    I'll blame it on them playing it on a shaudy computer. 7 for sound 8 for graphics I mean really no other games compete with the sound track or visuals currently. Yet others have gotten rated higher. Though if they beta tested the low-res client I could understand.

    I dont hate it but considering what it is at right now i dont think it deserves a rtating over 7. When its seasoned a bit ill reevaluate but till then......so, wow, guild wars, eve, eq2 deserve a rating over 7, why lotro don't?

    because those games have been out a LOT longer and have a lot more features and upgrades than LOTRO. Also your game has only just come out and you giving it a review so early is a joke.

    I don't put too much faith in anything on this site nowadays the rating will be trashed by trolls and their alts before morning I promise. As far as MMORPGs official review everyone is entitled to their opinion. Not sure how they can give service a 7 on release day unless they had issues though, guess she did not care for the community much either since she gave us all a 7.

    The game will drop, but it will stay around the top 10. Even the Tolkien fans are impressed with the game. Plus, it will please casual gamers such as myself.  The community in the game is also the best I have ever been a part of.

    At this point only 229 people have ranked LOTR Online.



    The rating of a game does not become statistically significant until 2,500 or more players have ranked the game.



    So you may as well sit back and enjoy the game for a while and wait for people to rank it after they have had a taste...

    I think this game deserves to be on the top of the list for a while.  Even those of you that feel the need to hate on the game have to admit that it sucks less than everything else.  It isn't perfect.  It's a little small in scope and scale overall... but it is only one day out the door, and running better than a lot of games do in their first several months.  Maybe better than Vanguard ever will.  Beyond that, it is pretty darn fun to play.  I won a beta spot here six months ago and Have been as high as lvl 41... I am still enjoying playing just as much as when i first started.  Not only is it a blast to play, and runing silky smooth, the game is simply gorgeous.   I still stop and say wow once in a while looking a new spot in the world.

    You guys can hate all you want, but this game is going to see a lot of success.  While you guys sit here on the forums lashing out at people because your jealous that they found a game more fun than forum-wars... I'll be driving my hobbit through a sea of orcs and goblins, one knee-cap at a time ;)

    That's not so often that happens.

    And surely not with a 9.3 rating.

    It will take a while before the bot programs can be reconfigured. Give it time, it will drop.

    O the humanities or people bashing games they don't like so it raises the game they play higher. One reason you have to read reviews over going to this site and just looking at ratings as it doesn't limit accounts to IP's.

    Which is why I made the joke that the bot programs haven't kicked in yet to lower the score   I mean look at the stupid gold sellers spamming this site.  Could they have crappier web designers here at MMORPG.com?

    In a site which WoW isn't in the top 5 I wouldn't take it too srsly.. sorry

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

    Wow should compete for the 1. along with Eve, imo, but LOTRO has its place there too, after the releasehype, i hope

    it can stay at least in the top 3, it deserves it.

    off:

    I always wonder about people, who vote games like City of Heroes into the top, then come here, and bash LOTRO for having a boring combat.... sigh... somethings definetaly wrong here. even the review has weird scores, saying Lotro has perfect atmosphere, then rating graphics as high as way old games were rated. I think authors have some sorts of responsibility, as mmorpg.com is an information portal for many, and they decide which game to try after getting the information from here. Either they should re-review older games,  or they should rate the game, considering other games.

    I have to say if LOTRO knocks off one of those CITY of HEROES/VILLAINS games id say LOTRO deservs to be in the top 6 just for that.

I love the game, but did not give it all tens, I was honest with how I rated it. Unfortunately, dishonest zeros have a disproportianately high impact on the ratings. (Ironically, the better the game, the more the zeros will skew the honest numbers).
    You are of course quite wrong as not only has LOTRO gone down in thee overall rating but EVERY other game on the game list has gone up too. I dont know why but when a new game sucha s space cowboy comes online it goes right to the top and ecvery other game goes down the list and loses tons of Points.


    People are fickle.

Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit."

    Have you played WAR, or is that just a hype-induced guess?  If the latter, you have more faith in EA than I do. :)

    Faith in EA? Rofl. I haven't had faith in them since they fired all the original Origins guys and canceled all the team was working on. Yeah EA left a real bad taste in my mouth after the UO crap with UO:R then changing it to a completely different game at AoS.

    EA didn't fire the Origins guys, most of them quit when EA started merging alot of their smaller outposts into their Cali and Orlando resort sized corporate buildings of mass evil.    I don't like EA (i think ea learned their lesson with mmos thanks to UO which was already dying before they bought it anyway)  either but I have faith in Mythic and most especially the owners of the IP GamesWork Shop! One of the oldest game making companies that hasn't sold out or gone under (as in table top / board game/ minatures).

    Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!
