Well, i think title got your attention allright...



I want to say that as for this moment (this might change in future) LOTRO has the best, friendliest, funniest and maturest community

in any MMO up to date (yes in case you wander , it even beats Ryzom).



And i would not even beggin writting about quality of roleplay encountered so far.





So what is the catch ?



Simply many people , especially ones drawn to PVP and powergaming do not like LOTRO at all !



And this created community of people that play only to have fun and socialise. Not people that play to be better than others and prove them selves the better over the other.



So what is my rant ?



Simple as this :



If you dont like LOTRO. Please , please stay away from it !




Thanks

    Okay, troll topic alert, troll topic alert, if you have a problem with some members of the community try talking to the developers about it, from what I've heard the folks at turbine are pretty decent and Tiggs a former SWG community manager (one of the good ones) is working there, I doubt they'll ignore you that much so try posting there instead of complaining here where the developers don't read much.

    Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.

    Indeed it is, but it seems like he wants the people who find the game horrible to simply leave the game and not try to ruin it for those who do like it.

    Rattrap rather amuses me. He'll find a game, make opinionated posts about it even though he hasnt played it. When he gets around to playing it, he'll praise it as the best MMO since sliced bread and when hes no longer having fun he'll bash it like it was nothing better then the scum on your boots.

    Puppet you are full of  mouse poo



    How can you say thing like that ?



    Games i bashed (and played) DDO and Vanguard. And how can you say i was not right to do so.





    Other games i played and praised ... and still praise nothing changed



    EQ2 played -> I still love it and recommend it

    COX -> Amazing game that i love and still regullarly recomend.

    WOW -> Great game , everyone must try

    AO -> Love it



    So why are you saying such things about me ?





    And PS







    p.s

    Abovewas  not in any way troll post, so dont label it such. My message is clear and simple and easy to understand even for simplest of minds.



    You dont like LOTRO , dont play it



    Can it be any simpler ?

    Thank you. None of us would have ever thought to not play games we didn't like.

    Where would we be without your great wisdom to guide us?



    Of course, how are we going to know we don't like it if we don't play it?

    Well, by this topic i assume you don't like LOTRO, but you like WoW.

    Can you explain me how is WoW different from Lotro then?

    You talked about  palying to be better than others?

    In WoW,  in order to be better than others means spending 300+ more hours in raidinstances more than others.  I wouldn't call that proving to be better than others...



    I also find your ending sentence very amusing "If you dont like LOTRO. Please , please stay away from it !"

    Only way to find out if I like it or not, is to try it out  and if i don't like it , I will stay away. No need to give such advices.

    You didn't catch the sarcasm of his post, I take it. He's not bashing LoTRO. Read it again
  • foulu625foulu625 Member Posts: 177
    Agreed. This is probably the first MMO I've thoroughly enjoyed without any exception.  The community is awesome (except for some ooc channel nazis, but you'll always have those.) I think the game's community will get even better after the free month is up.



    What server do you play on?

    How about you take your own advice? Oh yeah you won't, because you and your little LOTRO thugs are a bunch of hypocrites. I'm happy you all found a place where you can congregate and I'm starting to be glad of LOTRO's existence simply because it keeps the weaselly little trolls occupied and off these boards for the most part.

    So what I'm trying to say is, good for you.

    and I'm glad you guys can be civil and mature when you have no one disagreeing with you.

    Edit: After reading it over I was harsher in this post then I meant to be, but the condescending and hypocritical nature of this post really got to me.

    I agree w/th Rattrap- the community there is excellent! It's drawing the serious, dedicated kinda gamers



    But you are in for a big surprise if you think PvP isn't gonna be huge in this game. It's gonna be the point of no return when we get a big population of level 30 Freeps that can enter the Ettenmoors- the PvP region to take on the monsters. The only thing slowing the ball from rolling right now is because of the level requirement on the Freeps-( the free peoples)- that stops them from entering the PvP region until they are a certain level- isn't it level 30?. From summer onward- that PvP region is gonna be swamped. I know PvP'ers that played there at the end of the Beta that friggin LOVED playing there. Especially that night the Devs came into the Ettenmoors as monsters and took on the Freeps for hours LOL!



    But Turbine made that region a world unto itself. We don't see their chat- we don't see them period. They have their own area of the world to run around in. And Turbine might SAY that they don't wanna focus their games on the PvP aspect but actions speak louder than words- they ALWAYS have put a TON of effort into the PvP parts of their games no matter how they try to say they are a PvE more kinda Devs.



    And it's not the PvP'ers that we want to stay away from LOTR- it's the griefers/ haters. They aren't synonamous .

    And on this i agree 100% There is no good reason to flame another game and to ruin it for those who like it i wish more people in this community were this mature [unlike some in this thread].

    Well, lets see here, MAYBE if you don't post these posts commanding people to go away from a forum then they will not attack you. Simple logic should tell you that if you post flame bait like this that you are going to get flamed...

    Also, maybe a quick spell check every once in a while would help you.

  • skiziskizi Member Posts: 120
    Quick, everyone attack the fanboi!!!



    If you like LOTRO, good for you. Play it, enjoy it, and discuss it. But you're really asking for it when put this on the general forum. Fact is, everyone will NOT have the same understanding and values as the next guy. Some people hate LOTRO, some people love it.

    I didn't like your attitude on this post at all + I hate LOTRO +I have nothing to play since I quit wow + I was pissed

    sorry

    World of Warcraft is a proof that MMORPG quality should affect schedule/budget and not the other way around.

    No, they do it because its quite ironic. You have also been heavily criticising Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. the same rule "If you don't like it, leave it" could be applied there, but that didn't stop you from making bash Vanguard posts. and now you are here telling us to just stay away from Lotro and get over it.

    And just the other day he said he'd become a Vanboi....I think our friend here is just really wishy washy in general.

  • PraxusPraxus Member Posts: 266
    Well I can certainly understand the OP. I don't play primarily to socialize, and I only have a BA in nerdiness and not a PhD so I'm not into roleplaying. I like to achieve and raid....so yes I don't like LOTR.



    However the OP's post is also totally unnecessary. I've stayed away from it since I got bored quickly in beta. I think its kind of a foregone conclusion that people who don't like it will stay away from it!

    There are a great many people that refuse to use the same common sense you do. It was to these people the post was addressed and I personably think there are enough of them to justify the post.  

     

    If anything he could have been more complete since this isn’t a problem specific to LoTRO, it’s something that happens with every game on the site often with the same group of people causing problems.
