I played it during the trial/beta, and I couldn't really think of it as anything more than a downgrade from WoW.

I only leveled up about twice, and I was just insanely bored with the game, no matter how much I tried to enjoy it.

If you're REALLY looking desperately for something to play until Warhammer, I'd recommend FFXI, as much as I hate to say it. The community in the game is strong, the people are great, and there's plenty to do. It might feel a bit dated, but if you can get into it, it's a really rewarding and fun experience.

What did you expect?
Besides, they are both pretty standard mmorpgs. That is, neither of them are revolutionary. One is just very popular and older.

Well, it was the "Open Beta" shit that was held like a week before the game was released. So, I think it's safe to say that much didn't change.

On the other hand, I've played every MMORPG out there, being an old RO addict, and the ones that have always stood out the most to me were FFXI, because of the control scheme (PS2 controller to play the game), and WoW, because of the overall fast pace, along with the controls.

Yeah but the game is still new. Either way, I don't really care. I just like to feel loved <3. I have FFXI btw (XBOX 360).

Play the game yourself, and then you base your opinions and I'll shut up.

When you hear this from MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND GAMING SITES I would think that it is a safe bet to assume those things. I'm just trying to help by giving a general census of the thoughts about LOTRO.
