    So I did a bit of reading on their site, I like the fact that if you are using the F2P method you don't have access to customer service. It's a tiered system now as opposed to sub only. Which I like, as it tends to draw in new players.

    Had a lot of old guildmates go to this game after WAR kinda hit a dead-end (at least on our server).

    I played it last night for 90 mins...logged and uninstalled.

    I just couldn't get back into it, especially with how much it'll cost for all the new content, character slots, etc.

    I played for a few hours then found out it's really only a Free to try game since you can only get to level 20ish before they turn off the quests and you got to pay up or grind mobs until 50. Apparently buying the game years ago doesn't entitle you to what you already payed for. Then I remembered that I don't like Lord Of The Rings in any form and I could just reup for WOW and get the same gameplay if I was so inclined.
