…Unless you like endless hours of grinding for crafting materials and gold to pay the insane costs of everything. Or like being constantly under attack just traveling from point A to point B. Or like Boss fights where you’re always fighting hordes of adds. Or like to be endlessly stunned, disarmed, crippled, snared, poisoned, bled, diseased or otherwise impeded whenever you fight anything. Did I mention the quests that have you running all over Eriador taking hours to do just for a few experience points and crappy rewards?
Getting to level 50 is long and frustrating because in order to level reasonably fast you need to do the quests and most of the quests require a 6 person group to do, and it’s difficult to get such a group together. Leveling up solo is your only other option and that takes a tremendously long time to do.
So… If you like being frustrated and bored then this game is for YOU!

Nothing too new if you’ve played any of the other Turbine games. Got so bored I didn’t even play out the preview. Don’t bother buying it based on shill reviews from Turbine insiders, wait for the inevitable free preview. A rehash of Stormreach with Hobbits filling in for halflings, funny how they move exactly the same. Oh and expect much less fun items compared to the D&D license

I really looked forward to playing this. I read the books, own the movies, even tried with Dungeons and Dragons once. I have really enjoyed playing World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Oblivion and other games like that.
I only played LOTRO for a little over two hours. Both hours were frustrating, tedious, boring work for two reasons:
1) It was difficult to control my avatar. The direction buttons were so sensitive, if I turned a little, I turned too far. I weaved constantly, falling off steps and running into walls. I have never played a game before in which this was an issue. I checked the interface options, but couldn’t figure out how to change this.
2) The four quests I finished were boring and tedious, and yet seemed to be the only way to advance in the game. Guild Wars quests are engaging like a good book. WoW quests are easy and optional. LOTRO quests made me feel like like a dog doing tricks to entertain a mindless robot.
Dungeon Runners is much more fun, and 100% free. This game is a huge disappointment.

Have you played World of Warcraft? If you have then this is a less impressive copy of that game. Virtually everything I tried was identical to WoW. However, what was missing was the impressive richness of WoW. Instead the world (at least what I saw of it) was dull and uninviting. Using the mouse to move was sporadic at best.
I was very disapointed. I had been lookiing forward to this game.

Game
LoTRO
GENIUS – in it’s complexity yet accesibility
WoW
Designed for idiots ONLY
Story
LotRo
The GREATEST ever told and after the movie trilogy it may have even surpassed the Bible.
WoW
IS THERE A STORY?
GRAPHICS
LotRO
Even on a less than top of the line box… LotRO is STILL the most beautiful in any game ever developed including DX10 Conan
WoW
Are you kidding? Some of the lamest graphics EVER unles you are 10 or under. The original Zelda looked better than WoW.
User Interface
LotRO – 11+ year old tried and true Turbine Interface. Developed before WoW was even a concept
WoW
Ripped nNOT from the headlines but from Turbine’s development team and claimed as Blizzard’s own 8 years after it was developed by Turbine.
This game probably has won more awards and has recieved more POSITIVE press than ANY game ever, even Halo, but thankfully the general population of WoW holds a collective I.Q. of about 2 and find LotRO too challenging for their limited ability. Most have thankfully gone back to MMORPGs for DUMMIES.
LotRO is now thinning down to a superlative community ranging in age from 10 to 75, but the average maturity of LotRO’s youngest is at least in the 20s… the leetle WoW kiddies are thankfully gone.
