Well lets see after seeing the website, screenies, and thinking of a LOTRO game I was thinking, this is gonna suck, just Turbine trying to get a penny out of people. And when I played it for a few min. I almost seemed right until, this morning, when I actually got to play for a few hours. This game is basically a try it befor you knock it....cough cough Jetfire.....cough  .
Content wise, this game has some good content, and it doesnt mess with the original story of the trilogy. The boundary of what you can be in LOTRO is pretty good. That way there cant be 50,000 magicians, since they were rare in teh story. So they sticking to the lore pretty well, which explains why there is a limited selection of class in LOTRO.
Combat, its pretty fair, follows EQ2 style combat, which is ok, they like doing that classical thing.
Graphic wise, the world is pretty nice, not SUN nice but close. THe colors arent to rainbow like and arent to blend like, so they found a good balance.
Problem wise is the player base, if the GM's can keep control of the black sheep players of the MMO's, then I see this MMO as a success. Not as big as WoW success, but a success. Guess Turbine can do something right after all ^_^.
