Well, after reading some very... Quirky reviews, I had to try it out for myself.
It took a few days of trying out classes which lead to completely no progression, and then I just went with a Captain.
I've played WoW, CA, Warhammer Online, and I have to say LOTRO is one of the better games I've played.
I'm not going to list pros and cons, 'cause it really seems like no one gives a ####. Which is fine, because there really isn't a reason to. Why fix something that isn't broken. Moving on, the community tops any other game hands down. I have no idea how that happened, but I'm glad. I fit in with WoW's community quicker, but the trolls and boderline ######s made playing the game more of a struggle than a fun past time.
None the less, I'm sure this game wont be such a damn waste of time, like the rest of them.
Atleast I hope not, I don't really want to go get SWTOR.
