Re: Lotr Mmorpg

I'm thinking about picking up the first game and give it a try, since GW has pretty much the same Trial policy as XI. And $29.99 isn't much anyway, so might as well give it a try and take a little break from XI.

That and/or get XII and spend the next month with my BRD stucked at lvl 55.

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

I only played the beta back in 04'. Sometimes I'm tempted to pick it up, since there is no monthly fee, but I'd really rather play with friends. And I don't have any that play Guild Wars.

Honestly, I'd play any MMO if I had a few people to play it with. Even older ones. :/

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

Hmm, a friend is telling me I should give Guild Wars a try. Has anyone played that one?

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

Ah ok. Well, I think the servers for the beta was Australia and the US together (though I couldn't run it very well back then). We'll see, thanks heaps guys. =)

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

i can (check your PM), but since you are in auz-land, i'm not sure if we'll even be placed in the same group of servers.

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

Champion - Melee DPS

Hunter - Ranged DPS

Guardian - Main Tank

Minstrel - Main Healer

Burglar - Crowd Control, and Conjunction starter (conjunctions are a combination of skills that players can use to damage the enemy, buff the party, or something in between).

Captain - Support via Buffs. Can do light DPS, some off-tanking, some CC (via off tanking). Pet Class

Loremaster - Support and Crowd Control. Pet Class.

edit: Don't get me wrong. It's a fun game that is easy to get into, and should provide some fun for you if you don't play very often. It just wasn't the game for me.

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

Cool, do you think I could get a trial pass and come join you Neighbortaru? Is there a place to download the thing? I'd appreciate it greatly.

Also, can you just explain the roles of each class? I mean... just a general thing like "support, tank, etc"

[neighbortaru]

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

well i think it's fun. i didn't burn through the levels as fast as murphie, so i'm still really into it. i do find it more engaging than WoW and the atmosphere is "better."

and if murphie doesn't have his trial pass, i think they sent me one via email.

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

I think I might have a trial pass still.

edit: I do. It's a 10 day trial pass.

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

So neighbortaru, do you think it'd be worth playing then? What are you play hours? I'd probably only have a few hours a day, but maybe not every day.

Also, are there buddy passes or a trial I can try out?

[Murphie]

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

Well, I'd play for a few hours each day, or every other day. Admittedly, I didn't really do any crafting (save for processing the ore and wood that I found and putting it on the AH), but I didn't spend every moment grinding or anything like that.

So maybe "barely played" isn't the right way of putting it. But I certainly wasn't trying to level really fast. There were people in my guild that dinged 50 several days before I did. Even if it had taken me the full 30 days of my trial, that was still too fast to be reaching endgame in an MMO.

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

that's unbelievable! i've been two weeks on my burglar (solo and party) and i'm still 21. your barely play and my barely play must be really different

[Murphie]

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

Nothing. I barely played and I hit 50. Totally solo (since no one likes to party with captains). I was going to stick with it, but it really rubbed me the wrong way that I was able to level so fast without even trying to level fast.

[neighbortaru]

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

heh i'm still playing, I like it.

man murphie, what are you on to hit 50 in 2 weeks? i haven't even broken 25 yet.

[Rostum]

Re: Lotr Mmorpg

Well that's fair enough. I guess I'll just stick with WoW until I find something better.

Ever since I left FFXI, I haven't been able to find my place in any game. WoW I found friends (due to real life friends also playing it), but now that I have 2 characters at level 40 I am finding it hard to progress without getting bored.
