Patch tomorrow (notes inside)

But yeah I suppose it IS the best out there - mostly because of lack of competition.

[...] LOTRO had a tiny budget.

Careful with this, imo.

Lando was a regular from our FPS days and he bailed on WoW at around level 25.
Took too much time together with his young kids, job and family.
He's currently enjoying LOTRO and he's very very adamant it fits his social situation much more then WoW.

What goes against LOTRO I suppose is that it isn't an established brand on the PC, unlike Warcraft.

I said LOTRO did not have a tiny budget - EA likes to throw money around like there's no tomorrow :p
And yeah - comparing a multi-billion dollar franchise like LOTRO that's known by half the world ... silly me

So you're saying lord of the rings was huge in the general public before the movies?

Going on what I heard folks chat about ten+ years ago Warcraft was buzzing among my age bracket whereas Tolkien and that Warhammer stuff wasn't on the radar.
All I'm saying is that Blizzard's setting's been simmering with the broader public longer then lotr and warhammer.

Tolkien in the UK is more well known than the actual Kebabs.
