• • From the Desk of the Developers: January Edition

  • I love the fact that the game is still going and from what I read it is improving. Those first weeks of working together to solve those large cooperative quests was alot of fun. I do miss my dragon (left shortly after adulthood) and it's possible I might return one day if things continue to improve. If I wasn't having so much fun in my current game I would come back for a try. Keep up the good work!

• • LOTRO "almost" the perfect game?

    Hi all,

     

    It seems that LOTRO is almost the perfect game.  It has great graphics, great storyline, a nice loot system, and fun crafting.

     

    It seems to me if Turbine just added a class or two, and really did something to ramp up PvP play, then they'd have the perfect MMO.

     

    Sadly, it seems their greatest asset (the LOTRO IP), might also be their greatest restraint and downfall.

    I enjoy the pvp alot and todays book does ramp up the pvp. But it's not traditional pvp as the 'heroes'  are inherently stronger in many ways. But that's ok as I enjoy being the evil monster fighting against things I can't comprehend and it makes you a better player. I actually look at the heroes as less skillful since the rely on many crutches learned during pve to survive. And that contrast between their powerful magics and our better skills keeps me interested.

• • I've been waiting for this for 10 cursed years...

  • Glad the op is happy about this. I don't do the pve but I can understand his excitement. I felt the same when I found a game I could actually play a monster in and I didn't have to spend weeks leveling via quests.  These new looks will be interesting but should cause little confusion in pvp as the players actions pretty well say who they are. But I already enjoy laying dead in a zerg of freeps listening to all the sounds, music, yells and all the pretty armors. Quite a change from the mp side. :)
