Post Mines of Moria -- how is Lotro now?

^^ as titled. i would like to know more about how the game plays and feels like right now. i've previously played the trial version of the core game for a while, and didn't really get into it....but i've always heard good things about it. so i guess if there's anything i, or any other previous nay sayers should know about the present state of the game, this would be a great time to tell us. :)

personally, i would like to know the community size and quality, the pve gameplay ( which i've heard it's superb ), and the pvp content. also, i couldn't quite warm up to the classes in the trial -- are they getting deeper and more exciting to play with?

oh yea, i'm a fan of the books and the movies. :)

my question is, how does is content with WoW? Being a wow veteran i find it extremely hard to transition to other MMORPG's as i find that WoW's style suits me perfectly. Things like the large customisability and vast, open but detailed environments is what gets me going lol.NikkiGlasgow

It's the standard that all MMO's will be compared to until it is outdone.

It's actually at 11.5 million.

it's actually a tad bothering when i started a thread and half of the replies talked about things i already knew or don't need to know....

anyway, looking forward to hear more from Lotro players. i notice how the classes are quite lore specific -- does that limit the gameplay?

i recently got myself a buddy key and am about to start playing, so i dig this up to ask for more gameplay advices :) which class should i pick as a starter? i'm looking for a well rounded and sophisticated class that shines in both solo and group scenario. are champion and rune keeper what i'm looking for?
