Well the game proper has arrived and hopefully i might be able to get it to install eventually Who else from on here is getting it?

[escobert]

It was a WoW clone to me and I wasn't a big WoW fan. I'll stick with Guild Wars.

I've yet to play it, I might get a trial though. I hope it's not a WoW clone, WoW's so overrated. So, Bert, I, for one, feel you.

[Markus. D]

Overrated is just an understatement.

I have been playing this for a week or so now and I have to say its an enjoyable game.
Level ramp is fairly gently inclined and it's got a nice combat and crafting system.
I have a friend code for a 7 day trial if any one wants to download the client and give it a go.

never played WoW (yes there are some people who havent) so cannot compare but am loving LOTRO.

[Laddy]

I'm going to get it real soon.

Could somebody give me a brief summary to the classes?

[bipper]

I hope it is not another potion spamming, grind/gold farm game like all of codemasters other works

[blim]

classes are Burglar, Captain, Champion, Guardian, Hunter, Lore master and minstrel. Champ and Guard are the strongest physically, Burglars have stealth but are weak when cornered , Captains are support classes but can fight well. Champions are your fast attacking types, Guardian is your tank, Hunter is basically a ranger, so traps, natural cures and decent attack (my choice). Lore masters kind of similar to white mage but bit more offensive (no i dontmean they swear a lot) and minstrel is weak offensively but good support.

Thank you massively, and what do races specialize in? (Planning my character, get the pun?)

[Rostum]

That's not a pun. >.>;

Anyways, I played a Dwarf Gaurdian, he was awesome.

There is very much a free structure with this regard. Try reading the LOTRO Wiki for more, basically Humans can do any class and each other race has 2 missed off their profession.

The exception is Captain which only humans can do. I am a captain it's a cool class, kinda like a red mage or bard.

GF_Diablos, are you on the UK servers? (noticed a post by you on their forum so assuming so) If so which one? Could get a kinship of FF-fans (or EOFFers if there are enough) together.

I know, right? I really can't stand all that stuff in Micro Machines.
