Wow arent you an ignorant fanboy. Im gonna have to call bullshit on this. If you knew anything about what MEO was going to be like, you would know the game was much better than this crap Turbine is putting out. Shut up unless you know anything.
Main differences:
-- MEO wouldve had the entire fucking map; LOTRO has the NW portion only, expansions for the rest -- lame.
-- MEO wouldve had PvP and faction-based warfare between the good and evil; LOTRO doesnt -- ignorant of Turbine.
-- in MEO you couldve played orcs as well as the good side.
-- MEO was much better in regards to player freedoms; LOTRO is class-based EQ-based bullshit.
-- MEO had innovations; LOTRO is the result of bad design decisions and will ultimately have a mediocre fate.
-- MEO was by far a better game; LOTRO is a gutted-out Horizons-esque affair. No fucking thanks.
-- Turbine is a crappy company that had 1 successful game 6 years ago. This wont be it.
-- there are far better games coming out, LOTRO just isnt competitive (ooo nice graphics, so what).
-- i dont care about how much Lore they stick to, so fucking what?

I thought MEO was just the placeholder name Turbine used when they started production... or did I accidentally make that up?
In addition to not being able to be a female dwarf, from what I understand you also cannot be a female Captain. I think that is the only class with a gender restriction. (Actually only Male / Humans can be a Captain)

MEO was the original incarnation of the game that Sierra picked up from another company many years ago and then canned cause they thought it wouldn't make the pesos for them.
MEO was the original LotR online. Turbine is not using any of the code from the original game even though they bought the rights to it however.

If ignorance is indeed bliss. Then Ammon is definately drowning in a pool of happiness.

Ah, ok... that actually all sounds familiar. I'm at that point where, when I try and remember something new, something old falls out the other side. You are, as usual, a fountain of information. Someone should pay you for remembering stuff.

Heh, well, if I'm an ignorant Fanboy, you're just plain ignorant :P
Everything you listed is what you personally wanted in a MMO based on Tolkien's works. Those "features" would not change the game in some magical way that would make everyone fall in love with the game, drop all other games and flock to it.
By the way, do your homework before you sling insults. I use the same handle so I'm not hard to find. I've taken plenty of shots at Turbine and questioned them many times. All you've shown here is you got insults and no facts (or tact) to back up your points. Just mud-slinging. Hey, look on the bright side. WIth that skill set you could run for president!

Ok, point 1-3 is utter rubbish, these feature were never in the game. They did have an alignmant system no Evil races (which LOTRO has in form of MP) but it was never stated it would involve PvP. After that it is just your ignorant belives based on nothing but your own ego for not getting what you want.
