Admiral we have no ships in sector 4! "its a trap!"

- It attracted me becouse its Lotr, i loved the movies and like fantasy and story so i gave it a go.
- I am playing it becouse i like it.
- I like the game of a few factors

1. Very mature community
2. Dungeuns (not raids) are one of the best most polished ive seen in mmo's up to date and actuly fun to figer out all the stuff in how to complete every dungeon.
3. Housing, now this may not be important to others but i realy love decorating and collecting stuff, we have a kinship meeting almost every sunday and its always tons of fun to be together in the kinship house we make music drink and eat and have lots of fun.
4. The world, exploring the GFX in this game are so wel done its just a pleasent to walk around in middle earth .
5. story its good writen and unlike other mmo's you are more sucked intro it and more careing about the world and people you meet...yes even npc's

Games Playing: Lord of the Rings Online, Warhammer Online (Beta).
Games Played: World of Warcraft, Starwars Galaxies.
Games Tried: Everquest 2, Guild Wars, Vanguard, Age of Conan.

Pretty much sums it up for me as well, but I would like to add the incredible attention to detail.  Sometimes it's the small things that make you go "wow cool"!

1, The amount of content the game provides, graphics and the loot you find not to mention craft for your character is pretty good. The community is really good.

2. I'm playing it because I'm tired of playing F2P mmos that  provide minimal content, the game is really fun and plus I always been a fan of the movies.

3. Attraction: Because its Lotro, one of the greatest licences of all time, it only costs me $9.99 a month to play,again the content is so much more than most mmos I have played and the fact that Lotro will keep on expanding content.

What do u like about LOTRO?

The pace of advancement. The questing system. The toon development. The community. Turbine. The look and feel. The classes. The events (though there need to be more GM run events!!!) and PVPMP.

Why are u playin it?

It is fun, at least imho. Turbine is doing quite a few things very, very right.

What attracted u abou this game?

The history(lotr) and a reccommendation of a trusted friend.

"My soul finds rest in God alone: My salvation comes from Him."

- Psalms 62:1

  • What do u like about LOTRO?

Sheer number of Quests, community, fun casual-friendly pace, and it doesn't ever seem to feel repetitive.

  • Why are u playin it?

Same as above.. Though mostly because of the GREAT community, the server I am on I see people everywhere(definently not underpopulated) and have not met one "bad" person.

  • What attracted u abou this game?

Lore, I have read all the books(including the Hobbit) and watched all the movies(looking forward to the new movie about The Hobbit :)). Also the casual friendly pace, as I have a full-time job wife and kid to care of so I am not able to spend more than 4 hours a day on the game.

The fact that most of the player base knows that "you" is a three letter word...

Fanboi is not a word, it is just bad grammar.

"The fact that most of the player base knows that "you" is a three letter word..."

That made me laugh out loud.

 

I play the game first and foremost because I am a huge fan of the BOOKS.

I also enjoy the fact that when I am logged into the game I am not inundated with moronic "n00b" wars...you all know what I mean.

Also, I enjoy the casual pace of the game. I can log in for an hour or several hours and I never feel rushed or feel like I am falling behind in some BS race to level cap.

The game looks amazing as well, although I still have not seen any weather effects, for some reason that has been bothering me for the past few weeks, but no bother.

All in all the game is very well done. That's why I play.
