Having settled at the bottom of the sea, after a voyage on the USS Vanguard, I'm looking for a new home. Some things, about this game, have peeked my interest but I've yet to hear how the quests pan out. Are they generic kill XX amount of badgers and run from point A to point B or is there more too it?

Long term goals tend to focus on proving your worth in skills such as combat and exploration. You can't compare the game to VG
though. VG is more open ended and your not really forced down any path.
In Lotro on a average day I log on and decide where Im going to explore. I also pick a certain target for the day. Perhaps I want to prove to the locals or my people I am a spider hunter. Perhaps I want to prove my skill with the bow. Over time these long term quests make my day to day life feel purposeful. I never hurry unless my surroundings warrant it. I feel like I have a slower life. I may have moments of intense combat but unlike some games its not all harrowing adventure at all times. Sometimes I just spend the day hunting boar for skings. Heck my friends need it so why not?
All in all its a great game guiding you down a familiar storyline. If you enjoy Lord of the rings you may enjoy Lotro.
The slow life is sometimes the best.
yes.. there are point a 2 point b quests.. but tell me.. wich game aint there these kind of quests? i like the quests though.. they are so easy anyway... there are also kill this and that amount of a mob quests.. BUT! there are tons of instance and party quests wich are great, never tried a game that had this good instance quests.. so well.. yes there are hack and slash quests.. but also cool quests... u just have 2 live with the hack and slack crap... coz every mmorpg has em
