A Very Addicting game once you get the hang of it. Great graphics, Excellent music and a Fantastic community!
Its does have a story line which keeps you interested as you level. I would say that LoTRO is a excellent casual MMORPG to play. Yeah, you got a lot of folks racing to 50, but getting there and doing everything the game is giving you to do is a whole other thing.
Dont be quick to judge this game, give it a chance, once you hit around level 20-25 then discuss your thoughts. You will be surprised. (BETA does not count)
ATTENTION: If you are highly involved in another MMORPG, dont even waste your time trying to play this. You gotta go into this game with a clean thought and no distractions from another MMORPG to compare it with, cause if you do, you will just be another critic saying .. Dont Believe the Hype ..
