Hey guys! I was looking around at a few MMO's and this one caught my eye. I was wondering if I could ask you guys a few questions. I havent played an MMO since my Asherons Call 2 days and I kinda miss it. Now I liked AC2 but it really had A TON of issues. Since LOTR is another Turbine game I just want to make sure I'm not walking into another situation like that. I must say that it wasnt encouraging surfing their site. I wanted to find system requirements (my computer isnt the best) and had zero luck. They also wouldnt let me register a forum account (the register button had been disabled). So here I am. Anyway here are my system stats:

AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 2.2GHZ
512MB system cache
2GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6100 graphics card 128mb shared

Would this game work on my computer?

I also wonder about the player population. AC2 was very sparce indeed. Whats it like in LOTR? I love PVP. Does LOTR have this?

Thank you for entertaining my questions. I hope to be joining you online soon!

I can't tel you about the specs of your vid card, as I don't know nvidia at all...this page has the spec requirements, tho: http://www.lotro.com/index.php?page_id=145. You can't have an account until you have a subscription. Turbine changed to that model a few years ago.

There are lots of people on Lotro, and more join all the time. If you want a heavily populated server, head to Brandywine.

PvP doesn't exist as such in Lotro. However, there is PvMP, where you can play as a monster (starting at level 50) in a special zone. You can take your non-monster character to that zone starting at level 40, and fight the player controlled and computer controlled monsters there. You cannot fight Elf vs Human, tho. Only vs orcs or wargs or whatever.

Hope that helps! You can always download the trial account and play to see if you like it - I think you will!

Since this is the Newbies post here of LotrO. I'd like to ask a question too ^^;
Has Turbine said anything yet about bringing in PvP yet?

Beyond PvMP? No. All indications point to PvMP being the only PvP in LOTRO.

Well at least there may be less WoW like annoying ganking.

Then I am guessing you don't play on a PvP server, or you are on the Alliance side ;p
