I just want to say that, after years of playing WoW and Guild Wars, two games that I have greatly enjoyed playing, a friend invited me to try out the 14-day free trial offered by Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO). I was skeptical, as I had heard that LOTRO was a poorer imitation of WoW.
I have to say that LOTRO completely won me over after only a few days of playing. Why? Well, here are a few of the reasons.
LOTRO has:
--a beautifully realized world: the Shire feels just like the Shire, the Barrow Downs and Old Forest are just as you'd imagine them to be. Every detail, from grasses blowing, mists swirling, full moon rising, rain splattering, and on it goes is absolutely spot-on perfect.
--one of the warmest, friendliest, most helpful communities I have ever encountered in an MMO.
--group-forming tools that surpass those of WoW and Guild Wars both. Need a group? It is usually not difficult to find one. Trying to find a group for lower-level quests and instances in WoW is absolute torture.

Let's get this out of the way first... "I love playing LOTRO". I enjoy it so much I decided to add a second account and thought I'd purchase the Special Edition assuming that the extra items would be worth the additional cost. I must say that I was very disappointed.
It is obvious that they (Midway) tried to copy WoW's Collector's Edition, which is a nice and worthwhile special edition, but Midway did it completely on the cheap.
The Map of Middle Earth that is included is all but useless and printed on very cheap lightweight paper.
The "exclusive in-game item" you get is only useful (+1 hope) at very low levels if at all and takes a full hour before it can be used again.
The soundtrack CD is a real pain! It includes the narration from the game's cut screens so you have to hit "skip" on you CD player almost every other track if you don't want to hear all the game narration over and over. Why didn't they just put the songs on CD like WoW did on their collector's edition? It would have

I downloaded the game on line, it is great, and different from WoW. I bought the Special Edition box only because I wanted the "Cloth Map" stated in the description. It does not have a cloth map. Just download the file and start playing tomorrow (it's a big file).
