Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neo" data-source="post: 3725983" data-attributes="member: 4139">I was a beta tester for LOTRO and carried straight over with a lifetime subscription.  It is an enjoyable game, but has performance issues that make it very laggy in places (Bree for example).  It is very beautiful though even with settings turned down, its one of the few game syou can stand on an in game hill and genuinely say wow.. (no pun) as you look around.  Most quests are soloable, though there are some quests you definitely need a fellowship for in order to do and most are story related..so for the hardcore solo players that may be problematic, but if you arent a hardcore solo'er then finding a team or helpful people is fairly easy, there are some genuinely awesome and helpful folks playing the game.I also play WoW and have for years I enjoy it but it does have some limitations.. namely  the worst of the worlds youth seem to have subscribed and be running ramapant on the RP categorised servers where little or no RP takes place.  The Best items in the games are all Instance found or PvP reward based and if your not into PvP and prefer to solo like me then your kinda screwed.  Regarding PvP even on the no Pvp servers no real allowances or changes have been made to make things work in a non pvp environment..  The other negative is that again almost all new content is aimed at the pvp crowd, not much for the pve'ers, which when the servers are separated PvP and No PVP in my mind means WE should be getting some consideration too.The pluses of WoW is it is a huge attractive game, with a simple easy to use format that is highly addictive.. and it RARELY if ever lags on a WoW server..period!  Which in my books is a HUGE!!! plus.   Pretty much most of the quests are soloable with the exception of instance quests and they are soloable, but by the time you are soloing instances you wont be getting xp or benefitting from the items inside those particular instances anymore.</blockquote>
