The OP is clearly retarded.
Book 9: Shores of Evendim: June '07
You call that content? Dude, that was a few books with nothing worth playing. Let's see, eriador was a joke quest zone. They added no new items worth getting. The raid zones were crap, all there is to do is Helegrod which you can craft befter items. They added nothing of actually use. Book 10 was so boring, I beat that in like 2hours.
Look at World Of Warcraft, they added free content for 3years and then had one expansion and since then they've added MORE free content. SO that's 4years of free content plus one expansion.
2years after LOTR and they already have an expansion you have to waste money on. Not too mention, the amount of updates Blizzard did in 2months is equivalent to what Turbine did in 12months. Blizzard released patches monthly that UPDATED the game a lot. Like adding PVP, new 40 man raids, like MC, BWL, AQ, Naxx etc.
What do you get with turbine? A useless level 30-40 zone and some book quests... oh and a raid dungeon that sucks more ass then Helegrod. Ya thanks Turbine, I'm totally going to resubscribe right now... I quit that game 1 month after my free month because there was nothing to do. I had all the etched jewellry by the time I hit level 50 and already had the best gear in the game... talk about epic fail if you can finish a game in 3weeks. |

Returned using the trial and my opinion of the game really hasn't changed that much. It's a very decent release that can be fun for a while, but doesn't grab my attention for long. I'm sure there are many reasons for others to enjoy it, but for me everything just feels too empty. With it being a franchise game, there are no real plot surprises, there simply can not be any end-game to speak of, ... And I still think the character and monster models are pretty lame. |

As for the content updates... what they've done really isn't a big deal at all, compared to certain other games.

Helegrod is stupid easy, you can 11 man it all the way until the last boss with ease, 24 man my ass. The 6 man is easy too, and the new zone is 85% water... Do you know why they chose a zone that would be 85% water? So that you had to SWIM alot, I'm thoroughly convinced this was a cheap timesink because the knew that content was pretty much nonexistant. Hundreds of quests? The same quests you did from 1-29, go kill 10 boars and bring me their hides, same quests different names. book 10: Added the city of annunimas with 3x 6-man instances. Also reputation-system with 2 huge public dungeons. And session play with Troll, Ranger and chicken Annuminus is another easy place. Reputation is a cheap excuse for a time sink, grind for days on end for this horse that is minimally better than one you don't need to grind for! This is another thing for the people that can't see through it for what it really is - something that really isn't entertaining or should be considered content. Troll and Ranger play pretty much destroyed the little crap PvP they once had, yeah, sure lets let players run around with things with 34,000 hitpoints that can do massive damage, that's fun, that'll balance things, don't even get me started on chicken play. book 11 (the biggest): Expanded 2 zones with the High pass in misty mountain and Tal bruinen in Trollshaws. New 12-raid (with the best rewards in the game)... New public dungeon Goblin Town (huge)... Housing (personal and kin) with 4 different homesteads... The Rift isn't the best gear in the game, crafted and Helegrod epic sets are still very comparable. They did a horrible job with housing, it's totally linear and you can just barely decide where items go, you're restricted to hooks. Retarded. book 12: Added a PvMP dungoen the Delving of fror and new PvP gear.. also gave us the outfit system and barber shops.. Angmar had a revamp which made the zone much better.. The Delving brought all of the noobs to the 'moors. This was the final killing blow to the terrible PvP in this game. This brought people who didn't want to enjoy PvP, who didn't care how they did it, who didn't listen any better than a 2 year old, all they cared about was farming Ren/Inf all day and night, and nothing more, it even turned old time PvPers into nonstop farmers just because of gear. book 13: A huge new zone, Forochel was added with alot of new stuff... New monster play class: The defiler to give Creeps more healing... and fishing was introduced with titles, trophies and so on.. You wanna know why Forochel has a huge frozen lake? Why did they choose this area as the new zone? The same reason they did Evendim, except this time it's even worse because you can't actually swim. The Defilers to further screw up PvP, fishing is 100% mindless. I was terribly let down by fishing. And ZOMG titles, big deal, another grind factor. book: 14 To be released in July... Not much info yet but it will have 3 new dungeons and also alot of changes to PvMP (nerfing CC mostly) and the comes the payed expansion Mines of Moria which promisises: 10 new leves, 2 new classes (The warden and The rune keeper), 3 new Zones: Moria as a HUGE dungeon, Eregion and Lothlorien... several new raids and dungeons... Legendary weapons... and much more! After over a year of seeing how Turbine does things I think I'll keep my money, because I guarantee you a large part of the playerbase is going to be asking about new content because they're bored after a month and a half.

Man you really have to calm down cause you are taking things WAY to serious... if you dont like the content then thats fine by me... When looking at the list of other MMOs I cant find one that does anything different or better (except maybe EVE)... so what game are you paying that is so great that you have to keep bashing LotrO all the time? LotrO is a casual MMO with story/Lore as its focus.. theres no other such game out there..
I hope Mortal turns out good thou... seems like a cool and unique world.. but it will probably be ruined by immature gankers like all other games.... ;) |
