Simultaneously

I both hate and love that LFR and Dungeon Finder aren't a thing in Lotro. It's cool that there's a community, and people actively try and raid and PUG is cool. But it was really annoying when two night ago, I waited for 3 hours to try and recruit 4 other people and we only got 5 and before the 6th guy joined, it was 1am and I couldnt keep my eyes open, so i went to bed.

But for real, I'm really having a great time playing this game. Super fun now that I'm getting the hang of my class.

Also simultaneously love and hate that flying isnt a thing in LOTRO. Really makes exploring feel more important and adventurous. Really adds a sense of danger.

It's a Good Sign

It's a good sign that I can't just leave Lotro and have my guy kill mobs as they game. If he could, the game could just play itself.

That's too easy

Why I'm Digging Lotro

That's Weathertop, the place where Frodo is stabbed in the Fellowship of the Ring. That's kinda cool.

Having Some Fun

Actually, a lot of fun. With Lord of the Rings Online. After I figured out the UI and the gameplay, it became a lot more fun.

Why do I like it? Well, I've got a couple reasons. One, it's just different than WoW. I've played WoW for a long time and it's nice to finally do and see something different. I still love WoW, but I'm really desiring to see some new stuff.

I really like the single player story so far. I'm playing an Elf and the introduction story is actually pretty immersive. The story centers on a growing conflict/rift between the Elves and the Dwarfs and their clashes with Goblins and the Dourhand family. What I like is that during the introduction missions, they take you into instanced versions of the quest. Meaning you feel like you're actually progressing, and you feel like the quest you are on is important. In WoW, a lot of the times you wouldn't know if you're on a quest other than if it is your quest log. Lotro really puts you into the middle of the action and you feel as though you are apart of the world.

I like the community. Since Lotro isn't the most popular game out there, the number of people who are drawn to play it "because it's an MMO" is less. It also doesn't draw the crowd who would like it because it's popular. It tends to attract people who are either Tolkien nerds or nerds who like MMOs. I feel like even if people who play it can be considered "casual", they aren't the people who would say "fuck it, I'm leaving" after 1 wipe in a dungeon. WoW players have become increasingly impatient and rude and the community feeling of the servers have died. Lotro is the opposite. When I speak in General chat, there's a genuine feeling that the answers I get are because people are helpful. I even saw someone criticize someone else for making fun of someone trying to use "Looking for Group" channel.

I have been really entranced by the look of the game so far. I love the scenery I've seen so far, and can't wait to experience more of it. I especially can't wait to experience Moria and Rohan. I have a feeling that I'm giving this game a pass on a lot of its flaws because I want to get through it and see the world.
