Yeah LOTRO is a great choice...you might want to get an extra gig of ram. It's pretty cheap now.
LOTRO is great for the PVE non gear-centric crowd. That is why I love it. I hated that with WoW.

I can actually see how some people could potentially be 'bored' with LOTRO, but to me it seems these are the same people who prefer a comic book to a novel. LOTRO seems to be the only online game out there that offers an actual, lenghty, in-depth story that you become a part of, and that's why I (and many others I know) are hooked. It goes deeper than 'quest and craft' gaming and becomes real 'entertainment', like a good book or a movie where you control the action, or at least your part of it, and you just want to see what happens next! Every patch I look forward to how they are going to move the storyline along, but I also look forward with deep excitement to what MY PART in that story is. It's the only game out there that engages me like that, that's what keeps me from getting bored. Sure, if you just focus on 'ome more quest, one more mining node, one more piece of armour' it might get boring, but if you look at the game as the developers want you to, I think it opens up a whole new level and depth to the game.
That is exactly how I feel I love LOTRO. I have always been a sucker for story in a game and this one has it.
It does help to show the server loads though.
Yeah the dressing room is very nice...gonna be buying dyes now :)
