    Yup, played it around fall of last year. I finally quit as of last month, late febuary. The game itself is riddled with bugs that the developers have yet to fix. There's very little end game content to do, as well as pvp being totally unbalanced now. Also their updates, or 'books' as they call them, take too long to be released.
    The only reason i stayed so long is because of an amazing guild that i was lucky enough to find. It's fairly sad that most players talk about leaving for either warhammer or AoC, which will still come out before Lotro's next book. And certainly before the mines of moria expansion. As i said it before to my guild, the mines of moria update came 'too little, too late.'

    Yup, that's what made the game financially successful, and that's why the license was renewed for up to ten years: because the game is full of bugs, is unbalnaced in pvp, and has little end game content. That's why I have two subscriptions; and that must be why I see so many high level characters staying and enjoying the game. Boy, I'm sure glad I figured out what makes this game a success: it's a crap game that mezmorizes us Tolkien lovers into giving our money away for a defective experience.

    On a serious note, WoW, Eve online, FF online, Everquest 1&2 (and hopefully the upcoming Conan and Warhammer games) -- they all are great games, and I hope they have continued success. LotR Online definitely isn't for everybody; I can compeltely understand why someone would prefer WoW, or another online gaming experience. But to say it's "riddled with bugs" is just completely inaccurate. I've been playing computer games for the past 20 years, and for the amount of money I've put into LotR online, I'm very satisfied with the game, polish, and stability I've received in return.

    Let's stop the hyperbole and ridiculing other games with extreme statements. I'm happy for the success of WoW -- think about how many of its 10 million subcribers will be playing other MMO's (and other computer games) someday.

    Seriously, LOTRO has had the smoothest launch and most compelling gameplay that I have ever experienced. I started in EQ:Evolution and could never find a game that would hold my attention for more than 6 months. I've been playing LOTRO almost everyday since Nov 2006 (Beta 2) and have experienced very few bugs. Being a beta mindset for many games, I still report bugs. I've reported 17 based on my log. All were small things like floating resources, missing lightsource and one case of NPC in designer pose. This game had it's first rollback on a single server in mid-may (Brandywine). A whole year without a rollback! That has to be some sort of record!
