As a relatively hardcore Warcraft player, I'm eager to see how LOTR stacks up in comparison.

I just got my trial account set up, but the effort required in doing so has left me pining to play Warcraft instead of jumping in to the process of learning an entirely different game at the moment. I anticipate I'll fire this up later tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.
Though the website(s) for the game has/have been relatively disappointing (if not an outright clusterfudge), I really want this game to be cool. Based on screenshots and details, I'm optimistic and hope to assess it as objectively as possible. I understand it's fresh out of production and the content will likely be somewhat limited in relation to what I'm accustomed to with Warcraft, so potential is what I'll be scrutinizing.

In the meantime, any Warcrafters that can offer some input on what to expect?

I came here from WoW. I was reading the WoW forums when I discovered this game, in fact, in a lovely "LOTRO WILL KILL WOW" thread. It was the first day of open beta, so I decided to download it while I ran an instance. Pan forward a couple of weeks and I had canceled my WoW account, and I haven't looked back since.

LOTRO is a lot different from WoW, though, so if you're happy with the state of WoW you'd probably be better off staying. This game is more about the story of LOTRO and the environment. I love watching the wonderful story unfold. It isn't really about raiding or grouping, though those elements exist.
