....for the videos iv seen this game looks pretty decent......and its only been out for a yaer and it has 300k + subs....which is great for a new mmo....

LOTRO makes the WoW fanatics very nervous and they feel the need to lash out.

No, actually the MMO world is just getting started. They just need to learn to embrace some new ideas and we need to learn to stay away from some of the low budget garbage.

MMOWTF Reader Pick: Lord of the Rings Online

LotRO won a closely fought battle with DDO for this dishonor. Turbine played it safe and released a stable cookie-cutter MMO this year. I guess they figured taking an IP based on massive wars and battles and turning it into a one-sided PvE storybook would be the best use of the franchise...The answer is no. I hope some hobbits steal the Devs paycheck pie next year for this."

MMORPG

Weird....

 

Yeah I read that too, but consider the source. He only appears to know about a few movies. Oh well,  books DO have big words and such

   Yep, not a real big surprise. Great job Turbine in making LOTRO such a great game!

Only in certain areas

No

Is there a good amount of PvP or mostly PvE?

This is not a PvP based game. The PvP is controlled through keeping it to a region and then through the use of it's unique monster play system

An opinion based on one starter area........... how informative.

Well, having never played SWG pre-NGE I guess I escaped the plague of brain worms causing all this wrath. It's not a bad game right now *shrug* I don't really care what happened before I tried it and I certainly don't endorse all this forum drama over something happen..... two years ago? Build a bridge little monkeys and get over it.

As for the article, it had some humorous parts and some parts that definately reflected the ignorance of the author.
