PLayed some last night...it is pretty sweet, I would suggest that any WOW fan and any LOTR fan try this out when you can, if I here of more Beta slots I will let you know.

In summary the game offers 6 classes
most various Melee classes, plus a rogue type and a mageish type, I read somewhere where they did not want heavy magic, as only the most pwerful people in the middle earth arena could use magic..a.k. Gandolf
If you wanna think of it as a Barbarian, Paladin, fighter, ranger, rogue, and a caster/healer of some type.

The graphics are unreal....Imagine the open world of WOW..with good graphics..a.k. no toonish look, more realism.

EVERY thing about the game has the WOW feel to it, supposedly these developers were former Blizzard guys and have left to develop this...

I will post screenies as soon as I am able to figure out how...lol

In the opening sequences you are imprisoned and must escape, a NPC you meet starts a distraction, by lighting a building on fire...it burns and looks awesome...then you come up upon a ring lord, horse ****er...whatever their name is....it is awesome looking. I took a pic and will try to post a pic.

Yes...the game is pretty neat. I made an elf hunter. Skilled with a bow. The casting icons work just like WoW and are positioned at the bottom of the screen. The game is really smooth for alapha 2 test. A few glitches here and there. After you go through the intro part you enter the main game. Lag was pretty bad in Bree, but outside the town was smoother. I can't wait to jump back on again!
