Middle Earth Is Getting Bigger

They would suddenly have the need to double their servers if they put playable dark races in the general world. The orcs, trolls, dark numenoreans, corsairs, and other dark beings weren't mindless automotons. If it became possible to become another Grishnak striving to lead a legion under Saruman's command, after some time take down the old fart myself, I might seriously consider getting in on the action. But if it's just going to be heroes, bubblegum, and roses, I think I'd rather play a My Little Pony MMO....
I was 'lucky' enough to get on the beta for Warhammer, so I had a preview of its shitness. LotRO is, frankly, on a totally different planet - it's really quite lovely.Nurb said:
Sure you aren't thinking of the zerg of Starcraft here? I definitely grant trolls aren't bright, but having the ability to turn a hobbit into a pancake makes the allergy to daylight worthwhile. And MMO's tend to ignore the endangered species factor of a race. Look at WoW and how Blood Elves and Draenei are both a threatened species yet it's so easy to have your own. So don't count the Dark Numenoreans out just yet.Gormourn said:
They've offered a free trial for well over a year now. 10 days is a pretty good length for a trial. And yes, you get to keep your existing characters if you upgrade your trial account.Nurb said:
That's the thing... it was really immediate and rewarding for the first hour or so, but how's an MMO ever going to sustain that for weeks and months?Abedeus said:
Someone should just continuously say "merge servers" to him and see if the twitches turn into a dance of some kind.whaleswiththumbs said:
The important question: When will middle earth get big enough to the point where we have to call it upper earth?
You see, on Yggdrasil, Earth was in the middle of the trunk, between nifilhiem, helheim, and the rest of the lower worlds and....oh nevermind. It doesn't.suicidal pencil said:
Yeah I stopped playing like a month ago so i could try world of warcraft. and i have to say LOTRO is just another knock off of WoW. but in a different world.DRADIS C0ntact said:

I'm glad someone has the balls to stand up to WoW, and the abilities and gameplay to pull it off.
Though, I haven't actually played it, I just think WoW is overrated and it irritates me how nothing else comes close.

Why not just say that Blizzard is Unicron. It's better than the multiple voltron analogy and simpler. We're all nerds here, if we get Vontron, we'll get Unicron. >
For those non-nerds Unicron is the transforming planet (who is actually sort of the devil in the "lore") from Transformers The Movie.
It's much larger than a multiple Voltron assembly.
The multiple Voltron assembly would most accuratly be SoE's lineup of properties you can play under one membership fee (Everquest, SWG, etc...) which is what it did to compete.
