Welcome rock! I have been playing for more than a year now and I can tell you that things get even better. I started out with a champ, then started a hunter and loved it. Then tried a Captain and quickly found my new main. When Moria launched my hunter was my main and was at level 50. Within 2 months my Captain overtook my hunter and I maxed him out. The burglar class is also crazy fun and it was nice going back through Bree, Lone Lands, etc.. and doing the quests from a different point of view.

The best part of the game to me is the maturity level of most of the players. Also I like the kin I am in. It provides me with a way to get some dedicated useful help when PUGs do not quite work out. As for the crafting, it is good, but you have to really watch the AH to see what trends are there. What I like about crafting is that even stuff at lower levels can still and there is usually a niche for that stuff as well. Sure there are plenty of people who are putting level 60 gear out on the AH, but if you study the AH good enough you might find that levels 30-50 have less purple weapons or armour. People coming up in those levels still need that gear so there is an opportunity right there.

Oh and dont worry, 35 will come soon enough and that horse will be well received.

I think im going to give this game a try, I canceled my EverQuest 2 account 2 weeks ago and im looking for something new.  :)

Whats the most popular server?

well ive been playing for a while now with my hunter and im enjoying it . im in a simalr position my station pass comes up for renewal on the 27th and im undecided wether to go with it for another month or concentrate on lotr .

LOTRO is just so amazing in the beginning zones. Ered Luin, Bree-land and Lone Lands are still my favorite.  Evendim is high ranked, too.

My sub ended right before I headed off to vacation, I'm level 44 Champ now.  Still wondering whether to resub when I get back home or not.  It get's very far-stretched sometimes.  Maybe I just need a break.

Glad you like the game, though. It certainly is an enjoyable one.

Whats the most popular server?    PVP or PVE ?  TY in advance.

Highest population server would be Brandywine. 

As it's really just a PvE game with just a little Pvp thrown in I'm not sure you can call any servers Pvp heavy.

If you're looking for / only want Pvp action LotRO isn't the game to play as you'll be disappointed.  If that's not a biggie for you it's a very good PvE game and well worth a look.
