I think it will do decently. Definitely not going to compete with World of Warcraft, but it will beat AC for sure.

Play the game and then call the graphics lame. The game looks nothing like WoW, the mechanics may be similar but the graphics are not. LoTRO is a far deeper game than WoW, it's quests and epic stories outshine WoW's questing by miles. You mate just sound like an ignorant kid. I suggest you go back to your WoW forum and stay there.

LOL are you kidding me??

Go check out the link I have in my bio line and then go tell me to play it again.

No more environment then... allrighty... good regular shots, here we go... Medium settings with environmental effects cranked up...



Bards contest in northern Bree, 50 people, 50 fps, no tweaking, do this with EQ2 *grins*


Oh... sorry , an environment shot... well, you can outdo this one with Guildwars if you like , Or wait, I could try myself, I've got Guildwars but, oh, wait, it doesn't look half as decent... *mumble*


Meridion

EDIT: Again, this is ALL medium settings, texture quality high (NOT ultra high). Its FAR from "all on max"...

1. How many different kinds of moves can you get going to level 50, i want to be a minstril and want to know how many moves they got and do they look good.

2. Is their many instances that give you some really cool looking items.

3. Do you know if guild housing will be in the game sometime at all.

4. Will there be big patches and maybe some expansion packs.

Thx in advance

3. They intend to implent it as soon as possible

4.There will be huge content patches every 1 or 2 months ( the first in june)) and we can be pretty sure that there will be an expansion pack next year

Looking quite good. My only complaint is that much of the architecture isn't much else than set pieces.

How can someone find something negative about epic looking screenshots of a FREE content update.

Me and my kinship had this "problem"( closed door) way back in february.

If this was a bug they already could have fixed it many times.

Because of that I think the devs regard this "bug" as a feature.

Does anyone of you know which - darn, i don't know the english word for this, it's too old I guess - ... clan (?) Legolas is from, he's been there in the first battle of the ring and probably before that in the age of the shadow. Would be nice to know, they say he's the prince of Rhovanion, the Mirkwood, so he would be one of the Laiquendi who Left Ossiriand... is this confirmed.

I find this funny since these Elven people don't at all represent the actual elven high-culture with packed and "armed to the rim"-warriors living in huge white cities or even in halls of stone...

Just a thought,
Meridion

He is a Sindarin from Beleriand.

His father and grandfather (and maybe, if he was already born, Legolas ) moved to Mirkwood in the beginning of the 2nd age. Because of them being from a higher elven culture than the Silvan elves of the forest, they were accepted by them as their "Royal Family".

I also read somewhere that theres going to be addition areas added for monster play at some point,so im guessing it'll be a whole region sized battlefield like ettinmoors.

i'd like to see goblin spear throwers become playable in monster play too.

The one thing i am notdoing with this is burning myself out with it. IT is a game that I don't have to play every second of the day and simply load into it and play then load back out to life. I'm lvl 29 now and really doubt I will hit end game level by the time the content is released.

Hey guys,

 I just found this Dev Chat , that unveils some interesting things about the first content update(s).

http://lotro.stratics.com/content/hoclog/hoc8.php

Some excerpts: 

Sprite - *LBeff* Question: How often are there going to be large updates like the one coming up on June?
LOTRO_Patience - Hey LBeff. :D We don't want to release the schedule, because sometimes things slip and we get angry mobs outside our doors, but we have a Live team who's dedicated to bringing regular content updates. We have some pretty cool things in store already for the next two, which are already in the works. Suffice to say, we'll try to keep the players supplied with content.
LOTRO_Patience - When I say "the players," btw, I don't mean the ones who power their way through the game - nobody can keep up with those guys. :) But for players who play at a more average pace? We'll try to plan for them.

Sprite - *Ulysses* Will there be new cities and instances in the Shores of Evendim?
Scenario_Turbine - Hey Ulysses, Evendim will be a fully functional area complete with three new towns (including the hobbit farming village of Oatbarton). The Shores of Evendim update will also include a handful of new instances, ranging in size from solable encounters all the way up to our first 24-man raid instance.
