Latest Blog Entry - LotrO - 1 year has passed...
From my blog Solareus's Mind [solareus]
It has been one full year since I've beta tested LotrO , hard to believe how fast time is flying a long.
From the first time I set foot into Lord of the Rings online I was not impressed, the world was linear in many ways and the character felt constricted to a set path laid for them. As the beta went on further and further and patches and updates came in a furious and in a precise response to beta-players feed back, the game truly started to take shape. The beta was by far one of the best relationships I've seen between the testers and a developer.
After the 1st phase of testing was completed I really didn't think I would be back in phase 2, but low and behold, I did decide to give a try after I was invited to Vangaurd beta only to be crushed by the sheer disappointment of that game, so I said "might as well give LotRO part duo a go." Being a semi "in the know" about different developing areas, I don't mind testing games, anyway I loaded up the last phase of CB and to my surprised, the entire control and movement was revamped, it felt like a open world mmo now. It was like night and day between the 2 phases and can honestly say I am glad i gave it it another go. The game just felt brand new, it was amazing.
To the Present day, I am still playing LotrO and still loving the game, I have not even made it through all of the content yet and still trying to level my first character from opening day. I haven't even started on any of the other races or even focused on my deeds book yet. I haven't burned myself out on this game either, you can play it at what ever pace and get a good bit done soloing , and when the time arises you can still find groups.
Just want to say Cheers to anyone else who has made it this far along side me . Lord of the Rings Online is in for the long hall, that is for sure.

- Still Massive Memory leak even after last patch
I'm still having a few hitches and game is locking up agian , but last night I got to play with out any problems and it was a ton of fun. There is a grey area some where with all the things that make a game runs smoooth , it is up to the tests and funcom to make the grey area less apparent.
I hope the update on Saturday will have the better client to let us test level 20 and the pvp... (crosses fingers)

ill pass you the salt to eat your words if its to bland for ya !
TCoS . Great fresh noew game ideas , a new twist on how you build your character as well as the hotbar, which I am very excited to see working. Meaningful PVP and the game world will be unique to anything out, as well as unique characte rmodels , unique mobs ,and a unique lore set.
Think if i didn't already fall in love with the game i am currently paying, TCoS would be my second choice, with Darkfall ,in third .
Age of Immaturity , think thats enough said about that.
War will be niche based but will fair well because of the fan base.
O noes, Solareus is finally wronng on mmorpg.com
Seriously , you actlike im a god , it is nice and all buut I'm just like everyone else, I make mistakes, and man enough to admit them.
I do think TCoS will be a great game non the less

I don't know how but I finally got it running well. The game is pretty awesome, and I am liking it now that it is working. The combat is very impressive , I am running the game lagless in the instances and it is amazing.
There will be some things that are a soar thumb for like the foliage, but for the most part it is buy , and I will be flipping subscriptions back and fourth with LotRO. I wanted to do that with VG but that game just left me feeling blanked.
Think Saturdays pvp event will be my deciding factor on a 100% purchase .
Hope more people are able to get it to work cause it is one heck of an adventure game.
Damn bet you feel stupid now re-reading all your comments in the past 2/3 months naysaying aoc..
