LOTRO to go 'free to play' in the autumn....
- Thread starter n111ck
- Start date
Im finding the download to be very buggy, had to torrent one of the files. I love what I have seen on youtube videos of the game, even though the default blue GUI looks hideously out of place imo.
Any recomendations on a class?
Are healers/tanks a nightmare to lvl or do they do ok?

Not really much like that in LOTRO (or indeed LOTR itself). At least not in the traditional sense.
Yeah, its still not exactly a class which runs about throwing fireballs and lightning bolts. Not in the traditional sense of a mage/wizard in MMOs.
It just got up to around 830%, and now it has a - in front of the number and is counting down backwards.
Lotro client has possessed my PC.
Guys i bought the boxed copy of LOTRO that came with the Mines expansion and 30 days free play about 8 months ago when it was about a tenner to buy.
I have an account but i have still to activate the game so i am wondering could i download the 14 day trial and after the 14 day use my code to activate so i would essentially get 6 weeks of free play ?
Also how much is it a month now ?

Yes.
I left it downloading all night and now its done ....
Now what server do I want .... I really should try a RP server, and Laurelin seems popular. But I dont know if I can stay good enough in the chat boxes and not end up kicked off an RP server lol.
I want to make a Lore Master / Historian now, and then a Rune Master / Tinker after it goes FTP and I buy the expansions using the free points. Those two crafting professions seem to go well together (farming + cooking, Prospecting + Jewelry + Weaponcrafting across them both, plus the Scholar thing).

Hehe, if you don't think you can control yourself in the chat then I would suggest snowbourne? Decent population server and you won't need to maintain control in chat.
All the servers have good communities, depsite what some of the elitist ***** on Laurelin like to think, pick the one that fits your mould best.
If you want to roleplay go onto Laurelin, If you want a very busy active server go to Snowy or Eldar, if you want a quieter server go evernight or gilrain
Laurelin is also good for player events of course, even if you aren't a roleplayer its good to watch the events. All depends what you like really. My lean is towards laurelin, but snowbourne has a good population too. Last time I saw the population figures for the servers laurelin and snowbourne were the top2 for population.

I went with Larelin, i have no idea what server my first character was on, couldnt find where I played when I first got the game.
I just had to OC my PC back up, it was running at 1.6 Ghz CPU and underclocked 5770s (600 / 1200 because it was too fast for Deux Ex
), and Lotro with 8x AA was running like crap and I thought 'Wait a minute, I underclocked my PC!
Now its fine with 4 Ghz CPU and 1000 / 1300 on the 5770s, but I want to try and get AA working through the CCC, not in game so I can use SSAA.
Bah, that doesnt work, I cant use higher than 8x of crappy MSAA
