if u mentioned your in the twilight guild we all have a greater chance of getting in the beta :p
i said I'm from Twilight:)
As did I. Looks fun, though I haven't really looked very close at it yet. I'm a big Tolkein fan. 8)
ya i haven't really looked at the game aside from screenshots. I read a review or two but i don't know much about the game. Eitherway i hear they will have instancing like in WoW and essentially they are trying to do everything blizzard did but better. That and i loved all the lotr books since i was like 10, I have a super old edition of all the 3 books that i just keep cuz the print date is soooo incredibly old maybe one day it'll be worth something. Thankfully i have a newer set that was printed BEFORE the movies so i dont have those stupid celebrities printed on the covers :p
uh u guyz have read LOTR and are fanz, and dunno who Tolwen is?
i used to play LOTR roleplaying game ( paper and pen ) called, MERP ...with a bit mix of someother games ...I'ma start back after my Vaction is over...cuz almost havnt played it since Tolwen was lvl 20

ya i know who tolwen is, he's the guy that goes online and offline every 5minutes, go figure...
ROFL!!!
nooo my internet is gr8 for another 3-4dayz ;D
but really, do u know who Tolwen is?
if no i can send a PIC and a 1-2 page story about her when i go back home^^
i thought tolwen was a guy :p
Tolwen is a girl ,I'm a guy :'( :'( :'(
sorry i meant the name
np:) lol
Well, the screenies look real nice. I can say that, perhaps on par with Guild Wars. Graphics was GW's real asset, but it came at the cost of player interaction as outside of towns all is instanced. If LOTRO can do the graphics like that with full open player interaction, then they will have a good product, indeed.
So should I start fishing for "the 1 ring"? ;)
I signed up woot
if i did get it i would neglect it lol like neopets and abunch of other junk i made an account on lmao, i bet my neopets are dead now lol. ]:D ]:D
I just got an invite to the beta today. You have to download a 2.6 gb file :( This will take forever.
Oh, Zario, I got in too! :)
ive signed up for the beta .... looks very interesting, but nothing could take over my love for WoW
heh lucky
i got in too and finally downloaded the 2.6 gig file while playing wow last night. then i had to extract everything, load the game, and then download all the updates. it took quite awhile but now it's all loaded and ready for my acccount creation tonight. i'll create a toon named usonian so if anyone else is on look me up.
the screenshots look nice and all but some of the gameplay looks a bit boring and slow. i think wow did it right with the "cartoon" look because evey game i see that tries to make a realistic looking game just reminds me that the technology to do it correctly doesn't exist yet - at least for home pc's. i'll stick with wow, but i can't resist some free play on a game that isn't out yet.
I have everything downloaded and updated and ready now also. All ready for the account creation tonight. I'll try to make a character named Lyte, but if it's taken or not available or something, check for my other alt names I use: Rosalyn, Chrystine
LOL, I got an invite as well. I may check it out, but my desktop computer is having issues. I freeze in game and have to reboot. After a while if I don't reboot, the screen goes blank.
Any ideas on what is going wrong with my comp? I would greatly appreciate any ideas, as trying to buy new components and hoping I get lucky is not cool. Also, when I turn in quests and receive my reward I get DCed. I don't immediatly get kicked back to server, but the game stops responding and in a few minutes goes to the disconnected from server screen.
This problem(s) do not happen on my lappy via my wireless router. Please help! :'(
I got in a long time ago, like 2 months ago. Just been too lazy to download and install it. I might do so this evening right before I go to bed so it may be done by the time I wake up in the morning.
I bet Tuesday mornings will be the busiest time for the beta ;D I too am all set for the character creation tonight and I think I'm going to try and stick with the name Zario.
how many people from here would migrate on over to LOTRO? i would casually play when the game is released. but then again .... BC would be out before LOTRO ...
w00t, chrissy smileys!
:xmaswreath: :snowman: :xmas_tree: :santa_smiley: :oldschool_frosty:
were you guys able to sign up yet?
The account creation webpage became available at about 8:05 EST. After that I had to wait to get through since everyone else was probably doing the same thing and flooding the server. I finally got through and signed in after about an hour. The disappointing thing was that after all the downloading, extracting, loading, and signing up, the server wasn't even available to play and won't be until Thursday.
ya I got signed up last night also. Just gotta wait to get into the server because it's closed still.
still waiting to hear if i got in yet .... i check my emails every 5 minutes just about lol .... man i must be either sad, or must be getting bored with WoW.
I signed up and said I was in Twilight.
wish i got in
I also included that I was from Twilight. I think I can play for the first time in about 45 minutes so I'll see if it'll let me in. This is a "stress test" after all so I wouldn't be suprised if it fails. Have they started allowing guilds yet in the beta? I know they're using the term "Fellowship" instead of party.
I created a kinship called Twilight while I was stuck in the opening zone unable to do anything or talk to anyone. I did manage to add you and Lyte to my friends though Zario. The kinship recruitment wasn't working either, but i'll try to invite you if I see you on and it is working.
I was invited by a friend of mine who's been playing in the beta game. I've had some trouble DL'ing the beta version though. Not sure if it's me or if the DL just isn't completing. I didn't stay up the 3.5 hours it was going to take to DL the files so I guess I'll have to fiddle and fuss with it more tonight.
Wooot! Finally my download went through!! It only took 4 tries to do it :P The file was so huge it kept getting cut off when it downloaded :P So I guess I will be trying this out this weekend ;D
Well i got my beta key. downloaded the game and signed up then I discover they dont have a mac version...Now who codes anything web based in a non global format. morons. So I have to decide if I wanna take my Windows machine out the box just to play a game clearly created by idiots.....I think not. (Of course if it's really fun.....I'll rethink that. :p)
Haha, it's not so bad of a game so far. Little laggy (run speed is...comical), characters look odd to me, but it's not bad atm.
Though it seems like no matter where you go someone is comparing it to WoW, SWG, and all the other games out there. It seems alot of people are so obsessed with comparing it to another game that they aren't really playing it to be objective and receptive to what's new about it. I heard alot of "I wish they could take the best part of every online game and make the best one ever" kind of chats the whole time I was on there this weekend. Well, if we're starting in the noob area and most of the content of LOTR hasn't been explored...how do they know the game isn't going to meet their expectations? :P Just a conversation that seemed premature, but I guess expected. No matter where you go, people will always be people.
people = idiots
easy sed
