    Currently play it, I enjoy it, I suggest getting the trial if you wanna test it out. Best part is, if you decide to keep the game, you can payh the $20.00 dollars for the real version which you already downloaded and start playing. The only difference between the 2 is that you cannot trade or spar (I think) in the trial. But you get the full version. I would suggest trying it if you want something different and more realistic then WoW. Many say it takes a bit to get use to the time between pushing a button and it going. Like when I use my hunter it may take 2 or so seconds for my skill to work because I am doing a different skill animation at the moment, or when I use a skill called like Rain arrows where I shoot lots of arrows, I may shoot them 1 second after I push the button but it takes another second before they come falling on all the enemies around me.
    Also to what Sandy said, don't wait, there is still a good 7 months till WAR because of the delay. I have played 2-3 weeks and already level 27 which is over half the levels, but I know it slows down. There is tons of solo content which is fun so you don't always need to party, but partying and doing the quests makes it 4x faster.

    I dont really like the look of warhammer, looks a bit too much like a rip-off of WoW where as LOTRO looks much more original, only the UI looks like WoWs.

    Allso i heard the quests in LoTRO are great fun =D

    Hmm I gotta defend my WAR, the game isn't close to WoW in looks IMO, the cities and everything have different feels and is much darker then WoW has ever been.
    Secondly you can change the UI in LOTRO however you want. My father which has played for a year, has specific ones for each class (has all level 50's). His champion he has a layout which his status bar down next to everything else (down on the bottom) so he can easily see his health. While on a minstrel he has it so all the chars are next to each other so he can easily heal.

    Does this look like WoW?

    Also these are Low specs not high.

    That works I play on Elendilmir if you want to join me, my character is Lothia as always. If you play a char that uses a staff, or bow I can make u a good one up to level 21.

    You know that Warcraft is basically a rip-off of Warhammer (the miniatures game), right?
