WoW fans will play this and realize its just a cheap rip off. They will go back to WoW.LOTR fans will play it and realize that it has NOTHING to do with the Tolkien world, and they will leave. I think this game is doomed. If they would have been less lazy and stuck to Token's world. the game would have much more depth.
Also, if you choose to get into the stress test, get a download manager. The client is over the normal size allowed by most web browsers, so you'll end up with a corrupt download.
this is an amazing game, however during the last stress test the lag was horrible and nobody could actually test it.I'm hoping this test goes a little better.I still prefer WoW over this though.
Radagast the Brown was a wizard in LOTR and there are very few wizards in the lore. So it would closely resemble the lore if there were only five or six wizards around who could do cool stuff like that, but would not be fun as an MMO.
I am disappointed by the lack of mac compatibility as well. It's still a good game though. I will always hold out hope that perhaps they will develop a mac client, although I am sure that is extremely unlikely.
As far as the memory leak, its supposed to be fixed and I have yet to have a crash due to it. I've been playing since first stress test and enjoy the game. Overall it has a nice balance, its hard to find a game that has everything you want. The good news is however that they are tons of people out there, so personally I say give it a try, if you don't like it now is the time to find out. I enjoy it and already pre-ordered with plans on a lifetime membership, I just foresee big things for it in the future. I tend to get tired of things pretty easily, being why I switch between MMOs so much. But so far it looks like LOTRO is holding me pretty strong.
I love how i got dugg down because I said I liked the game and was in beta and this douche Suspected said I must be a fake spam account because I saw this story quickly and commented on it. Thats great reasoning. A$$!!!! Look at my other comments on other stories. I have never spammed or been rude and leave, in my opinion, comments that are relevant to the current digg story under discussion. GTH. Just because I only comment once in a while I spam. Screw you. I recommend you go to hell.

Faithfull as can be?? The humans can be loremasters? Summoning Animals?? The game has NOTHING to do with the LOTR world.
