Wasn't there a story recently about some Russians killing each other over WoW? Isn't it out over there? Were they just not playing a Russian language version of it?

I knew it...
The USA's final plan for the Cold War.
Bore the Russians to death with LOTRO. The single most boring MMO on the planet...

Go figure!

@nem: Yeah, I suppose if a new MMOG doesn't disappear without trace up against WoW, it's considered a huge success these days.

@Pinguin: There is a reason for that, you know. Some games have gone so far as to entirely ban the Brazilian region for non-licensing issues (See: Pangya for starters)

I haven't played in months, and I think I'm only like level 7, but I may go check back in soon. I don't like all the typical MMO crap, raiding and all that, whatever that means, but I do like striking up random conversations with people.

I had never seen that video before, and I was about to sleep, but I think they took my dreams to Isengard.

Lotro is fairly healthy with regards to players Mire.. :)
Not saying its the same success as WoW is, but overall the servers are thriving. Its hard for me to say how other servers are but from reports from the EU forums, aswell as considering im playing on the smallest EU server its doing nicely. :)

Oh, and the game is actually good. For us that dont like WoW its a nice option.

But...but if they take the Hobbits to Kaliningrad, how will they destroy the Ring? Our fates depend on it!
