General Discussion

I cant play lotro anymore.  The game has become way too boring for me.  I loggod on for the first time in about two months tonight and couldn't take it anymore.  It reminds me to much of  WOW.  This is the same feeling i got after two months of playing WOW.  Not sure why it took me so long to realize this.  I am going to stop playing mmo's for a while.  Mostly just waiting for a good sci-fi mmo.  I think  i'll go play gta4 on my 360.  Blowing up cop cars with a rocket launcher just makes the day seem better, or running over helpless civilians.  There are plenty of good single player games for the pc and 360 i havent played yet.

Your job is to protect your money from the daemons that would try to steal it!

Hello OP what is the point of this thread?

Maybe you could tell us your story why it became boring?

Even if he doesn't explain ... I can sort of get where he's coming from. I'm in the trial, I'm at level 8, and I'm just so bored of questing that I haven't logged in since yesterday. And I started the trial yesterday. ;)

Are all the players praising this game, saying it's the best MMO around, all Tolkien devotees or something? I found it really boring too. It has no life to it. Nice scenery, that's it.

Of course you're bored with LoTRO, it's a simple game set in easy mode for begiiners.

This is mainly how I too felt when I played. Its unfortunate timing really as if this came out before say EQ2 or Vanguard I would not be so inclined to be "bored". Just myself, have spent so much time questing in these other games that by the time I reached LoTR.... I just didn't have it in me to do it all over again.

 

Agree with both of you, the game is not bad if they release it 5 years ago. The whole grind / quest in fantasy world just lost the magic for me. Also, this game bring nothing new, it play just like Everquest or WoW.

Still waiting for WAR and see how it goes, if it turns out to be bad, I think I will leave MMO for good. Most of the so call "new ideas" from Mystic are not new but will see how it turns out.

Ok gz everyone you seem to be the exact crowd lotro is not aimed at. Some of us actually dont think its fun to camp a gate for hours or mine all night long or to do 6h raids to get a peice of set that's only feature is to glow in the dark and look bling bling

Weeeeell, I'm glad we can agree. Gatecamping is boring. Mining is boring. 6 hour raids are boring. Questing/level grind is boring. Reputation grind is boring. What crowd are MMO's aimed at? People willing to waste their time on crap? Then, no, I'm probably not part of that crowd.

I agree, also LOTRO is not part of that crowd?

Quest / level grind - check

Raids in pvp zone - check

Mining - check

trade skills grind - check
