If your a top notch lotr's fan, you will love this game... If your a medicore pvp, mmo player, crafting, This is for you
Pausitive: The best graphics i've seen in any mmo. If you hardcore lord of the rings fan, you will love this game dearly. The game is easy to understand. It dwells in the lord of the rings universe. It lets you go to the locations that it did not show in the movies or talk about in the books. Custimization is awesome. The game sounds great. Good teamwork. Housing... ATTENTION* WORLD OF WARCRAFT @#$%&... *HOUSING*. You can even have a guild house. The gameplay is endless, it would take you months to complete all the quests, discover all the areas, and reach the level cap, (if you play every day for about 8 hours 0_o)
Negatives: Lotro's version of pvp is pvmp. (player vs monster player) It is absolutely terrible pvp. If you play as a monster, ( now its free ) your very weak, your level is maxed out and you fight real players like your a training dummy because it takes like 3-5 monster players to beat one, and theirs a catch to using you toon in pvp, you have to be level 75 (level cap), you have to have a vip membership, WTF, you should beable to do pvp anytime you would like to. So I guess the game main focus is not the pvp. Once you get about level 30 (by level 30, you've had a taste of what this game is like and the monsters) It becomes EXTREMELY HARD TO LEVEL UP O: The only way to complete most of the quests by the time you get level 30, you'll need help with a level 50 if its a level 30 elite quest, because in an elite quests, the monster could have 5000 hp, a level 75 has about 6000 hp, A level 30 has about 1000-1800.... THE QUESTS ARE EXTEMELY HARD, *spoiler* The agamaur quests are a pain in the @#$...
The only reason why I gave this game an 8 because if your a big fan, you'll love the game, and the grapichs, everything else sucks ):...
