]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> They are responding to the close release of AoC I think... If I had a powerful PC, I'd choose LOTRO, I enjoyed the beta, but in 800*600 low settings it was no as enjoyable as WoW ^^;

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> humm... maybe we don't need to wait to the weekend to update the game, because the update is done before the login, so we can update teh game even before we are alowed to play on the weekend.

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> @aeonite: There has been a constant demand from players to have the ability to fish added to the game since long before launch (with turbine promising that it would be added eventually). I'm sure they are aiming at the players who were looking forward to this feature before they left the game.

Also, the new area (Forochel) is absolutely fantastic and definitely worth checking out.

I played it for a while, and liked it a lot, but no one wanted to do anything except run the same 5 dungeons over and over again.

aeonite

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> Hmmm. I haven't played since the Beta days. Would I like to get back into this?

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> What's DDO, if you guys don't mind me asking?

Truvill

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> DDO is a bit of a heartbreaker; it had some really nice elements combined with terrible ones. Sigh.

As for LotRO, I might give it another try if they ever fix MPvP. I see no sign of that, so... eh.

There's something really thrilling about playing a spider, crawling around, or a worg... but that's about the only part of the game that really got me going.

Willbear

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> @Lider: Could it be that it's because no one plays DDO? They only have four servers left..

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> Im on the same boat as Sustenance. Theres nothing new here, though from a design standpoint, the world is truly marvelous.

AplusBminus

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> @Chef: Yeah, Turbine seens to control this stuff quite well. I play DDO and rarely receive these spam messages.

Lider

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> I'm a Mac user and couldn't bring myself to try WoW. I think the LotR world could get me interested in trying an MMO, but, alas, no Mac version.

Back to the consoles for me.

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> @NullsRevenge: On the note of the gold farmer spamming, they've got that amazingly under control, and it's now extremely rare to get a tell from a Level 1 guy about their stupid gold site. The most I've had was about 2 weeks ago where some guy was shouting in some area about it, and that was it.

Lifetime membership is great, and takes a lot of retarded stress out of gaming.

Chef

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> I like LOTRO and I have a Lifetime Membership. But this one gets me:

"Hobby System - Feel like going fishing?"

As if the idea of pretend-fishing is going to entice me back. How about I go real fishing instead if I want to fish?

aeonite

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> If you don't care for MMOs, this one definitely won't change your mind - LOTRO is about as traditional as they come. However, there is less of an emphasis on power-leveling and "raiding for loot", so the worst of the WoW emigrants leave quickly after posting their salty "goodbyes" in the forums. This is a game for people who find the world of an MMO, its scenery and quests and music, more interesting than the armor or weapons their characters equip.

Sustenance

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> @der13manner:

Thanks, and the expansion packs are not at all a problem for me.

Truvill

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> @Truvill: If you pay for the founders account, you'll be able to play from now till the servers close without paying the normal monthly fee.

However, you'll still have to buy expansion packs when they are released.

der13manner

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> I played this game for a while. I just got completely bored with it after lvl 40.

I didn't really like any of the classes that much either.

Before I left alot more people were joining and some of the same kind of jerks from WOW were starting to show up. There were spambots spamming gold and powerleveling sites all the time in Bree.

It is not a bad mmorpg it just wasn't for me.

NullsRevenge

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> NO way, it has only been one year?. My god, what?.

Fyren

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> Well.. the image quality is good, and the gameplay could be fun. The download will be small. Sounds like a good fun, my warg will make a small return ;-D. Hope this new PvPM dungeon has more than ONE ambush point (crossroads).

Tei

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> Can someone explain how founders work for me?

I'm planning to sign up for the lifetime thing, and I want to get the most out of it.

Truvill

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> I can't remember my login for the life of me. It was almost two years ago.

Fyren

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> Plus the Mines of Moria (packages expansion) should be out in the fall.

ghnvt

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> I still subscribe to LOTRO, though sadly I haven't played in quite awhile. The game is very fun and really refines the WoW formula.

MSUSteve

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> Well I am about to pay for founders, but will take advantage of this as well since I haven't started my LOTRO account yet.

This game was a lot of fun when I played it back in beta, and with the constant update along with founders it is a pretty good deal. If you like MMO's that is.

Figcoinc

]]> <![CDATA[Return To LotRO Free This Weekend]]> I tried to get into this game. I just couldn't do it. MMO's are boring to me right now.
