I found the first 10 levels to be boring as hell too, but after getting to level 10, I immediately started playing the monster play and I was hooked for about a month after deciding it wasn't worth $15 anymore after discovering all of the monster play zone and seeing the same landscapes over and over again. However, Book 12 or w/e book is the latest is supposed to have a whole new monster play zone right? Has the new book already released?

We should all play on the role-playing server and there should be a clan thats based near the desert and they ride nothing but camels, raiding villages...they'll be known as the..."Camel Toes!"

I'm playing the Vet trail right now and it's at least more fun than LOTRO. There is quite a lot of people playing right now, I know some of it is due to the Vet trial going on right now. I was in a group at one time and 3 of us out of 4 were on the Vet trail, but that didn't shock me.

Since they have the flying reindeer mount in game, it makes things ALOT more fun, I couldn't imagine going back to foot traveling in this game, it really demands a flying mount to get to places sometimes.

What I've seen so far is that almost all the people in game hang out in Qualia. So if you've just logged back in game and are looking for a group, go to Qualia.

Haven't tried crafting since I got back, but I can see that either people enjoy it or just want to grind because there seems to be a lot of crafters in game.

Something I found out the hard way is that you can't root BIG things...aka CYCLOPS, .

Let me just add, there is indeed weather affects in game and I can see the storm at a distance. So far I've seen just rain and snow.

Now for the bugs....still the same! I couldn't believe how many bugs were still left in the game after I've been gone for so long. They need to stop working on new dungeons and fix the damn bugs. Example: there is a bug where sometimes you can't see th mob, usually falls underground and you can't hit it but it can hit you. The solution of running to a different area and letting the mob pop up out of the ground all of a sudden works sometimes. Thats about the only annoying bug I've found so far though. All the other bugs are usually visual bugs, for example, I have all my armor on yet visually I have the clothes on when I first created my character.

Although there are many bugs in the game, at the end of the day I can safely say I had fun.

Hope this helped some people, as for me I'm off to the world of Vanguard. (BIG world I might add)

*off topic* I just want to point out that I've had some of the worst lagg in LOTRO than any other MMO including Vanguard on some occasions.
