Downloading the Beta Client right now....goin kinda slow(roomys dling shit to ) Anybody here try it yet? Its a free mmo so im already got that gut feeling that this is a waste of time since they ALL suck but I hear good things about this one....
I've been playing around with it a little bit (I needed something to play since I had to temporarily suspend my Lord of the Rings Online account :().
Aside of the bugs (since it is beta, after all) the game is very good. I haven't gotten very far yet due to Christmas stuff, but what I have experienced has been excellent. I love the quests and armor details, and the crafting is very reminiscent of Lord of the Rings Online. There are six classes to choose from, with two more being added some time in the future. The best part is that you can dual-class, giving you a bit more customization for your character.
The only problem I have so far is that the Knight class seems to be broken; a Knight can spend forever building up hate toward a monster just to have it all taken away the first time a Mage or Scout hits said monster; the monster will then target the character that did the most damage, requiring the Knight to chase it down and rebuild hatred. It's annoying, but it's kept me from grouping too much; Knights are fine for solo anyway.
I know just as well as you do that this game will eventually turn into a grindfest, since that's basically what MMOs do. I do have higher hopes for this one though, since it's a German game and not a typical Korean MMORPG.
Anyway, I play on the US English region on the Artemis server (usually channel 2).
Ugh.....why cant a game come out better then WoW!!!!!!!!! lol im so sick of wow stupid blizzard and there awesome games
Wow is truly an amazing game and WOTLK pretty much improved the only thing about wow worth truly complaining about, the boring quests. The WOTLK quests were sooo much fun. That game is a masterpiece imo.

This looks interesting, I'll give it a go. BTW, how's LOTR online? I'm kinda a Toklien fan, and I'm kinda starting to love MMORPG's, so I'm kinda interested.

I keep hearing about how amazing LK is......I did all the raids in Pre BC at 60 and all the BC raids, so id have to be a raider again in LK....but im far behind now since i havent even got the expac lol
Yeah, spent more than 7 hours downloading this game, then another 2 patching it, and noticed my computer doesn't quite meet minimum reqs. That really sucked. I really need a new computer. Really a shame, because this game does look amazing to me, especially some of the nifty features.

Lord of the Rings Online is a decent game, and definitely a nice change from World of Warcraft (not that I've ever played World of Warcraft; I'm just sick of hearing about it). It's a pretty storyline-driven game, so if you're a fan of the lore (or if you just like those type of games), then you'll probably enjoy playing it.
I enjoyed a lot of things about the game, but probably one of my favorite things was visiting places like Bree and Rivendell for the first time. You can go inside the Prancing Pony and meet Strider/Aragorn, or go hang out with the Hobbits in the Shire or Staddle.
I also enjoyed the way PvP is handled. When your character reaches a certain level, you'll be able to unlock something called Monster Play, which will allow you to take part in PvMP (Player vs. Monster Player). You can then create an enemy character, like an Uruk-hai or Warg, and play in the Ettenmoors, which is basically a free-for-all PvP area.
The only complaint I have is that the community is pretty quiet. Most people seem to just do their own thing, but they'll generally give you a hand if you ask for it.

Yeah. WotLK was definitely amazing. They improved upon the game in every way. The quests weren't boring anymore and at least 2 chains in each zone ended with an in-game scripted event involving the Lich King. One even ended in an in-game cinematic that was epic beyond belief. The story is VERY evident in WotLK and there's a lot of lore that they added. It's great.
The only reason I quit was just because every couple months I get burnt out of WoW and need something else to do.
I never raided pre-BC even though I've been playing since the first stress test. I just couldn't concentrate on one char long enough to get it to 60.
In BC I cleared through 2/6 Sunwell.
I only raided a little bit in LK so far because I pretty much hit 80, played for a week or two, and then quit.
Oh, and concerning Runes of Magic:
It's a pretty great game for a free game. It's VERY reminiscent of WoW, but with it's own little twists. I just re-downloaded it today. If anyone wants to tell me their char name and server they play on, maybe we can play?
Anywho, I got a decent new computer recently, so I DLed it again and gave it a whirl. I run it at max settings with no lag (internet-based or otherwise). The graphics are stunning for it being free to play, and the playability is nice. Good character models, textures, skills, items, and so on. The quests are somewhat interesting.
The translation from Russian to English is flawless (although they haven't finished everything yet- like the farthest towns and quests), some skills and actions still lack sounds, occasionally there's a quest bug (I've heard, though I haven't encountered any yet), and the crafting/harvesting system still needs some fixing, but that's about as far as the problems go.
The characters are fairly well balanced with many possibilities for different kinds of builds (you have your primary class and your secondary one you set at level 10). Founding a guild looks interesting and fun- you have the ability to get a guild castle, banner, etc. without paying. You also get to have a house, extra storage, furniture, and so on without paying RL cash. There are, of course, extra things that require RL cash (which you exchange for "diamonds"), like expanding your house, buying a mount, etc. All character abilities and so forth, however, are free for everyone.
Additionally, at level one you get a 24-hour mount, at level 20 you get another, at 30 you get another, and so on. While it's not a permanent mount (which you must buy), it's a nice gift on their part- if they were just giving you it to encourage you to buy it they would only have to give you it once.
The skills all look great (I've only used the mage ones- if anyone here know's me, they know I love casters). I haven't been dissapointed (spell check) yet.
