Wandrew started playing the Lord of the Rings beta yesterday. They’ve still got a link to sign up for it on LOTR Online, I registered so hopefully I’ll be seen as worthy enough. It looks fun. The player mods could do with some improvement, they’re just a little boring looking and too Poser-ish (shudder). Not a patch on WoW. But there are some nice touches like the naming suggestions when you go to create an Elf so that you can get in character without having to be a huge Tolkien buff. Also wandrew tells me that you can set up back stories for your character and genealogies which all sounds pretty pad.
If you like the beta, LOTR are offering pre-order “Founder Memberships” including a lifetime membership for $199 (or $9.99/month so you’d want to be playing for 20 months), from what I gather you’d need to buy the game as well (I think you’ve got a month to do that). Wish WoW offered lifetime membership. Stupid Warcraft.
