  • I'll wait to see what the combat update looks like but I prefer the present 'slower pace'. This is one of the key things I like about LOTRO. I'm an 'older' gamer and the twitch factor of gaming turns me off with each additional year of age. When …
  • Originally posted by bluegrazz Yup, the ambient sound of LOTRO is unmatched (IMO)- I played on a fairly inexpensive 5.1 system and it was amazing (seriously) to kick up the ambient and turn the music off. You could literally hear every sound arou…
  • Originally posted by whoeps What I don't get is why it has to be about graphics all the time..   lotro's graphics are overwhelming compared to wow but compare them to age of conan and they are average, still pre-moria lotro (up to 50ish that is) …
  • Complaining about the graphics being bland in LOTRO is like saying the sun isn't bright enough I find the character models to be on par or better than other MMOs launched two years ago. The world graphics are unparalleled. I will say that the …
  • I think the game is great. You really need to play through at least level 20 before making a final decision though (preferably level 30 so you can get a taste for group quests). From what I can tell, you won't need the Mirkwood expansion until you…
  • While I agree that the character animations could use improvement, I don't have major issues with the horses. They are much better than WOW but I've never heard anyone say they passed on WOW because of the silly mounts (and they are silly in the ext…
  • Originally posted by Eanok I have been looking forward to try this game for a while now, though I have to find some time as my game time is somewhat limited atm. I'm actually playing EvE and AoC, both are games with outstanding graphics so I'm no…
  • Aion is an Anime themed, PvP heavy MMOG. I can just look at the screen shots and tell it isn't for me. I suppose I am the wrong person to review Aion.
  • I don't see much conversion happening between LOTRO and AION. Both the genre and the game type (PvP versus PvE) is so different I just cant see people who are really into LOTRO going to a game like AION.
  • That a good point Speiderbob. Initially I thought it would be better to have more variety of mobs in each area. However, now that I have played for a while I like it as it is. The placement and variety of mobs is more realistic and therefore more i…
  • I'm a lifer and still playing...though I just went with the Lifetime Subscription a couple months ago
  • I agree about the animations. They are the worst part of the graphics. Having said that, they are not THAT bad, it's just the rest of the presentation is so well done. Male characters need a more fluid confident stride and female characters need a…
  • I don't think the vast majority of MMOs are worth the monthly fee. I suppose it all depends on what one likes. As for LOTRO, I found it worthy of the Lifetime Membership.
  • If you are a mature gamer and looking for a mature crowd, go Landroval. If you are a "leet speaking gamerz", go with Brandywine. Alternatively, if you don't care for the more cerebral elements of the Landroval crowd, but the Brandywine server is t…
  • It all depends on your play style. The runekeeper is a duel DPS/Healing class. The traditional roles are as follows... Tank = Guardian Healer = Minstrel Ranged DPS = Hunter Melee DPS/Off  Tank = Champion   The other classes are more of…
