  • Excellent poll.  Of course I used it for the same selfish purposes that the OP did. I have adopted a wait and see attitude.  I will not consider purchasing this game until it has been subjected to a great deal patching to fix its obvious issues. S…
  • Originally posted by Benjola Honest review but I really find it a bit sad that fans of all MMOs accept unfinished and halfassed games just because they are fans of the IP. It doesn't happen in single player games. People were loud and clear abou…
  • Originally posted by toddze Originally posted by SKIPADI Due to my excitement over FFXIV, I decided to resub to FFXI.  I started over again as I couldn't find the account info for my old high level Beast Master (BST).  What a pleasant surprise,…
  • From some of the replies, I get the feeling that we got some 'sand worshipping, Krate Dragon hugging', environmentalists here.  I mean, who wants to watch the two suns set over some empty 'Dune Sea', when it can be filled, with houses, factories and…
  • Originally posted by Jixx This biggest hang up I had with the first FF mmo was that your character couldn't even kill a same level(con) mob.  If XIV is the same I know I won't play.         Killing even-con mobs solo was no problem in F…
  • Originally posted by ic0n67 Just out of curiosity ... why are you playing only to solo? Wouldn't that be the same and an offline game? Why pay the subscription then. I have spend about a grand on this game and if i spend a grand on teh game just …
  • I play both Lotro and FFXI.   Soloing is possible in both games, but Lotro is much easier.  While in FFXI a death can cost you a level, in Lotro it is no more than a minor inconvenience. I think both games are excellent, but FFXI is definately mor…
  • In response to the first quoted paragraph: PvP players will use a similar argument for complaining that they cannot attack players outside of red circles.  Except that the relationship is always that of aggressor to victim, so what they are complain…
  • Vetarnias, I have been watching this game for some time.  I have always found your posts both here and on the main forums to be among the most well reasoned and least inflammatory.  That said, even though I am not a player I do have some thoughts.…
  • I can understand how many feel.  I am currently subscribed to both LOTRO and EQ2.  I play lotro because I am a huge fan of JRR Tolkien and the world he created.  Turbine did a great job of bringing that world to life.  However.... I feel like noth…
  • Originally posted by infrared1 If you like to solo in an MMORPG, why the hell would you play one? Commonly MMO doesn't not just mean multiple people playing at the same time doing solo content. If you wanted to do that in a Star Wars themed game …
  • Yes,  it is significantly more difficult to solo right now. I am primarily a soloer myself.   I roll my toons on fairly well populated servers and then I choose to solo.  I also prefer to play Smugglers and Spys which indicates that I am something…
  • Originally posted by Paragus1 Originally posted by SKIPADI I would suggest that a lot of MMO's today would be thrilled to have 30,000 players logging in each day. Just my opinion. Maybe, but most pay to play MMOs should be pulling in at least …
  • Speaking as some one who has never played Vanguard ( I am an LOTRO fan).  I would say that the data in all three graphs, if true, represents a game that given its shaky start is in suprisingly robust condition. Charts 2 and 3 indicate steady chara…
  • All classes have some soloability.  I personally prefer the Guardian (Tank) class for soloing. There are many quests that require a group.  Groups have been pretty easy to find in my experience. Hope this helps.
  • I find having 2 gb of RAM to be very helpful.  On my older XP system 1 gb was sufficient to run with settings on high with intermittent lag.  With 2 gb my lag has cleared up and I have been able adjust certain setting much higher. On my wife's new…
  • Originally posted by maddogmikie  Originally posted by phanatx did you check your system tray? You might have minimized it by accident, adn all you gotta do is right click on the ring in the system tray, and click on Login... I saw the ring …
  • Originally posted by Daedalus732 Originally posted by SKIPADI Thank you for your politely written post. I am curious however as to what you wanted the content of LOTRO to be.  Your post primarily lists specific things you didn't care for, but g…
  • Originally posted by binary_0011 is player housing really that important?????????? In my opinion, yes.  Player housing can provide the player with a strong feeling of connection to the game world.  This is particularly important in games based…
  • Thank you for your politely written post. I am curious however as to what you wanted the content of LOTRO to be.  Your post primarily lists specific things you didn't care for, but gives no  concrete suggestions as to what would have pleased you. …
