I got several friends to join me in Lotro, but they all had the same complaint.  The Download for the Client is over 7GB.  Now for some (like yours truly)  that's only about an hour/hour and a half.  One of my friends took 22 hours lol.  With clients getting so big now days, all MMOs that you download should have a client much like Wizard101, GW or WoW trial where you can download the basic files, then download the rest as you come upon them, or while you play.

I would agree with this one.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that AoC had it.  

 

Maybe I am impatient but I started downloading LoM once and it was going to take hours and hours so I let it go overnight. . the next day I didn't feel like trying it for whatever reason. . it sat on my hard drive for a few weeks and then I deleted it.

 

Not that everyone is impatient but you do miss out on a section of the population for sure. . and as a free to play game . . you want those people who are impulsive. :P
