WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Well the UI is very similar... though I see they at least modified the spell bar a little. Is the gameplay any good?

Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've heard some people like it while others loath it, just like any other game. I might give the demo a go, but I do not think it's worth the monthly fee. "Geez.

Kelverin Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 It's just the poor quality of ingame graphics selected for the screenshot. It actually looks different and imo a lot prettier. My computer can't run it at max settings, so the screen shot was a poor representation of what it looks like with a nice video card. Also those with Vista can use other options that can improve the graphics even more. I did think the graphics were better than WOW thoough....

Hurlshort Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 It looks pretty amazing with DirectX 10 as well. Anyone who complains about the monthly fee for Lord of the Rings Online has no clue what they are talking about. Turbine has released 8 very sizable content patches over the last year. I'm not talking about tweaks, I'm talking about entirely new areas and thousands of new quests. It's also been very well spread out over the levels, rather than just high end content. I played WoW for two years and Blizzard was nowhere near as good at releasing new content. Sony makes you pay for new expansions every 6 months in EQ2 instead of free content updates, so I've got to say that Turbine is by far the best bang for your buck when it comes to MMO's. I pay $10 a month by the way, which is the same price as a movie ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Well, I should have added that I dislike all "pay-for-play" MMORPGs and have yet to see any that I would pay a monthly fee to - but, yes, LotR-O is one of the better ones out there for those who like that sort of game.

Ah, that makes sense. MMO's are definitely not for everyone. Thank you for explaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
