Lord of the Rings Online Beta

Suprised no one has brought this up yet. Is anyone else playing? Its not a bad little game. I have very few complaints about it. I haven't got my character up very high, but its not real challenging, which could be good or bad depending on your perspective. I'm not sure I'd say its better/worse than any other MMORPGs out there, but I'm enjoying it.

Not into grouping (not even sure how to yet lol), but if you are playing, send me (Parsley) an IM if you like.

I am in the beta right now as well.

Normally on as Tetsuma or Sabek.

Overall I find it enjoyable. Lag is horrible atm with the increase of server traffic. I have had some crash to desktop, but enjoying it nonetheless.

My wife stole my beta key while I was at work today before I could activate it

Anyone happen to have one kicking around that they are not going to use that could PM me with the info please?

Can you be a RingWraith in PvP vs Hobboes?

I'd settle for a Cave Troll or Uruk-Hai tho!

It's pretty finite on the classes and races from what I saw when my wife was playing. Humans, Elfs, Dwarfs, Hobbits and a mixture of melee classes sort of like Pally, Warrior, Rogue, Bard. No casters from what I have seen and sorry Kwon, no martial arts types.

Anyway, still looking for an extra beta key if anyone happens to have one kicking around.

There are several tank type classes, a healer, an int caster and a few others.
Hypothetically speaking.

I wouldnt mind getting in on this, is this something you can only get on to if someone invites you?

It's like Vanguard is / was. Create a forum account and fill out the beta form. Awhile ago there were "buddy keys" handed out and I hear tell they are going to be handing them out again after this weekend.

Still looking for one and watching my wife play my account

I watched a friend play and it looked like WoW interface with different graphics. His dwarf was fat. The elves were funny, I'd make a Legolas joke but hey... it IS Lord of the Rings Online!

What they need is a Catapult!

I don't like the combat interface. Maybe it's just cause the slots/buttons thingies are too small, or I don't like how the spell "refreshes." Its very similar to WoW and EQ2 but I feel like I have to "watch" it more for some reason.

The races and classes are limited, so those used to the 65465631 class/race combos of EQ2 will be a little underhwelmed, but I don't mind too much.
