Free Online Game Servers

Well I've made two characters so far both elves, one male for myself and a female for my wife (she hates levelling). The male character is a hunter class and we'll talk about him in a later article for now, however, I wish to talk about the wife's character...she's an Elven Lore Master. First off one thing I gotta ask is "Gadalf is a Mage right? So is Saruman? Why then is there NO mage class in LotRO? I mean a pure mage not the lore master/rune keeper types? weird. My thinking is you would want to keep it as close to real as possible if your following the novels and create a game around them? no? Anyhow the Lore Master is definitely a "LAME" character type. They (Turbine) call the lore master the crowd control person, well, how can that be when none of the spells make sense and NONE are for area effect? Crowds=AREA :P In my books. Not a real brainer there guys so where did you go wrong? First fire the guy who made up the skill sets, he sucks. Crowd ...

This will be the last write up on this one for a bit we will check back later sometime but the log in issues with this game make it too frustrating to waste time on. 20-40 minute log ins are not uncommon and all because your "free to play" or so says the load in screen on occasion. I've seen the number of people becoming equally frustrated with the log in issues and are playing other games as well. Word of advice to Turbine, you can tell people something is free but then invent your own monetary system such as "turbines" for real money and it doesn't still make the game free. You can elate your paying customers but if you disrespect the free ones it may do more damage to your customer base than you think. The choice is up to you "Turbine" one thing at the very least is fix the game loader/log in combo to get everyone in a quickly as possible paying or not or you will have ghost towns in Middle Earth.

Hiya, Still exploring LotRO at this time. Currently the games producers have entered some summer festival content for everyone including us "free to play" people. I have noticed however that the festival tokens are also available as a pay for item in the LotRo Store not sure if that's aimed again at just the "free to play" people or what? Worst thing about this game so far it the frikin log in time. Don't tell me it my PC! I get instant log ins on WOW, PotBS, and Tanks online, definitely not my PC. Turbine needs to stop misleading the public, if your offering the game "free to play" then make it free to play the whole thing including shortening the 20 minute or more log ins. VIPs get in instantly. The rest of us suffer and eventually if it doesn't improve so will my review of LotRO. They are offering a 4 realm pack of quests right now at around the 2000-3000 turbine cost which may sound cheap but if your in game earning the turbines, you ...

Lets talk about LotRO for a moment. If you didn't know this MMO now presents itself along with thousands of other ones under the "free to play" guise. And first I'll talk about the things I like and then I'll mention what I don't like, after all what's a review without both positive and negative critique right? Of course.  LotRO from a Game Artist's perspective (I hold a B.A. Visual Art, Game Art) is wonderful. The art is inspiring for the imagination and strengthens the story of middle earth perfectly. The scenery is beautiful and I often find myself stopping in game on my horse and turning off the UI elements (F12) and taking screen shots (F11) of the scenery. Its like taking a mental vacation at times, very nice. The detail in the city art work is also excellent and I was impressed. In instances (dungeons) the artwork keeps up the same level of detail and the atmosphere makes it all seem like your actually in the pages of the novels. Game play...

I guess I'm just upset that people who try to make these game servers public and ask for donations or votes can just go and drop game servers without notification and such? These people @ AMD WOW could use quite a few lessons on public relations. Although they are usually a fun server, they are still rude and impossible to communicate with OR they just flatly ignore you, even if you start off nice. Mainly I'm just hanging around to see how outrageously I can outfit my DK . After I play with the DK a bit I will move onto another free hosted WOW game server where I can give ya the skinny on them. Over-ALL on AMD WOW , it can be fun. Although this game server is fun sometimes it still lacks maturity and serious dedication by its owner to develop it into a great free game server. Ditch 3 of the PVP servers and make 3 of them PVE , Fix all the missions to retail perfection and you might have a great setup here. Don't ignore your users! Even tho you offer this fr...

Well seems they keep shutting down the teleporters from the Lich King , this leave you stranded sometimes or at least taking the long way home. They need to fix these permanent before I blow a fuse. Death Knight update: nothing, they still haven't fixed a lack of rune forge since they made it impossible to go to Ebon Hold . All we care about ids that the regular shit work right? Right! Gonna get a friend to join up with me, see if that makes the game a bit more fun. Missions ALL fixed and working would be a step in the right direction. The PVP is good for the most part, no griefers except the odd res killer but they are pussies anyhow.
