That’s the chap. It does seem reading through comments that it wasn’t going to be an MMO to start with and people preferred the original product. I am enjoying it though but I don’t play hardly any games at all apart from LotRO so maybe if I did more my enjoyment would be less. No subscription just the original cost plus a dreaded store but hopefully that won’t be too bad

Anyone else trying the preview week of this new Amazon Games MMO? I am and loving it so far. Amazing graphics and good fun. talking of which I am only getting 30-40FPS but it is buttery smooth, is that because the game engine is a lot newer than LotRO? been put back to May next year but have pre ordered so will get access to future closed beta.

I thought pvp was banned from happening due to the people who grant the LotR licence not allowing it? Isn’t this what some people have wanted for years? Why not do this before?

No, LOTRO ... I'll see myself out

Surely if this brings in new players and gets some old players back this is a good thing? Have any other MMOs done this? Sometimes it is good to see things at face value and not try and over think anything devious has happened. Just a nice gesture in dark times.

Or it could be logins when you put your username and password in initially?

Did they even open or was it just to get the update?

Nice to see the servers opened earlier than announced

So if they knew 2 weeks ago why didn’t they do something about it?

Odd, when I checked it last week it was one of those cheep search engine sites that take over once famous domains.

I enjoyed playing Star Wars and at the moment am playing Final Fantasy XIV which is amazing IMHO

For £10 a year surely it would have been worth them keeping it up. I see it is now a search type thing now.

That’s how I read it too
