"All in all the game has departed from something special the token world back to just another game with a token skin on it."

Freudian slip, eh Eric?  Still on point, though.

I'm a lifetime founder so I'll be checking to see how long it takes for Turbine to get back on course with this game.  If they do manage to listen like they used to and get away from their current bent on old style, outdated MMO "features," great.  I'd love to return to logging in and playing LotRO regularly.  If not, I'll just continue beta testing Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Well you dont speak for all of us... I have played LotrO since beta and think MoM have been alot better than SoA was and that Turbine have been improving the game alot since what it was like back the.

The only thing I dont like is that they are catering to much to the solo grinders.... and guess what? The majority of the people complaining are the solo grinders for some wierd reason.. But if you are looking for a solo game SWTOR will probably be great for you ;)

Well I have to say, even as a supporter, I am a bit baffled and vaguely annoyed now that they have announced some more details.

On the one hand, it's cool that I might be getting Mirkwood for free....on the other, it's annoying that I cannot really tell for sure from the way they worded their "special offer".

Also, this new "adventurers pack" thing for the 2 extra character slots and some perqs is a massive let down and the start of the slide down into the abyss of microtransaction hell - which *will* make me quit the game faster than anything.
