Title: Tolkien meets MMO
Review: I've been playing MMO's since the days of EQ1. MMO's have undergone various transformations since EQ1. Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars: Galaxies, Shadowbane and Everquest 2 - there have been many pretenders to the throne originally held by the original Everquest. Then along came World of Warcraft - and other MMO's paled by comparison. World of Warcraft is still sitting pretty at the top of the MMO mountain, but Lord of the Rings is making a game effort to get there.However, there are some weaknesses in the game. Tradeskills are tied to professions as opposed to being standalone entities. As with all MMO's, grouping is a bit hit or miss, although the loot tables are significantly beefed up compared to other games.All in all, LOTRO really does cater to the casual gamer better than any other MMO currently available. However, as the game matures and new content is released ... that may change
