Ugh, I don't want murphie in my heart. That shit's clogged up enough as is. Murphie, if you want to stick around me, send me a post card or something.

What???? He left the greatest MMO ever to go play LOTRO...

[Eohmer]

Re: Where's Murphie?

LoTRO really isn't that bad. I happened to like it a lot.
People won't give it a chance because it "looks like the graphics are terrible", or too stuck on FFXI to try anything else.

Re: Where's Murphie?

Nope, not me. I won't give it a chance because I'm not interested in it at all, not to mention I'm tired of standard MMO gameplay.

Ok, except you then. :-P

Not every game is for every person.

Exactly. And what are you doing up at this hour of night without being on AIM?!

Something I only discovered recently, LOTR beta only is running on low rez graphics. When the game launches the graphics should improve noticeably.

True story.

It would be incredibly stupid run a beta test but not test something which would significantly stress the gamers' systems like higher resolution graphics, if they actually plan to roll that out with launch.

I'd fire any product/dev/QA manager who came up with or stamp an 'OK' on that kind of brilliant beta test plan.

The safe money bet is that if better graphic is planned, and it's more involved than art asset upgrades, it'd come during or before (one of) beta test(s).

The high-res beta client was only available to pre-order players. Those who didn't pre-order just used the regular client, which still had nice graphics, but they weren't the super high quality.

The closed beta also used the higher quality client.

The game just came out today, Jei.

The transition from beta to launch was pretty much seamless. Those who already had the high-quality client installed merely needed to enter their product key from their box, without having to download anything else. They also included a grace period for pre-order customers who might not have gotten their game today (due to shipping, or not being able to get out to the store or whatever), so those players can continue to play for a few more days while waiting for their game to arrive. Pretty nice, really.

As I said above, not every game is for every player. I played FFXI from 2003 until the beginning of this year. I'm ok with moving on.

Re: Where's Murphie?

Whoah! I didn't realise there were few FFXl players who had an interest in the new LoTR game.

I played the beta just recently, and really rather enjoyed it too.
I thought there were so many quests to get through at the start though, so I have ordered the new official, proper version which should be arriving to me in just a few days.

I'm a little worried that with the new official version, I would have to go through some of the quests again which I have already done in th beta version, and I didn't want to continue with it, as I didn't want to do anymore quests that would spoil the surprise and enjoyment I will hopefully get from the new official version. So I deleted the beta from my comp, and will hopefully get alot more out of the proper thing!

I've looked at those screenshots in the link which someone posted here, (I'm sorry. Can't remember who it was now.) and I must say.... they look quite stunning! I agree about the quality though. To me, they do look somewhat dumned down next to the quality of FFXl, (kind of looks more cartoon like than 3D) but hopefully I will get better enjoyment when I start playing for real.


Edit : It's about half an hour later, and I just found out that my new LoTR game has just arrived to me. YAYY!
Time to go set it up. See you guys in Middle Earth!

Re: Where's Murphie?

Nice of you guys to notice I was "missing" though. :3

First, if your avatar is your character, damn you're ugly man.

Second, someone made a thread about you being missing so people noticed

Third, you're on the top 7 posters, it didn't take much to notice your post count continue to go up and conclude you're not 'missing.'
