I have not played WOW so can not compare the gameplay to that. I did play Ultima Online. I find this online game extremely easy to play. It is very easy to interact with other players, form groups for a common goal. I also enjoy the fact that you do not lose your items when killed, it just get very expensive to repair. I also enjoy the fact that there are no PVP, only Player vs Player controlled monster (PVMP). The designers kept very close to the Tolken world. From what I gather from players that played WOW, the interface is basically the same, and so is the gameplay. There is a lot to do and you will never be bored. I believe there is something for everybody.
The only drawback is that you need a fairly new computer with a decent display card to be able to enjoy the full graphics experience, which is excellent.

Pretty Good

The game is pretty good. Not really new and amazing, but it seems to be keeping me engaged, w/c is tough for MMORPG's.

If you like the LOTR franchise, then you will probably like this game. The missions keep you active and engaged in elements of the story.

The creaters of LOTR Online did a fantastic job. The game is jam packed with quest, hack and slash ability and many lands to explore. The flow of the game is easy and fun. Also the story lines are close to the book/movie if not dead on.

LOTRO FTW

I will have to say I was one of those saying "LOTRO... how could they make a game from a book about walking??" After having played nightly since its commercial release I have come to the conclusion that this game is the end all of MMORPGs. It truly is the One Game to Rule Them All.

I was amazed at how good this game actually is!

Being and avid player of MMO games since Everquest came out I have tried alot of online MMO games. I really loved Everquest, but when this game came out, I retired and started full time on this game. The graphics and the world layout are both amazing. I like the fact that quests actually give you upgrades on your gear instead of useless items you bag or discard. The attention to detail is sureal, the skys are filled with everything from moving clouds to a flock of birds taking flight. The water reflects its surroundings and looks real. The only drawback I have to this game is the inability of questing with your friends if they are somewhat behind or ahead of you on the quests. But I believe they have fixed alot of those problems. I havent done hardly any of the PVP things in the game but the people who do seem to like it from what I heard. I give this game a 5.0 out of 5.0

Dont waste your money on this...

...Unless you like endless hours of grinding for crafting materials and gold to pay the insane costs of everything. Or like being constantly under attack just traveling from point A to point B. Or like Boss fights where you're always fighting hordes of adds. Or like to be endlessly stunned, disarmed, crippled, snared, poisoned, bled, diseased or otherwise impeded whenever you fight anything. Did I mention the quests that have you running all over Eriador taking hours to do just for a few experience points and crappy rewards?

Getting to level 50 is long and frustrating because in order to level reasonably fast you need to do the quests and most of the quests require a 6 person group to do, and it's difficult to get such a group together. Leveling up solo is your only other option and that takes a tremendously long time to do.

So... If you like being frustrated and bored then this game is for YOU!

Cool Game

This game really makes your feel like your inte the lotr world. I do find it hard to get groups everynow and then.

But overall great mmorpg as long as you dont care for pvp.

I've played all of the major MMORPG's out there. This is one of the best. You need to play the game to around lvl 30 to get a full appreciation for what it offers. Top shelf stuff.

Storytelling, visual, and musical arts find new synthesis in Lord of the Rings Online to open vistas once reserved to glimpses for the most imaginative readers of Professor Tolkien's masterpiece... and they persist from one session to the next as the player develops his or her character within Middle Earth, making friends in a fantastical world.

The drawbacks I have read mentioned in other reviews are variable, depending most on your equipment and Internet connection, but I'll tell you that though my daughter (several states away) is limited to an older computer over a dialup connection, she nevertheless is having as much fun as I am with my gaming rig and broadband.

Here is something to consider: You can adventure in this amazing virtual environment taking part in fantastic adventures with your own family and friends, safely and inexpensively.

If you already have a computer and an Internet connection, then for just a little more than the price of a recent release DvD to get started, and then the same money per month in subscription fees that you would spend on a tub or two of popcorn at the movie house you can get as many or as few hours of entertainment as you wish to spend on it.

And it can give you time interacting with your grownup kids you never otherwise would have found.

Great Game

A very good MMORPG, I've been playing only WoW has an online game so I decide to make a change, so if you're tired of playing WoW this is your second choice on the market cause the graphics are great and the gameplay is very simple to learn.
