Lotro

[Kraw]

why is noone playing it when it just went f2p?

[FluffyKitten]

Becouse.... (i just think.i dont know) Pll who pays,gets more?

[ApocaRUFF]

Aww, this thread got my hopes up =[ I was hoping the release date for Free LOTRO was pushed forward or something.

The F2P is actually pretty fair. It looks like they give you the base game for free with little limitations, but you still gotta buy expansion packs to raise the level cap and explore that content. And if you buy any of the expansions you go premium player instead of F2P.

LOTRO will be similar to Guild Wars now. Buy em and play em for free. Can pay a bit of cash for extra feature.

Almost jumped when I read the first post, thought I was late to play it.

Thank god.

September the 10th is when F2P goes live for those who do not have an existing account.

September the 8th is when those who are subscribers or has an inactive account (not including any type of trial) can join the headstart for F2P.

Check out that page to see what you will get as a Free, premium, or a VIP member.

I am laughing at all the people moving to this 'free' game. They'll be mad when they find out that 'free' doesn't always mean 'free'. They'll have to pay for 'additional' content, which would mean only playing about half a game.

It'd be like playing Guild Wars, just you only have Prophecies; none of the expansions. You're left out on so much of the content, there's really no reason to play.

Majority of the players that are looking forward to the F2P model, are well aware of the content and what they will get with F2P, Premium, and VIP.

Its really easy to obtain more content, and there is a guide on what to get and how to get all the content without paying any cash.

What I enjoy seeing is people like you who think they know something, but in reality are quite ignorant on what is possible.

Everything you did in the beta server will be deleted. Turbine points in your beta account are not usable in the official release.

[chili01]

oh ok thanks. need to find a way to play this in d10 though

[tihi85]

Are there repeatable quests that gives Turbine Points? Making 4 chars just to buy expansion is crazy.

[Jrgsubzero]

Guide or not, it's going to be like DDO; you play for hours upon hours on end to unlock content that will take hours to complete, so you can play for even longer to unlock the additional content needed. Unless you're a perfectionist gamer or you're going to plan on playing this game A LOT, you're going to be spending a whole 'lot of time on this. The 'priority login' feature just screams Silkroad and Knight Online, to me.

It just seems like a time-waster (as far as MMOs can go in being a time-waster). You spend hours working for something, only to need to spend hours more unlocking what comes next.


And yeah, if I was wrong or not, the ignorant comment was uncalled for, and I've taken it upon myself to ignore it like the schoolyard jab that it is. That should end it's further discussion.

Does it matter? If it bothers you just buy it. They're giving you a decent chunk of the game for free. It's nowhere near EQ2s money grab.

And I don't see login queues ever becoming a problem...
