Can somebody please give me the link or post pics of the game in low graphics settings? I google searched it and checked main website and can't find any. My friend wants me to show how the game looks on the low graphics settings because that is the only graphic setting he can play in without lag. Thank you in advance.

I'll check back tonight and post some. Graphics aren't the most important thing in a game to me, but from what I hear, I'm missing a lot.
I figure that someday I'll be able to upgrade and see what I've been missing. For now, I'm having fun as is.

Here's a comparison from lowest to ultra high settings in the same place, ascending. (6 settings total) There is a slight camera change for the last two to capture the flying birds that show up on very and ultra high settings. I do believe I accidentally left anti-aliasing on in all the screenshots though, fyi.

As you can see Medium is where the game becomes, in my opinion, playable. There first two settings would be unbearable. Then again, I've been playing on Ultra high for quite a long time...

When I played the beta, the game set my video options to low and it looked like crap + hiccuped every minute or two...set it to very low, looked like ULTRA crap (honestly, it's like playing Asheron's Call 2 *with shittier textures*! A 2007 game is looking like one from 5 years ago!
Turbine should have gotten off their asses and build a new engine...
And a top rig is 8x series NV or equivalent and a core duo processor... My rig is FAR from high end, one minute of Vanguard will show you. Which doesn't mean that its my rigs fault Vanguard is eating NASA computers for breakfast and still looks like crap...

I think you misunderstood. By playable, I meant Medium is the absolute LOWEST setting I would consider playing the game on. I would never play on the two lower settings. I play at Ultra high and the game is most definately playable there.
fyi - C2D E6600, 8800GTX, 4GB Memory... And my system doesn't flinch at anything in game.
Not to be harsh but do you really expect any game to look good when playing it on the lowest graphical settings? the settings are called LOW and VERY LOW for a reason. It will allow you to play the game but its not the way the developers intended it to be seen.
This game gives people with really dated rigs the possibility, to play the game decently, what would one expect more?

what do you think it would run like with 1-1.5g memory and a Geforce 7600GS? would I be able to run it smoothly on medium/high?
at the moment i have a 3.2ghz P4 and a low standard 128mb radeon card,and the card along with 512mb memory just doesnt cut it in populated areas so im going to upgrade.

It will allow you to play the game but its not the way the developers intended it to be seen. Guild Wars came out 2 years ago, and it looks better on low than LOTRO on low...heck, even WoW looks better on low than LOTRO on low...and LOTRO came out this year...oh wait, you mean to say that Turbine are using an engine that's older than my grandma, and they have been just "updating" it instead of making a brand new engine, especially for such an important title as LOTRO?
BTW, I am ashamed to post my system specs, but here they are:
AMD Athlon 2500+/512 mb RAM/ATI Radeon 9600 128mb/80 gb Maxtor HDD

HAHA expecting a game these days to look good on low...man this reply I quoted and the rest of his posts he has made in this thread made my co-workers wonder what was so funny...I showed them and they all had a good laugh, man this is great.

I hate to say it, but Low settings on WoW hardly look different from High... I mean, there is very little the graphics on WoW. Pretty textures, but from an engine standpoint, it's horribly weak. A good art team makes it look good, not a good engine.
Edit - forgot to mention. For a dev to be able to take a 4-5 year old engine and update and upgrade it to the point where it's pushing top end machines even today is pretty impressive. And it's not like it's pushing systems hard because of coding inefficiences. (ala VG)
