LOTRO
Submitted by Rog on December 23, 2008 - 6:40amI just installed Lord of the Rings Online and I'm going to be playing it for the next while.
Why Lord of the Rings Online?
First, I'm getting burned out on Warhammer. I could go for a bit more and I think it's likely I'll still see level 40, but I cannot see myself existing on PvP alone, the PvE part of WAR was a letdown past Tier 2. So yeah, I want some good meat and potatoes in the PvE dept.
Second, I'm impressed that Turbine has pumped out a signficant expansion in timely fashion and may actually maintain their schedule of one-expansion-per-year. Plus the "book" patches seem to have a good content ratio.
Third, I've heard good things about small team content in LOTRO, including their new foray into 3 man and 3-6 man instances. That's a big woot for me. It'll be a real treat to play through the story without feeling that I have to raid to get the premium bits.
There's a few other reasons, but that's pretty much enough for me to give it a good whirl. =)
I'm poking around on the Landroval server. I'll post my main's name as soon as I decide on which class I'll stick with.
