Has anyone had the chance to play this wonderful MMORPG? I got the trial and simply thought it was amazing.
 
I played it about to level ~24ish on a Hunter. While I absolutely loved old-school EQ2, and given that LotRO is undeniably its spiritual successor, I just couldn't find myself getting into the game for various reasons.

All the DPS in your group is really focused into Hunters which was what really bugged me the most, and the other classes virtually had to group to get much of anything done with any haste whatsoever. I played a Champion to about 20 and, while I understood they were designed for AoE, couldn't really do much with it while my Hunter chain-pulled like a madman with subpar gear.
 
I enjoyed the game, just not enough to keep paying for it. There are just too many other games I would rather be playing, or paying for. I really enjoyed the bonuses for killing certain things and getting a resistance to them or extra damage done to that type. The only thing I didn't like honestly was the pace and the fact that it was LOTR. Just not a huge fan.
 
see im a hug LOTR fan hence the name, and that was the first plus in the game thee rest was being able to walk through the land of my beloved series <3 i played a warden through 20 and my trial ran out :[

it is a GREAT game. what server did you play on? im on brandywine. if you still wanna play it, buy gametime cards at a local store (gamestop, target, walmart, etc) they are bout 20 bucks or so for 2-3 months, so you dint have to worry about credit card hassles.

not true now that it has 2 new expasnions, DPS isnt just one class anymore. I have a Lvl 50 LM with good DPS on my weapon, and i can solo just about any quest (given that i dont have to kill someone with 23k health or more) Grouping just makes you stronger. ^^


If you like EQ, you should give Vanguard a try :)

is vanguard free?
