SUN will be raid nights. 3 different instances or whatever.
but now the remaining time tues, wed, sat, fri ect ect... they have nothing to do. maybe farm gold. or help lowbies out. wtf is that whats the point of geting geared up? i never could understand this, raiding a zone is fun for the first 3-5 times but after that it becomes so bland repitive and boring, and theyre is no way devs can keep up by releasing new zones so fast. specially when restricted to new content design and idears due to LOTR.
in short, PVE raids a couple times a week, the real time sink should be in TEAM PvP, as long as they make a good reward system. but of course team pvp will be stupid at launce and wont exist due to my whole argument no "main enemy threat" other players dont have a choice they have to be allianced faction.
dont give me that bullshit about how "orcs dont have free will" or ect ect thats such an excuse.
late night thoughs with me
peace

Bad news, I disagree with your views on PvP with the LotR basis. And seeing as you don't want to hear the "bullshit" , I'll leave it at that.
Ok so its a item grind or not? bc i hate WoW, it sux.. but your right if i cant choose too be evil or good.. then it prob isnt the game for me.. i like too have more then 1 road too travel
but lets not forget these are companies and what do companies want? to make money.
the mmo genre is really lacking passion because they want to create that fast cookie cutter successfull mmo AKA like everquest, now obviously like WoW. hence why so many new MMos are exactly the same, same feel, play and features...... no uniqueness because companies dont want to take a gamble.
well unfortunately by bad planning and DEVS, this game is not going to be the best. with a story and depth that comes with LOTR they missed out. but they can still make up for it with a isenguard expansion, then later a mordor one. im a fan of pve and pvp at both so ill prob still play this game without the dream pvp. but im hoping down the road they will expand to allow evil characters. then eventually add PVP raids.
and btw to prevent high lvl evil characters campin a lowbi zone like the shire all the devs have to do is make tower blockade points. aka a tower that will 2-3 hit ne high lvl toon. ect ect. because realistical even if it had good vs evil pvp u dont want the shire to be taken over. it would be towns like bre, weathertop.... ect being fought over. as well as some evil places . lata.
