Swarms of people eager to jump into a classic theme, even though the game sports no PVP? i suppose pvp isnt as important everyone... but personally a game with no pvp whatsoever doesnt deserve even a second look. So i was wondering what you're guys reasons are for playing this game... other than "DOOD its LOTR!"

You sure you have the right game?

Knowledge is power.. get some.

and as a side note: why would a game with no pvp not deserve a second look?  There are plenty of fun games that are single player and multiplayer with no pvp.   It's just video games man.

My mistake, shouldnt have said no pvp whatsoever, what i meant was specific opposition, eg. people playing in the fellowship versus mordor

If somebody plays a monester is is a PC now. If I go in with my character it is a PC.

My character vs his character

Player vs Player.

Well whats the point of investing hundreds of hours of fighting and raiding along ur fellow players to aquire items of power and rarity... if u cant show it off  "hey man come on this quest and watch how strong i am when i kill the boss"... PVP allows you to demonstrate ur skills and ur time investment

LOL time investment!

IT'S  BLOODY VIDEO GAME!!!!

The point of most games is FUN, I don't play to show off my gear to some guy I've never met in some country I've never been to.  I play to escape the biting realities of everyday life and enjoy my free time.  I've played many games in my 32 years of life, and most of them DIDN'T have PvP.. but I still enjoyed them.. crazy eh???

I could go for a game of Qbert right now!

But aside from that.. you still think that LOTRO has no pvp? 

EDIT:  Just a comment on the topic of this thread.. you are asking us to tell you why we like it.. READ SOME OF THE OTHER THREADS ON THIS BOARD AND YOU WILL FIND PLENTY OF INFORMATION.  IF YOU HAD DONE THIS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE MADE THE MISTAKE OF THINKING THIS GAME HAS NO PVP.
