Interesting review of the first impressions of LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online), Turbine's newest MMO that features J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth. Unfortunately due to the success of Blizzard's World of Warcraft, creative gameplay layouts and features seem to have become somewhat... stunted. I doubt any new MMO will enjoy the success that that game does unless it draws on popular material and also addresses the problems that people have with the gameplay structure of WoW. All the same, I wish them luck - I have found that monopolies lead only to stagnation.
