Lord of the Rings Online

If WAR seems to be solid after say 6 months or so, I might give it a shot.

Glad I didn't buy AoC, seemed like it would be great, and it has turned out to be crap.

Got burned on PotBS, looked good, bought it, played for a month.....then most everyone else left. Servers merged....ugh.

Until there is a quality game released, I'll stick with LotRO.If I get burned out, I'll play a f2p until I get that itch again. Only game since SWG years ago (hard to believe NGE was almost 3 years ago) that has me coming back. It's got that  kinda "world sim" feel that made SWG a winner. Still could use some improvements (get rid of housing hooks, more PvMP areas, would be great in later expansions to see siege engines usable by players), but all in all is the best thing out there for me.Plus, you don't NEED to raid the same couple dungeons over and over to get good gear.

You can do very well with all crafted gear if you have to. Add a few raid type/epic quest pieces (Elronds cloak from bk 12, weapon from 13, ect.) and you'll be doing great.

Yeah for my main PvP source of fun i do play FPS games, those are lil better in terms of blowing up stuff and/or other players as well, and well actually games w/o pvp are games or you think online gaming has been around since the begining of the world. 
 

Please do think a lil bit what you write down, your wasting some server hard drive capacity with junk like that.

P.s.: pssst...pssst, ther's people who doesn't like to pvp at all, nor to play online and they are still gamers and do play games.

Hello Kitty ---> that way

LotRO was great but not having the OPTION of pvp factional or otherwise really bumps it down a few notches on my belt and many other peoples as well.  Now before you go flamin all upset and the like realize that there are a whoooooooole lotta people out there that like to pvp in their mmo's.  If LotRO had a pvp server I might have given it more of a shot.  No big deal just a couple bucks they wont get from me and others like me.

I really don't see how a pvp server would work with LOTRO.  I mean, unlike most other games, there is only one faction, unless you want to implement monster play throughout the entire gameworld.  But then you would have to implement a leveling system for the monsters, unless you want a whole slew of level 50 creeps running through the shire ganking newbies. 

And I do realize that people like PVP in their mmo's, don't get me wrong.  Yet, on the other hand, for most MMO's, you have to go through PVE to even experience the most out of PVP.  Hence, most people would undoubtably agree that PVE is the defacto first thing that usually goes with an MMO, not PVP.
