Keep it clean

Well I played beta up till launch then for some reason my computer just quit running it so I had to cancel my account. I have just recently built a new computer and am looking into lorto becuase I didnt quit becuase of the game but my computer.

How is 1-50?

What are the high pop servers and easiest place to group for leveling?

How do the lore master play both group and solo?

Is any of the raid stuff close to the hardcore style of wows high end dungeons?

Im still waiting on my os and moniter so while I wait ill be picking a mmo to play.

Prepare to drop

I think they have made the leveling from 1-50 almost perfect. It was a little dry on solo content some lvl-ranges but they have been fixed now so you can easily solo to cap if you want. There is also alot of group-content that mostly gives superior rewards...

 

Lore-master i a really cool class that has some solo-problems eary on but becomes much better ones you get some more skills... as most classes they are much wanted at end-game and their ability to give power (mana) to groupmates and remove wounds and disease debuffs makes them very important (plus CC and decent DPS)

 

LotrO is a casual game and even the raids are pretty casual. there are only 2 raid dungeons (12 man and 24 man) but they are well designed and have alot of story connected to them. Killing the last bosses takes alot of skill and cordination but I guees they are not comparable to WoWs "hardcore" raids!

 

Have fun and welcome to Middle-Earth!

If you're coming to LOTRO looking for uber WoW-like raids you'll be disappointed.  This game is about the lore, story, and the adventure.  It's in a player's best interest to not rush through 1-50 in hopes of getting to "endgame."  There's no epeen in LOTRO, very few players care about your gear.  In fact most people run around in goofy cosmetic costumes anyway.

The 1-50 content is very robust.  Lots of opportunity for both group and solo play with Evendim, Forochel, and the new Angmar redesign.

If you like Tolkien and Middle-earth lore savor the journey and take your time to 50.
