I still play , most times in junks of 3-4 months ..then i grow fat up with killing orcs again and look for something new to test ^^

Moria is realy worth a tour :D.

Atm cheking Aion and having a blast..makes the Chars in Lotro look even worse when you come back.

But i will be back, Lotro feels like an open living world where Aion feels more linear thempark in low lvls but

i have good fun with it, its sometimes is more relaxing to just go down a fun route then to get lost in

Virtue, Radiance gear, faction, crafting or Legendary item grind..

I'm a lifer and still playing...though I just went with the Lifetime Subscription a couple months ago ;)

Yup. Still here. A lifer from Day One. Sure, one needs a break from the game from time to time, just to try other stuff, but I always find myself coming back to LOTRO. No matter how new, cool and flashy a game tries to be, however much they try to lure me over with their colorful candystores and themeparks, nothing can really beat a good put-together gameworld with excellent lore and a great community. Oh yeah, and the music in LOTRO is seriously great :-)

Yep. Lifer from pre-order here. I've only stopped playing once and that only lasted a little under a year. The rest of my time has been with LoTRO. Unfortunately, I'm starting to once again feel like taking a break. At least until radiance becomes easier to obtain. The only radiance piece my main has is the chest, which dropped from the Turtle. Other than that instance, I don't have the time to really grind for the rest of the pieces....with having a job, family and band and pretty much being only able to play during hours with not many people on. Yep. Again....glad I'm a lifer.

But I'm optimistic with SoM. :)

I have a life time account, I play everyday

Two lifetimes here. I don't play as much as I used to, but I am working evenings now and days are spent with the kids. But My wife still plays her account every night, and we've been around since early closed beta.

yah for life time subscriptions

I have two, and I am thinking of converting a third, if they offer the $199 again. I've been playing since closed beta, and play fairly often/

I'm still playing with my lifetime account.  Still one of the most solid PvE games out there IMO.  More than worth the $199 fee I paid.

I paid for two lifetime subs at launch.  We've gotten more than our moneys worth, but I don't log in much anymore, maybe 1 evening a week.  There's nothing for me to do.  My play style isn't compatible with grinding intances, rep, rad gear until my eyes bleed...so I go play other games.

Not real happy with Turbine and the direction they've taken the game.  Each patch/book the game added more an more features that make it close to a WOW clone...with no expansion in sight.

Oh well, with a lifetime sub I can quit for a year and come back anytime I want.  Anxiously awaiting TOR.

That's the nature of the game that sold too many lifetime subscribtions and have not that much regular subscribers. It went FAR AWAY from the original vision and now became a game nothing alike with the game at release. Devs struggle to get new subscribers and they don't care if they pull off lifetimers, because well.. of obvious reason.

same situation.... look confident the Turbine change direction...I hope that soon may return to being an interesting game that stands out from all boring grinding game.

(not really think we can see that they have destroyed one of the best games ever, blinded by the desire to clone wow)

I was a lifetime membership subscriber until i went on today and it says i am not

because i haven't payed it ..... and i have the reciept to prove it or did my $199

dissapear out of thin air?>

been playing since launch on my lifetime sub, 30 months now for my 200 bucks, well 240 since I bought Moria and Mirkwood, still quite the bargain though. Considering Asherons Call just had it's 10th anniversary I think I still have many more years of gaming pleasure to look forward to.

With the new spawning tech coming with Mirkwood I cant see the game gettting anything but better and better

I like the idea of randomized spawns. It will be interesting to see how well it works.

oh I am willing to bet it will be buggy as hell for a month or two, but Turbine always seems to manage to get things straight within a month or so of going live with new tech. At least they are always pushing the envelope
