    However, I will say this: while I enjoyed the LoTR movies for what they were, I never really cared for Tolkein's writing.  His concepts were good, but I always felt his execution and writing style were dry and boring.  In other words, I'm not a Tolkein fan nor excited about the opportunity to play a MMO based upon his world.  For me, that is about the same in priority as playing on Norrath or Azeroth.

    
    

     

    Truthfully if you do not appreciate the writing of Tolkien I really do no believe LOTRO should be the MMO you play.    

     

     

     

    Wrong.  I have no interest in Tolkien, but love LOTR as a MMORPG.  It's high quality and fun to play.

     

    It's irrelevent that it's based on Tolkien, if it had to rely on fans of his writings then it would not be as popular as it is. 

    It appeals to all MMO fans not just Tolkien fans or it would of died long ago.

    Lol this is just sad if true. Soon the blood is gone and they will lower the mature rating in a desperate attempt to sell a few more copies.

     

    Desperation has set in at the Funcom house of thieves.

• • Why isn't WoW ranked nr.1?

  • *Insert any example you wish*

    Quantity (amount of users) Does Not = Quality

    This applies to all walks of life, all products in the world and all people in the world.  That is why WoW isn't ranked number 1. 

    It's not the best game, only the most popular, why are some people having so much trouble understanding that difference?  Very confusing.

    Mcdonalds is the most popular food outlet in the world, but I wouldn't rank it number one for quality, its really very simple.

    I find it funny that people are trying to equate WoW to Mc Donalds, and then compare Mc Donalds with a fine "wine and dine" restaurant when they're not even the same thing! You want to compare apples to apples? then compare Mc Donalds to another fast food place like Wendy's (yes, PLACE, not restaurant) or compare two actual dine-in restaurants. These analogies are so far off it's not even funny, and yet they've been used over and over for no other reason other than "well, since Mc Donalds also sells in the millions, and WoW has subscription in the millions, they must be the same, so lets do a really lame comparison between a fast food place and a fine sit-in french/italian/greek/etc. cuisine restaurant" Come on people! at least make the comparisons fair! Is that too much to ask? Nevermind, I forgot I'm dealing with a bunch of so called "elitist MMO snobs" of course you're not going to be fair.

    It seems that even that small paragraph was too much for you to understand, so I will make it shorter and simpler (if that's possible)

    Quantity does NOT = Quality  - that's as easy as I can make it without drawing pictures.
