I might pick up Lotr online when it drops in price. Looks pretty decent. Can anyone that plays it let me know how well you can do solo? Not looking for a game like FFXI, but more of an online solo game to mess around with once and a while. MM, if I get it, gonna make you buy it also cause I miss you(/cry).
There is a lot of soloing in this game, but there is also a lot of group work in the game too. What I love about the game is the Epic quest line, where you are sort of following the fellowship, but on the side, and you are sort of helping them on your way. So far in the game I have met Gandalf and Aragon.
Classes are your run of the mill, you have a minstrel which is your healer, Guardian which is your tank. Lore Master which is like....well they can summon a bear and a raven to fight along w/ them, and can do a few other nifty things. Champion which is a pure dps class in heavy armor (also one of the few classes that actually has AoE moves), Buglar which is pretty much a rogue or thief, a hunter which is a range attack class and Captain, which is semi healer, some dps, buffer and uses a summoned person to help buff and sort of heal.
Overall the classes are still alittle broke imo, and still need a little reworking. I might go back to the game in a few months down the road but for now, I have stopped playing due to the broken classes. Some are over powered some need a lot of work.
The PvP system is kind of neat where you fight other PCs but they control mosnters. They do have a ranking system in place.
There are a few instances, and from the ones that I did do, they were pretty touch and did require certain jobs before you could even attempt them.
The crafting is what I thought was the best part of the game, it was fairly easy and they did put a HQ system into it.
Money making is fairly easy in the game also.
