I like the atmosphere. It stays true to the books themselves. I like seeig the characters I read on the pages and taking quests from them ..it just seems, more important.

Lotro's groundwork is based completely around the Lore of Middle Earth, and I am an avid fan of the Books and Movies. Being able to not only live my life in Middle Earth, but to create my OWN story behind my character, that was what really brought my eyes to Lotro. The storyline behind the game was also so rich and inviting that I just can't stop playing! Also, the goal of Lotro is meant to involve you in the lore, not force you to grind to the highest level and THEN get you started in the lore. The whole game is brought up on avoiding the black hole of other games, in this case Grinding for levels.
Leveling in Lotro comes naturally and easily, there is no real need to force yourself to grind to get your next level. It just all flows naturally, and thus is more casual, Lotro is defently not meanth to rush to the max, the enjoyment comes from the jorney to it, i am now level 45 captain, and have a moster char of 49% and a level 12 hunter alt. So far this is the best mmo if played in my life, but be warent, its defently not for hardcore style players or grinders, i play this game difrently i take quest for quests and realy get myself in the story instead of other mmo's were i used to take a whole bunch of quests and finish them as fast as possble, is not the way to go, but try the lotro trail and look for yourself, my taste is not yours...
Playing: World of Warcraft.
Played: Lord of the Rings Online, Starwars Galaxies.
Tried: Starwars the Old Republic, Everquest 2, Guild Wars, Vanguard, Age of Conan, Aion.
I haven't played Lotro since closed beta, but I finally purchased a copy of the game on Black Friday and I'm amped to get started (I chose to finish my studies before I start). I still can't believe Best Buy was selling the game for $9.99 (originally $29.99)!
Just have to second that one

Amen , the community is great.The folks on Laurelin are the best
I love the pvp in the ettenmoors. Now it's heavily slanted towards the free persons but us dedicated monster types love it. So many in fact that Turbine is having to spend development time on the mp side on what orginally was supposed to be a side game. But I've been at it for 5 months now and play everyday. It's not for everyone and it's not your typical pvp as there is no real balance but if you ever wanted to be a spider, wolf, orc or uruk this is your chance. You just have to play a free person up to level 10 (fairly easy to do since that side of the game is quest driven).

I liked that subscription website you posted. Oddly (and I'm not trying to be argumentative) I couldn't find lotro subs over 300k there.
I wish that I could fit in better with the community and find fellowships more often, though. Also, I am not very impressed with the combat system, it needs some spicing up. Overall, one of my favorite mmos to date, but it's no Original Star Wars Galaxies or Everquest II.
