Lord of the Rings Online

I still hop on DDO from time to time, same parent company, same f2p model, and I much prefer this system to pay monthly.

50$ in turbine points when I reached my "limit" of free play (it is possible to get the entire game for free if you want to sink the time into it) got me everything I needed. Another 50$ in 3-4 months will get me everything else, and I've been playing on and off since February. So 100$ for complete ownership of the game as long as the servers are live over the course of a year vs 150$+ annually to "rent" a game (plus the cost of expansion packs and account) is a no brainer to me.

I like DDO well enough, its more of an instancer than an mmo, but it also requires a wider variety of skills than just stat stacking and knowing your pulls.

I played it for free 2-3 months before I decided to support it, and I'll probably pick it up today and level my bard. Best bang for my buck I've gotten from a game in a long time, and there's no reason for me to think LotRO will be any different. Except I hate LotR so fug it.

Both games are a nice aesthetic improvement over the fluorescent dolls of WoW as well.

DDO jumped from 7th most popular MMO to 3rd when it went F2P, and LotRO has the potential to do even better.

That's because WoW has been dumbed down to where its so easy anyone can play it. They've absolutely destroyed the core of the game for marketing advantages, and it worked.

Whatever. Its not about WoW vs the rest of the community. WoW has become the Wal-Mart of mmos, with the same quality of consumer and product.

I'd wager most of the p2p content is engame with a smattering of choice adventure packs for low and mid range. You can probably still play 60% of the game for free, and get the other 40% free if you want to sink that much time into it.

Or anyone that's bitching about inaccessible content in a free to play model can go beg mommy for an extra 50$ to purchase all content needed to enjoy the game to its fullest, with no future fees unless you want new expanded content.

Just finished downloading LoTR Online yesterday. So far, it seems interesting. I've been playing WoW for about four years and EQ before that.

WoW, for the cartoony world, does have the highest quality experience, but LoTR does have a certain charm to it. Time will tell, though.

There's definitely more to it than endless farming, stat stacking, knowing which pulls to make, and buying gold from Korean farmers while bitching about it.

The ONLY mmo players that bitch about gold farmers are the ones stupid enough to support them by purchasing fake money with real money.

If you've ever purchased fake money with real money, please raise your hand so I can mock you openly.

    • This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.
    • That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.   
    • Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
