I love the idea of RMT. It will be legal and controlled. You might be able to make a bit off buck with your hobby. How is that not cool?

No chance of that happening. The game has been taken over from Codemasters some time ago. You would have to start over again.

I am not sure how the game is nowadays, but last time I tried it was unplayably laggy. Even their website takes ages to load.

Shame really, as it was a lot of fun to play.

Cool video.

Games on average are very much the same. It is not LOTRO's fault if you are upset about those things. Take a break if you feel that the mmo grind gets to you. No matter what, there will always be a level of grind, due to the genre.

As for LOTRO itself, most people play it for the community, the helpful, friendly people. And the intriguing story it tells you.

I do not see a reason to start hating on a game just because it does not give you the fun it used to. It is natural to get tired, bored with things.

While I can see the point in the Legendary version for F2P players, for most of us VIPs, it's not that sweet of a deal. I'll see about pre-ordering once we learn a bit more.

It is nice to see that they actually try to make the game fun. Many hours we have waited because of cooldowns. What is the point of that?

Now if they would only take the same approach towards the rest of the game mechanics, we would be sitting on gold.

Interesting. Thanks for the links, Tuche!

I doubt resetting your appearance will ever be an in-game option.

My very first MMO, still have fond memories. I hope it will come back one way or another.

I see a bright future for LotRO. Keep going strong!

It was about time, I like where

lotro is going.

Anarchy Online would deffiniately be on my list as well.

Good read, glad you still enjoy LotRO. And happy to hear praises of our community. Hope to see more soon.

More pew pew, less QQ.

Awesome! :)

The more I read about EVE, the more it seems suitable for my taste. I will have to try it soon.

I do not care much about the actual system, all of them can be learned.

What matters for me is the customization behind the system. I love to spend my points, traits, perks, you name it. As long as you can have different builds for the same classes, combat is sure to be fun.

Lineage 2 was really fun in that aspect.

Also RF Online and Anarchy Online for me.

I prefer mostly player skill. Nowadays I see games who cater to everyone and do not require much from the player. I like a challenge in my games and enjoy the learning aspect as well. It is fun to always look for new ways to better yourself and the character you play.

In your Oblivion example, your friend does not get the lock picking. Well I say if he wanted to be a thief, he would have to learn it, and I am sure he could he choose not to because he can opt for auto-pick.

But I suppose it is the way games go because they want more revenue and easier access for more people. An interesting topic none the less.

How about we stop trying to blame one company or the other and just be glad that the game will go on as planned?
