I give LOTRO a 9/10.
Of course, I am biased and view the game from an RP perspective *chuckles*
There is a ton of content though...which was the major difference between MxO and LOTRO, I found. Oh yeah, and for those that think that Middle Earth is too small....Turbine already has 5 expansions planned....the game is gonna be massive.

Yeah, we didnt get one....the RP community picked Landroval as the unofficial RP Server though and so far its been awesome. Roleplaying everywhere you go...especially the Shire *grins*
EU: Laurelin, the official and only RP server in English.
Heard that the US don't have a RP server.

I've been playing since it went into it's first beta. If you have a computer that can handle the settings cranked, it's the most visually stunning game that I've seen yet. As has been already stated, the combat system is nothing new, though it actually does rely a lot on knowing the intricacies of your class and how to best utilize every skill to it's benefit, and knowing when to. Coming from MxO and being used to using a much faster combat system, you can apply a lot of the same tactics and techniques. My main is an elf Loremaster, which is the light armor mage class and generally not thought of as a combat class. However I've never had a problem in duels with the hunter and tank classes who aren't used to more tactic based combat.
It does all come down to personal preferences. I've always been a big Tolkien fan and if your familiar with the lore, the world and the detail that has gone into it is unparalleled. For those who are just comparing it to EQ2 and WoW, yes those games were the originals in the Fantasy MMORPG genre.. but Tolkien essentially created the Fantasy genre to begin with when he made the LOTR universe.
I'm also going to post a few screenies that I've taken, but to show a different side to LOTRO. Seriously, the days are beautiful.. but the nights are downright stunning.. and a point I thought was pretty cool, they've actually made a fairly acurate night sky, complete with constellations.

Yeah, High Res is available with the retail copy...also, they have added numerous varieties of dyes and the armor is not longer "shiny".....and yes all you Matrix people....in LOTRO, that is a good thing.
Whoa. Did they release the High Detail client or something? Or maybe it's just Aragorn's facial bitmap throwing me off...
Either way, this is bringing back some memories. I still disapprove of the whole armor situation, though.
