LotRO is largely doable with just a duo. There are a few main-storyline quests here and there that yes you'll actually want more than that (if it's a "small fellowship" you can usually do okay with just two, especially if one of you has pets, but "large fellowship means at least 3, usually 4 or more). But usually those aren't too hard to pick up enough extras to do them ( ... )

If you're looking for options, I recommend Guild Wars. For the longest time, I didn't think I'd like it, then I tried it and I enjoy it a lot better than I every enjoyed WoW. It's really good for casual play. You don't need to put up with asshats in any situation if you don't want to (especially if you turn off local channels in town). After the really easy prologue zones, you can flesh out your party with a NPCs if you don't have enough players, so there's no pressure to constantly find full groups (group size ranges from 2-8). Each class feels (to me) different and unique in ways that WoW didn't, and I think combat is more exciting to watch while you play -- some classes have different animations for almost every ability and the animations all look veeeeeeeeery smooth and clean. The lore is extremely rich and well-developed, especially for a setting made up just for this game. The game itself is gorgeous and doesn't use much in the way of computer resources for how good it looks. I'll put some screenshots below ( ... )

Ooh that does look gorgeous. I'll put it on the list for "look at after LOTRO." I have a permanent account in LOTRO that I haven't even *touched* though (bought it in a fit of whimsy after the beta) so I kind of want to use it and explore that game.

Drop me a line if you guys do play :) I don't get much game time during the semester because of BUSY but I usually play a little every day during break seasons.

Brad's pretty good at finding other group members, too, so I'm fairly hopeful about getting to go through all of the book content. I've decided to settle on Vilya since the logrus peeps are there, and maybe make an alt or two on Landroval, the "unofficial" RP server. For my PVE fun, I'd rather hang out with friends which I know is possible, than try to arrange for RP in an MMO, which is always chancy at best.

Yeah, Vilya is where we are. Probably same kinship too, now that I think about it. :)
