I know there are a lot of WoW players here, but how about LOTRO? Anyone representing that can give some feedback?

I know the base is full of WOW players... but I don't know about LOTR. I'm a fan myself but I haven't played the game.

Hey playoff,

Was just trying it myself and was curious how people thought it compared to other MMOs. At the lower levels, it's got my attention more than WoW did in any case.

Too bad you are on Silverload - was hoping to find some other people on Landroval and a kinship. I'm loving the game so far but missing having a group of people to play with like I had in WoW.

steelangel - There is a free trial for the game. Might want to check it out if you ever get bored. It looks like they really tried to stay true to the original Tolkien lore as much as possible (while still making the game fun).

In my opinion there is no comparison to WOW, WOW is by far a better product than LOTRO. But what WOW doesn't offer is the Tolkien Universe and the arcing story arcs and PVE experience that LOTRO offers. And because of those reasons, thats why im hooked with LOTRO at the moment, but i do still plan on coming back to WOW sometime in the future.

What keeps you going back to WoW? I capped out several characters before the expansion - raided constantly - PvP'ed - got most of the best gear for them - etc... and just got bored with it.

I got the expansion thinking it would add something new and draw me back in - but no dice. I couldn't even play it for a week before uninstalling WoW for the final time.

I loved the game for what is was, it just got old. How do you still enjoy it after so long? Was there something new in the expansion I may have just not given a chance?
