Kaocan - Thanks for the very thoughtful analysis and response; among the best so far. I appreciate the feedback.

Fair comments - perhaps "Industray Expectations" would be a better term than "Industry Standards" - honestly I struggled a bit with how to word it when I wrote the original post.

Laughing-man - While your reply was a bit tongue-in-cheek, and taunting, I'll still respond to your comments. -- Pad & Paper and Friends Notes: I often play on 2 or 3 different systems (my desktop, my notebook computer, sometimes on someone el…

Thanks for your comments. Actually I did think it was necessary to include some perspective on my comments. I'm typically accused of being overly harsh because I focus on identifying areas for improvement and making systems better. I also wanted thi…

Originally posted by teakbois Again, I 100% agree these things *should* be in game but to call them industry standards (especially the first one) is a bit of a stretch. Thanks for your feedback. Well, that raises a secondard question - what …

In the same tone as the OP, here are a couple other things that - if not innovative - are certainly appreciated and missing from other games. Crafting -- Ability to craft with mods from your cargo hold (i.e. "bank" in other MMOs); this is a fant…

Their Membership Matrix provides an excellent comparison of the various options - from free to platinum - and makes it easy to see the differences between all of them. http://www.everquest2.com/_themes/default/images/extended/membershipMatrix.jpg

My son and I are both in this category. We saw the free weekend announcement and were eager to try it out. We've spent all of today attempting to download the game without much success. I understand server load issues, but it certainly makes me w…

I meant to include there are some areas (higher level zones) that are very difficult to explore at low levels. Not impossible, as long as you don't mind respawning a lot. I'm one to push the limits. In WoW, for example, I managed to take an alli…

I see you are running Vista. What is your Windows Experience Index? Mine are 5.9s across the board and I can run the game on max settings. Looking at your specs, I'd think you would be able to do so as well.

The terrain and zones in this game are very compelling. They have done a great job creating the atmosphere of Middile Earth. As far as seamless, there are distinct routes in and out of the various zones. For example, in most zones you can not ju…

Jesse - Sent you an invite.

I recommend you check out the Beginner's Guide to Crafting @ http://lotro.warcry.com/content/guides/crafting. That guide will give you a very good overview of the crafting system. Whether it is fun or not is a very subjective question. I tend …

You're welcome. If you join Brandywine, fire my main (Valorond) and in-game message and I'll hook you up with some good low-level starting gear. Note, that if you start out on the trial, you'll not be able to receive mailed items or trade whlie o…

The most populous server is Brandywine. All of the servers are PVE, there's no distinction between servers with that regard. The only PVP in Lord of the Rings Online is Monster Play, which occurs in a specific zone where player characters right …

Thanks for the update. The forums were not up earlier. Glad it's only the login servers, sucks for us that are not in, but at least not everyone's put out. For anyone considering LOTRO, this is a very infrequent occurrence. I think maybe twice …

They had booth in the Exhibit Hall at both the Origins and Gen Con game conventions this summer. The game looks very interesting and their booth was always busy. I'd agree with you about the advertising though. A convention game booth does reach…

At the time you put in your key code, you do have to enter a credit card number and choose a payment method. (For example, it sounds like you chose the single month $14.95 plan) However, that's just for future payment, after that initial 30 days…

Right now you can play for over seven weeks (44 days) for only $10. Two weeks trial - 14 days Digital Download - $10 - includes your copy of the game plus another 30 days. If you purchase the digital download during your trial, the 30 days a…

I've only been playing LOTRO for two weeks, so I can't speak of any performance issues before that time. However, I've been very happy with what I've seen so far. As others have said, major content upgrades are usually accompanied with problems. …
