In America I have bad teeth. If I lived in England my teeth would be perfect.
Say what you want about the laggy combat system, the badly thought out skills, crap crafting system, and terrible PvP implementation... but anyone who knocks this game on graphics looses all credibility.... Instantly. Don't feed the troll people

Or a few hours even. But so what? 12 hour a day MMO's are for people who canny get laid... I'll keep my regular sex life and enjoy my 2-3 hrs of gaming a day, thanks.
So you have sex 9-10 hours a day?
2-4, and 8 hours working, 1 hour travel to and from, 1 hour eating, 30 minutes running, 1 hour at the gym, a few hours left for gaming and then some sleep...there's no way I could play the way I used to with this lifestyle. I would be forced to compromise several parts of my routine, and the only things I could take out would be the sex and the working out. Now if someone is currently engaged in the 10-14 hr a day playstyle and maintianing a full-time job, which I have done in the past, it's safe to say that they are neglecting their health and sexual activity. If it's by choice then my above comment doesn't apply, but if it isn't by choice then...
If the day comes when I'm not getting it anymore, you can bet your epics I'm going to be playing a hell of a lot.
And hey, if you like gaming more than other forms of social interaction, more power to you, I think gaming is just as valid as anything else. Even moreso in many cases. I'm not trying to even suggest that choosing to play over dating or physical relationships is a bad thing. It can be a cerebral experience matching, and in some cases surpassing those you feel in rl. All I was saying is 12-hr a day games are for people who canny get laid.

no i think your wrong there could be other reasons why someone plays so much each day. Your theory is that someone plays that much each day they are sad and cannot ge laid. Have you considered the people that are maybe disabled or what not.?
LOTRO is better than alot MMOS that have come out lately. Its a pretty decent game. What MMORPG are you guys playing that is so awesome that it makes LOTRO such a awful game to you? I just don't know whats out that is really alot more awesome. I played a ton MMORPGS since EQ 1 and really want to know what the hell you guys are playing that is so awesome? Guess like all MMORPGs are crap to your standards or are you a fan boy of one trolling around saying other games are crap?
I do like the guy who said he bought and intsalled it and then uninstall same day too. We now know kind of people saying games are crap. How can people like this say a game is crap when they don't even try to get into a game?
First time I played this game. Downloaded the free trial. What a load of crap. It reminds me of some first generation generic MMO.. no wonder it's only 9.95 month.. and the graphics look about 4 years old even on ultra high settings with DX10 enabled.. I don't foresee Turbine getting any big franchises to build on anymore... or releasing another MMOG anytime soon.
What differentaites a good troll from a poor one is the ability of a good troll to hit a soft spot. You fail miserably.
bought it, installed it, played it, logged out, un installed, threw it in the trash.
I agree. LOTRO is a pile of garbage and Turbine is a pretty terrible developent company as a whole. It's a pretty sad excuse for a MMORPG.
If it didn't have the LOTR name stamped onto it , it would have been cancelled a long time ago. And it wouldnt surprise me if it soon ends up like AC2.

You see this is an example of a bad troll. I see we have another WOW fanbois trolling on the lotro forums then.
Yet....you know what they say when you ASSUME!!!
Because that is what you have done...
If you noted the posting patterns for this person, so far, they have not even touched the WoW forums here, and have posted in several area's
You dont have to be a WoW fanboi to hate LOTRO...believe me..I know..(even though I would rather play WoW than LOTRO...)

Unsubstantiated comments about specific or general games will be penalized in nearly the same way attacks against people will. The exception is that you can say mean things about games provided you back it up with reasons.
Example: "Game X sucks." is not a legitimate comment. "Game X sucks, because..." is acceptable.

LOL! No worries Woopin. It's not like anyone pays attention to these obvious "hate accounts". What is a "hate account" you might ask? An account created for the sole purpose of spewing hate about games so that you don't have to worry about your real account being banned.

no i think your wrong there could be other reasons why someone plays so much each day. Your theory is that someone plays that much each day they are sad and cannot ge laid. Have you considered the people that are maybe disabled or what not.?
Yes I have considered them.. but even still a disabled person playing 10-12 hours a day is 'retarded'. There is no disability that justifies sitting at a pc 10-12 hours a day.. except possibly agoraphobia. If you are smart enough to play any of these top MMO's for a sustained period day in and day out you are capable of succeeding at other tasks. And no I don't think gaming is hard, but stupid people do suck at it.
And where did I say anything about people playing because they are "sad" and cannot get laid? I just said cannot get laid... some people are happy not having that type of contact. If you read on you will see that I also said it's okay to not get laid.. but if you are getting laid, and keeping yoursefl healthy, you aren't playing an MMO 10-12 hours a day.
Let's try to stay on the topic of MMO's in general at least. It doesn't really matter why or how much time SOMEONE ELSE wants to play anything they darn well please. It's their life... they can live it as they please.
With a proper PC(and knowledge about finding graphical settings) this mmorpg is mind blowing in terms of graphics. If the graphics aren't your style, well, thats your own personal opinion, but it's a fact that the graphics are technologically good. Very good.
I also notice so many lotro bashers and I can't understand why they keep posting their "opinions" The thing is, mostly those opinions are backed up by idiotic arguments that either are just plain stupid, or really don't matter that much at all.
If you don't like an mmo, why post here then? Do you see me posting in the lineage forums? Saying lineage sucks? No, I don't. I post on the lotro/wow/everquest forums since I like those games, but you won't see me near lineage forums yelling; "Lineage sucks!" That is called: "Having no life at all"
Everyone is entitled on their own opinion, but saying a game sucks, a game that had tons of proper scores on gaming websites, has a nice amount of players, and is very well recieved, is just plain stupid and silly.

Just because you dont like a game does not actually give you an accurate judgement, this game has an 8,3 ratiing for a reason, yes I know that mmorpg.com doesnt rate always correctly but that doesnt change the fact that it has plenty of subs and believe me this game is far from failing like ac2.
And to the op and everyone else who said the dwarf area is crap you need to get off your high horse because you where just proven wrong the evidence is in this thread.
It is simple lotro will usually not appeal to hardcore pvpers or raiders it really is that simple it will attract a certain kind time to move on and stop complaining about a unique and beautiful game.
i found lotr very shallow....it didnt have anything that stood out to set its self apart from the mmo crowd...pvp was unfull filling and the pve content became old very quickly.....they just seemed to slap together a lack luster and unimpressive storyline and chacter dev and just add to the list of so so mmorgs
First time I played this game. Downloaded the free trial. What a load of crap. It reminds me of some first generation generic MMO.. no wonder it's only 9.95 month.. and the graphics look about 4 years old even on ultra high settings with DX10 enabled.. I don't foresee Turbine getting any big franchises to build on anymore... or releasing another MMOG anytime soon.
This reasoning is little short of BS. A product must be bad if its not the most pricy? As for the graphics, you must have a very bad tuning of your DX10. I think its a consensus among players that LOTRo is one of the most polished and beautiful game that works great on DX9 and DX10, and the ultra setting is very lovely if run on the right machines. Unless the OP lists his hardware, and discuss how it is 4 years old on his PC, I have very little trust in his "observation".
Turbine going down? Come on, Turbine has been diligently rolling out expansions, free. Their system is so stable and smooth they need spent little time bug fixing. The expansions are free, so maybe the OP can again conclude that all the new content are crap b/c they are free.
As for comparing LOTRo to first generation MMO, that is utter BS. How does UO compare with LOTRo? If graphics are what OP is talking about, then his argument is total nonsense. Anyone here want to claim that UO in 1990s has better graphics? As for gameplay, the 2 games are totally different.
Well can't say I have come across a more absurd review that this one, unsubstantiated and well ... Why am I responding. This could very well be called a troll post.
Lord of the rings should have been awesome, but they played it safe and did what works, (dwarves and elves*throws up*), I was thinking this was going to be epic, a true battle for middle earth but it turns out its a battle of mediocrity, between this mmo and others of the same genre', dude I agree with you.

Really, it is.
No, the game is not junk. The graphics are just fine and for those who enjoy the style of game that it is, it is an enjoyable experience.
I gave it up, too much like what I'd played before, but that doesn't mean it is without value. And I'm pretty sure its going to be around for a while.
