Lord of the Rings Online (a.k.a. LOTRO) officially launched yesterday. I downloaded the public beta from Gamespot but never got around to testing it.
Now I wonder if LOTRO is any better than WoW. Reading some of the comments at Gamespot, it seems there are two kind of opinions… I’ll highlight them here:
Type 1: This game is a total rip off on wow and is the worst game I played in years. I don’t recommend it to anyone…
This is not an MMORPG.. MORE like an RPG with a chat engine built in!
Type 2: Only loyal WoW fans will rate this game an idiotic rating of 1-5. Think logically here as a gamer and you will see more! One thing for a fact that will separate this game away from wow, is the limited PVP (only included in Monster Play). You are allowed to duel of course however the game isn’t focused around pvp. It is definitely geared towards the RolePlaying and Player vs Environment communities…
What’s your take, has anyone got to level 10 (or whatever LOTRO equivalent is)?
