Well LoTro is pretty fun ..and has some elements of WoW ..and some new ones ..LOTRO is focussed on PvE mostly ..though you can play a Badguy aswell in "monsterplay"
this monsterplay is really fun you can play a monster char and kill other normal players in an instance ..this is a verry big place ..almost like the place you quest normally ..you can do quest aswell wich earn you destiny points , wich you can use to upgrade your monsterplayer ..or your main char. epic Battles are fought in there i can tell you that

...a valley filled with wargs and urukai and spiders on a rampage ..meeting up with an army of good guys in the middle ..is golden
PvE wise it`s a great game ..especially the "conjunctions" are cool ..these are combos mostly started by a burglar ..where every member of your fellowship gets the option to do a damaging/poisoning/aoe healing...and so on .. everybody makes their choice of action and after that the team does a teamcombo like in the fighting games ..really funny

and if ppl say they can`t level much i guess they played the beta where there was a lvl 15 lvl cap .
The level cap in retail is 50 atm ..and will be raised with the next expansion probably this year ...+ the leveling takes a long time when you pass the 20 mark ..i think you could compare it to leveling from 1 to 70 in WoW .
+ in LOTRO all of us are noobs again so leveling your first char will take some time
WoW is a great game and still number one for sure ..but LOTRO is great alternative for those that are tired of WoW
and ofc the graphics are absolutely amazing ...if you log into WoW after playing LOTRO ..you feel like you are looking at Doom 1 after playing Doom 3 for a day ..
aaaah my eyes ...everything is so pixelated :S ...
anyways if you wanna try the game ..i got one guestpass ..so i don`t mind giving it to one of you guys
thx for the replies

P.S. LOTRO made smoking cool again ..activate sleepy mood (Mood_sleepy) and type /smoke for a laugh
