LOTRO sells their game by the yard now including the open land quests per zone that used to come with the game. You don't know what you're talking about. LOTRO is a perfect example of F2P gone wild.

The legendary weapons is where buying is a must if you wan't a decent legendary weapon before the level cap goes up. The point is its called "F2P" and your counter argument to what that guy said starts with "you can just buy." "F2P" in mmos is codeword for "you'll spend more than you ever have."

It WAS good...once...not in the least now. Greed kills!

It's common practice in subscription MMOs to pay for expansions. What I'm saying is that you can just pay for the expansions -- the same ones you'd buy as a regular player in a regular subscription MMO -- and you'll get all the quest packs.

LOTRO is a perfect example of F2P gone wild. 'Quest Packs' come included if you just buy the expansions, which most regular players would. I played LOTRO for quite a long time, so yes, I DO know what I am talking about. Out of all the time I played, I spent 10 bucks maybe.. and that was spent on a boost pack and some clothing, as far as I recall. I'm open to hearing how you think it 'went wild', as you say. EDIT: Notice how I didn't automatically dismiss your opinion out of ignorance? Funny how that works.

If EA used MT, I'd want to see the account cancelled screen ASAP.
