They are going to shut down some games' servers in next months. Probably the most surprising would be LotR Conquest. I was actualy thinking about getting it but not after reading this... http://www.gamefocus.ca/?nav=new&nid=8286 It wasnt a perfect game but its not that old yet. And as I dont know much about how PSN works, i want to ask- After they shut down the LotR Conquest servers, would i and my friends be able to ceate a private match?

I would forget about that right now. That is a big reason why online trophies should not exist.

Thanks for the linked version. Is there a way to link on ps3? Burnout 3 lasted long enough but LotR Conquest? Its just not that old. Or people really dont play it online anymore?

People probably don't care about that. Burnout 3 was very popular.

Every online enabled game should get at the very least a 4 year time frame before it's publisher decides to shut down the online server. As bad as some say the game was, EA shutting down The Lord of the Rings: Conquest game online servers should be considered illegal. People paid for this game, not everyone enjoyed it but some did and it is brutally unfair & deceiving what's going to happen to them.

they'd get sued! In fact people who bought/play The Lord of the Rings: Conquest online should sue EA.

Exactly. Now how would I feel if I bought that game, say, a week ago? And they say it wont be working online next month? That game is only fun online. Glad I didnt buy it then.

OH NO! My gaming world is crumbling around me!

Seriously, these games are terrible aside from Burnout 3 and have had their servers up for too long if anything.

I was wondering the same thing. I played it and the only thing that comes close to online service was the Downloadable Content screen. And it was empty all the time :-)

This is one of the reasons trophies are the bane of any PS3 gamer's existence. No matter how bad a game is, there are always those people that ABSOLUTELYPOSITIVELYMUSTHAVE that platinum and will lose sleep/social life/food/water/oxygen (gasp) to get it. If the game isn't that great (Lord of the Rings Conquest) stop playing it, go to a better game!

Well, I will generally play a game til I get a platinum, but I don't go out of my way to purchase/play mediocre games or get impossible achievements (impossible = Most online time sinks). if I know I can get the platinum, I normally play the game until i get it, so I feel like my money was worth it. For instance, LittleBigPlanet (which Im still working on the create trophy... which is kind of a pain)

The people that aim for the trophies will get more out of the game than someone who doesn't. Regardless of a bad game or not someone who got all the trophies generally feels good about it. Someone who cares nothing for it will play the game move on and get nothing from it. 2 sided coin.

I got the plat for LOTR Conquest this weekend haha and nodoubt bad game, but i had fun with a friend trying to do it all and it felt awesome getting those tough trophies.

Talk about a blast from the past. Burnout 3 was probably the best in the series for me. I looooved that game. My buddies and I played that game so much in college the copy I have barely even reads in my PS2.

this is why i haven't bought a Madden game since 95. Sports games should just do roster updates for each generation for $5-$10. To have a game that you can't play online after 2 years is nuts!

As much as LOTR conquest wasn't that good, it's still fun to play with friends. When I go over someone's house we usually play it because it's one of those simple, fun games that are basically just that, fun with friends. Granted, a new Star Wars Battlefield is far overdue, and that will probably overload their servers if it comes out.
