Theres limited grouping, Most of the time theres no reason to group, all gear is craftable. It maybe have a good story but thats about it. It falls into the norm, how the hell did it win best game?

this.

IMO, unless you are a EVE-head, LOTRO is the best P2P MMO on the market right now.

LotRO really is a great game; I liked it but it just wasn't quite as much fun as WoW.

If I had more time to play, (or wasn't playing WoW) then I'd definately go for LotRO.

  • Lotro is a good game in a sea of average/horrible games
  • People are tired of Warcraft dominating everything
  • Eve players somehow missed a year of voting here
  • There really are not very many worthwhile games to vote for

Because more people have a higher opinion of LOTRO then you did.  Get over yourself and realise that everyone is different; including their opinions.

We aren't going to be allowing RMT in any way, shape or form on the non-exchange enabled EQ II servers. Period. End of statement.

Because people don't care about the things you cited (limited grouping, gear is craftable ...) 

A good game means that it is enjoyable. The need to group is not essential to an enjoyable game.

because in a genre filled with crap games ONE game must be less crappy than the others. grats LoTRO you suck just a bit less than the other games out there.

I would have said EQ2 but with all the "OMG SOE = teh Devil!" nitwits on this forum i knew that would never have won.

Well at least LotR:O sucks a little less then EQ2 if I understand you correctly kind Sir.

I see this as one of the things pro-LotRO. Crafting might be not that involved, but LotRO is one of the handful of games where crafting is meaningful outside of just being another timesink :)

Played: UO, DaoC, Horizons, Ryzom, WAR, LotRO, Eve...

according to this poll and those that voted yeah ... however in my opinion EQ2 sucks less than LoTRO and the other MMOs out there right now.

It's like Grindhouse winning a award... go figure. It's not a bad game but by subscribers alone I'd give it to WoW or let me jump on the wagon.. DF!!! for the win.

The award was not for number of subscribers, and darkfall isn't out yet, thus can’t be best game of 2008.

     Im not sure eitehr...i played LoTRO for a little over a month and left out of sheer boredom......My server was pretty much dead and everyone was heading off to play AoC and WAR (MoM had not been released yet).....Then all of a sudden MoM gets released and now people act like its the greatest game of all time??..... Its an OK game but its too much like WoW but with LoTRO lore......The game is too solo friendly and mind numbingly repetitive.......I'm sure in another month or two we will see alot of posts saying the same things that some of us that have played it are saying "was fun for a month", "gets boring if you play alts", etc etc.........If LoTRO is the best game out there right now then this genre is in alot of trouble.

the award wasnt for the most popular it was for the best overall game ... now unless you are saying subcribers = best. If you are saying that may i direct you to pick up a Mcdonalds burger because its the best food (most customers) and before you eat that, put on some Britney spears or N'sync two of the top selling albums so they must be some of the best music ever made.

 

and when your finished with all that throw on Titanic ... the top grossing movie of all time so it also must be the best movie of all time.

And if you actually do all that; you'll probably need to know that the most popular method of suicide is by GSW to the head.
