Lord of the Rings Online:
Refreshing to go into a game already knowing the history and backstory. Normally I have to learn the back story such as; Who is fighting whom? What are the gods? What are the main cities? What towns are inbetween? What does the map look like? Who are the main NPCs and why are they important?
Mechanics of the game seems standard. Class and race availability mediocre. Character customization is pretty good. World size is pretty big. Quest system is extensive. Involving plot influence from the original story, as well as new envisioned stories.
Not the best game ever, though to me the best storyline so far.
If you have read the books or seen the first movie, some of the content will be familiar.
Anyway. I just wanted to mention it, though I know more play WoW and other games.

LOTRO is fantastic and my PvE game of choice - mostly for the story, more realistic models, beautiful terrain and of course, the best story.

Beta tested it and wasn't too disappointed. Considering going back and seeing if they have a trial.
Currently running the WAR trial (warhammer online).
And the COH/V trial, which I'm enjoying more.
