Lord of the Rings Online beta [More:]

I pre-ordered the collector's edition earlier and I am downloading the client. Saw someone else playing it, knew I had finally found an MMORPG I had to buy. Anybody else getting in on this? I am guessing not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I am, theoretically at least. I registered for the key but haven't downloaded the client yet (I seriously need to buy an external hard drive and pull my music files off my computer before I put anything else onto it.). Maybe I'll see you in there :)

Hopefully better than the Lord of the Rings musical I keep cringing over on the tube.

I'm considering picking this up. If there's enough interest we should start a semi-regular gaming session???

Oh god. I seriously don't need another addiction, but I think you're right.

Heh! More interest that I had expected. I wanted to play tonight but the client is STILL not done downloading. Word of advice for anyone that downloads it - you should use the torrent. The other download gave me all sorts of problems and I had to start over using the torrent which is going from very fast to very slow.

Anyway if you pre-order from gogamer.com or amazon.com or several other stores, you should get a key in the mail and you can start playing as soon as you download it. Otherwise you can use this link (should work) and get a key that I think you can start using in less than two days from now. So you can try it out free that way. I have already seen enough that I wanted to do the pre-order so I could get the "founder" option of getting a 199.00 lifetime membership rather than paying by the month only to see it go over that mark in two years anyway. Considering how long I stuck with Diablo 2, I have no doubt I will get my money's worth out of this game.

The client is 75% downloaded after a day of running while I was at work. I haven't actually preordered the game, so I can't start playing until Friday anyway.

I don't know that I'll be into it in the long term -- too many variables -- but it does look awfully pretty, and the details I've read have caught my interest. I'm looking forward to messing around with it.

I played for a while. First time I have tried an MMORPG so I have no clue what I am doing as of yet. It's pretty though!

I am on Elendilmir.

Yep, I'm going to give it a try when it comes out for reals. If I like it I will be seducing the mister over from WoW and we'll dump our WoW accounts.

Downloaded last night, hopefully the install will be done by the time I get home from work. Thanks for the tip, weretable.

As someone who wasted years of his life in MMOGs, I am giving this a pass.
