Well I don't know about the best release ever but this game is good.
It's the first MMO I've played from closed beta, to open beta, to live and I didn't dread doing the same quests over again. I see myself playing this one for a long time to come.
I'm glad for you guys it's having a good launch. It's not quite my game as I'm more into RvR so I'm waiting for WAR but I hope you guys get all the PvEers. After recent fiascos it's nice to see a company put out something worth playing.
Think it being "Game for windows" helps becuase they have to do so many x.y.z. to get certified as a "Game for Windows" title. Every game that will be release with "Games for Windows" , will most likely have the same type of performance quality.
I don't know if I would call it the best ever but there are definitely some good things about it. I played closed and open beta, signed up for the lifetime and bought the Special Edition release. I am officially hooked!
Things I liked? Graphics, plenty to do, one quest leads to another and seems it doesn't matter where in Middle Earth you start, this is true. Group quests are fun.
Things I didn't like? Too much running around, not clear enough directions to where things are at (although it is improving and it helps to realize you need to spend time learning the lay of the land). Avatar creation is pretty limited and everyone looks pretty much like everyone else accept for some color variations.

who me ?
World of Warcraft is a proof that MMORPG quality should affect schedule/budget and not the other way around.
