@Michaelmop I'm waiting for GW2, as well. I knew once this game F2P, it would eventually become a cash cow. They always do, unfortunately. The new expansion, "Riders of Rohan" was announced, and it does not sound good. They're adding companions to every class to make the game easier and to stop group play, like they've done in the past by nerfing group quests to solo quests. This game is now massively singleplayer. And the store doesn't support the game, it's the other way around.

@SpennyPwns Oh that's a real pity tbh. I ended up not going back to LOTRO. I'm just waiting for GW2 atm. It's really sad to see glorious games ending up being cash cows..

[SpennyPwns]

@Michaelmop I'm a huge LOTR and LOTRO fan, but sadly-- the same thing is happening to LOTRO. It went free to play, and now it's pay to win. Turbine is pushing less content, and the content is lower in terms of quality. The game has changed for the worse since Shadows of Angmar.. I really miss SoA. But I don't think the game can ever get better since Turbine is now partnered with WarnerBros, and it's become a cash cow. Which is really sad, it was the best MMO I've ever played.

Jeffery Steefel. If you created the Dol Guldur Lights in BG, you suck.

[KillerODeath3456]

i played lotro before but quit and im coming back... the server i was on last time was very unpopulated what would be a good one to come back to?

[Michaelmop]

I've gone back to WoW 4 times throughout 3 years now. I can gladly say I'm finally done with it. It's slowly killing itself with every xpac. I played lotro when it came out and stopped 2 times, but that wasn't because the game sucked. I'm gonna play again.. After all. I'm a big motherfucking lotr fan.
