I think 2.4 will be on the PTR for at least another 4-6 weeks. I am sure they have a lot of changes to balancing as well as fixing some of the bugs. I think the way the area is growing based on dailies is a great idea.

While I hate the lag and everyone crammed around the Badge vendors, this patch is a major step forward in making players feel that they can influence the game.

I play a Holy Priest and I've given up on getting upset with class balance issues. I couldn't use Mana burn in arenas before, so it didn't bother me.

The Apes would be over powered.

The Humans can't even talk, unless you are a timetraveling astronaut, or a mutant.

This is one of the most one sided possibilities I could think of.

LOTRO is close to being a perfect game that has classes and levels, without real PvP.

I am not making fun of LOTRO, but I'm pointing out some of the things it lacks.

I agree with your point about the IP limiting it. The music system is fun, and the Shire is one of the best starting areas I've been to in an MMO.

Turbine should apply what it has with LOTRO and come out with AC3!

When I logged in this morning, there weren't any level 1s. People just hang out by the quest givers.

People will be doing dailies after this goes live. All the level 70s will be crammed in the quest area getting quests and turning them in. I know that after a while the area will expand, but  I can't imagine how it will be at release.

I  think there will be at least a hundred people hanging out at the dock/quest givers at release. People will be hanging out at the vendors waiting for groups to fill up, etc.

This is a good concept, but bad in practice. I know that this is to be expected in testing, but the first phase will only be tested once per test server, unless they do a rollback.

I was one of the lucky ones to get my transfer in over the weekend to the PTRs.

The new area is so crammed with people in one little quest area it is horrible with lag.

The mob density on Sunwell Isle is the most in the game.

I think they better make changes or I will skip the first week of doing quests for Sunwell Isle. I'll just do the instances, and hopefully get summoned by a Warlock.

Most of the time I will just vendor greens and disenchant blues. I won't bother putting items on the AH if they are level 60-70. Patterns and raw materials are the real money makers.

Like other posters have said, there are plenty of items, but most are boe or wouldn't sell.

Are you on NA or EU servers?

I might be interested depending on the location, faction and server type.

I've had the most fun when I have leveled with friends. It does always end up with one guy zooming past everyone else and complaining that people are too slow, and one guy that goes slower and complains people are going too fast. This happens to me, even when I play with people I work with and see every day.

I think that LOTRO has great potential. With each content update they are making a better game.

In a year LOTRO will be a much better game and some of the negatives will be addressed.

LOTRO has a nice community. CoH isn't too bad.

I think as far as trends go, most communities will be filled full of horrible/mean players. Then again most online games are the same way. I can't stand xbox live.

I think this sums it up. Simplicity over complexity.

I play WoW, but I would prefer a complex game. I wanted Darkfall to be released, but now I'm waiting for a game that gives me the option to do what I want to do, when I want to. MMOs should be about freedom, not conformity.

Also Mythos. You might even like DDO.

I think LOTRO is adding more raids, but I've been away from that MMO for about 6 months.

24+ people raids are here to stay.

Fishing and Cooking are very important skills. They go together and every character should max out both.

Both are decent money makers. Since I play a healer, fishing and cooking are required. Most  guilds require you to have the food buffs during raids and I'm too cheap to buy them.

I think the time has come for Blizzard to bring back 15 man instances. I missed the old transition from 5 mans up to the 10 man level 60 instances to the 15 mans.

I'm sick of the jump from 5 mans to 10 man then again to 25 mans. We should have a 15 man instance that fits around the Kara/ZA level. This would allow people an easier transition to the 25 mans.

I think you can rule out another fantasy Orcs/Evil/Dwarf MMO, because Blizzard has already done that with WoW.

I don't think they'd repeat themselves, but go in a different direction. While I would love a Diablo based MMO, I am afraid Diablo is a dead IP.

I feel the only options are a Starcraft MMO or a new IP. They won't do the Lost Vikings MMO.

I just don't feel like Starcraft could easily be made into an MMO given Blizzards weakness of class balancing.

Imagine balancing classes/factions in a Starcraft MMO.

I think Zachary Quinto is a great choice for Spock, but that the whole plot is going to be a big failure where Trekkies are concerned.

I've read that the whole story goes against known facts from the series. This is one movie that I won't even rent.

At least has big MMO experience. Although Vanguard wasn't a stellar success, it still is a big time MMO.

This is good news, but I my interest in this MMO has wanted over the past year. I'll have to hear reviews from people that played it before I think of buying it and I am a huge Stargate fan.

Apes

Humans

Mutated Humans

The mutated humans hate both sides. Easy three factions.

Blizzard and Turbine both segregate North American and European players. I hate to say, but this seems to be a trend.

I love the Beatles and I love Led Zepplin.

Listen to the White Album if you think the Beatles were only "Love me do".

I hope that they don't start changing WAR to make it more like every other MMO out there.

I was happy to see that they weren't going to have stealth in the game, but if this is true I'll be a little upset.

I won't judge WAR until I play it. I have made my mind up to buy it and play it for the first month just to see if it is going to be as good as it appears to be.

Stealth isn't a gamebreaker for me.
