So i was a late bloomer with AoC. After the debacle that is known as Dark and Light i am very wary of  getting a game till after a month of release.

When LoTRO was released i was embroiled in my attempt to rekindle my first MMO love called Dark Age of Camelot. It was enjoyable but in the end the low pops of the servers was a detriment to such a well done game.

So after a month i buy AoC, i wish i hadn't, what a terrible let down this game was for me. I should have learned my lesson when i was a Closed beta tester with Anarchy Online just how bad Funcom is with there community relations and there patching schemes.

After attempting to play my newly nerfed Necromancer, i just got sick of it, exited out and cancelled my subscription.

But i am an addict to MMOs i play them instead of watching movies, or T.V. So i had to find a new addixtion, It boiled down to Tabula Rasa or LoTRO . Pricing of each had nothing to do in my decision, even though LoTRO was 1/2 that of TR. What made my decision for me was the community and how open and supportive they all seem, (opposed to the angry, bitter and resentful community of TR) of course there are those naysayers and bitter players (in every MMO i have played), but those were few and far between in LoTRO.

As i st here waiting for my Download to complete, i am anxious to start a new game. I am anxious to explore the world that Tolkien/Turbine has created.

With that stated, i just wanted to tell you all who are supporters of this game, that because of you and your attitudes you have gained another player. I hope that in some way you all know that because of your optimism you grow this game more then just the developers can.

Anyhow off to start my game, sorry for the WALL OF TEXT,and the semi unintended brown nosing, i just wanted to thank those who helped me decide.

(It was those in this forum not the official forums, which is a rare thing to find on MMORPG.com)

Welcome and enjoy of Middle-earth!

If you are looking for a Kinship, this is our portal http://heroesoflegend.com.ar and if you wanna know more about us http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Kinship:Heroes_of_Legend

Well still a noob to this game i am assuming Kinship is a guild in this game, and fellowships are Groups ?

Not sure what server i should play on.

Anyhow i appreciate the reply.

Brandywine is a very good server...

Edit: and yes the community in LOTRO is very supportive and everyone loves the lore and the game itself.

While i do not think turbine did the greastest job with the game..it is very polished and has a good feel of immerson and very enjoyable

Welcome to Middle-earth.  If you have yet to pick a server I suggest Landroval.   Although the population is lower, I've had a good experience on Windfola as well.

Have fun in middle-earth! :)

The community is very much one of the best aspects with LotrO! Very friendly and mature for the most part...

 Welcome!!  I would also suggest Landroval.  It is a great server, and does have RP, if you are interested.

Good lord people, stop going to Brandywine.  There are other servers out there.

Try Vilya...home of many of the world firsts (back in the day).

Brandywine has good PvP.

Silverlode has good PvP with a lot of drama and politics. Oh and the creep tribe BSE seems to be the best of any server so the fights are always good.

Welcome to Middle-Earth and I hope you enjoy your adventure.   

Welcome to LOTRO! Remember to take you time and have fun!

yeah, i just cancelled my AoC account and trying LotrO as well. I did try Lotro out during the beta and a little while afterwards but stopped for outside reasons. from what i remember it was fun.

Welcome, I'm trying lotro myself, nearing the end of the 14 day trial and still like it.  Game does indeed have friendly, for the most part, players and high levels willing to help anyone that needs it.  I play on Snowbourn on EU servers,
