I kept putting this game off becuase of the pay per month thing, but as i was a lord of the rings fan i eventually bought it. the only game i could ever comapre this with is guild wars because thats the only other mo ive played. but actually its very different. for me its the type of game i can pick up and play , do a few quests and turn it off, this reason is because each quest can take quite a while and there is alot of running around between the huge maps. my first character is a hobbit, i could not believe the sheer amount of quests there was for me to do , in the shire alone! now i understand why people are paying monthly for games like this. overall its been a good purchase and cant wait to get further into the game. my bad points about the game is the slight stuttering you get when running around, even on any graphics setting, i usually play very high on 1024 x 768
